Chapter 7: Differential <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Restore</strong><br />

Performing Differential <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>Restore</strong>s<br />

We are now ready to perform a RESTORE on each of our differential backup files, once<br />

using the SSMS GUI, <strong>and</strong> once using a T-<strong>SQL</strong> script.<br />

Native GUI differential restore<br />

We are going to restore our first differential backup file (_Diff_Native_1.bak) for the<br />

DatabaseForDiff<strong>Backup</strong>s database, over the top of the existing database. If you have<br />

already removed this database, don't worry; as long as you've still got the backup files, it<br />

will not affect the example in this section.<br />

In SSMS, right-click on the DatabaseForDiff<strong>Backup</strong>s database, <strong>and</strong> navigate Tasks<br />

| <strong>Restore</strong> | Database to reach the General page of the <strong>Restore</strong> Database configuration<br />

screen, shown in Figure 7-8.<br />
