How do I restore a SQL database?

Rock — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:44:15 +0000

Mount a point in time backup image containing your ldf and mdf files.
Copy the ldf and mdf files to the server running SQL Server (default location is C:/Program files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL/Data).
Restore the ldf and mdf files using SQL Enterprise Manager.

Can an SBS server and a Virtualized Server run virtualized on the ARCA?

Yes. If the backup agent is on every instance of Windows, regardless if it is a physical or virtual machine. The ARCA will support running multiple virtual systems simultaneously.

Can you backup VMware servers?

We can backup VMware servers with the Windows kernel but cannot backup VMware servers with the Linux kernal.

Do you backup workstations?

No, we utilize the server version of ShadowProtect. Only computers running a Windows operating system are supported. This includes Small Business Server. If you are able to synchronize or host your users’ data on the server then that data would be included in the backup.
