Chapter 4: Restoring From Full Backup Figure 4-5: The options page configurations for a full database restore. The top of the screen shows four Restore options as shown below. • Overwrite the existing database – the generated T-SQL command will include the REPLACE option, instructing SQL Server to overwrite the currently existing database information. Since we are overwriting an existing database, in this example we want to check this box. Note that it is advised to use the REPLACE option with care, due to the potential for overwriting a database with a backup of a different database. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191315.aspx. 126
Chapter 4: Restoring From Full Backup • Preserve the replication settings – only for use in a replication-enabled environment. Basically allows you to re-initialize replication, after a restore, without having to reconfigure all the replication settings. • Prompt before restoring each backup – receive a prompt before each of the backup files is processed. We only have one backup file here, so leave this unchecked. • Restrict access to the restored database – restricts access to the restored database to only members of the database role db_owner and the two server roles sysadmin and dbcreator. Again, don't select this option here. The next portion of the Options page is the Restore the database files as: section, where we specify the location for the data (mdf) and log (ldf) files for the restored database. This will be auto-populated with the location of the original files, on which the backup was based. We have the option to move them to a new location on our drives but, for now, let's leave them in their original location, although it's wise to double-check that this location is correct for your system. Finally, we have the Recovery state section, where we specify the state in which the database should be left once the current backup file has been restored. If there are no further files to restore, and we wish to return the database to a useable state, we pick the first option, RESTORE WITH RECOVERY. When the restore process is run, the backup file will be restored and then the final step of the restore process, database recovery (see Chapter 1), will be carried out. This is the option to choose here, since we're restoring just a single full database backup. We'll cover the other two options later in the book, so we won't consider them further here. Our restore is configured and ready to go, so click OK and wait for the progress section of the restore window to notify us that the operation has successfully completed. If the restore operating doesn't show any progress, the probable reason is that there is another active connection to the database, which will prevent the restore operation from starting. Stop the restore, close any other connections and try again. A convenience of scripting, as we'll see a little later, is that we can check for, and close, any other connections before we attempt the restore operation. 127
