MOVE N'JobEmplDB_log' TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\JobEmplDB_log.ldf',Īs a result, we restore the JobEmplDB database from the JobEmplDB_Full_backup_2020_07_19_14_21_57.bak backup by overwriting the existing files and the JobEmplDB database and transferring the files to D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA. MOVE N'JobEmplDB' TO N'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\JobEmplDB.mdf', You can perform the database restore from the full backup under the simple recovery model using the following script: USE įROM DISK = N'\\Shared\Backup\Full\JobEmplDB_Full_backup_2020_07_19_13_20_55.bak' WITH FILE = 1, Hence, let’s start with the basic types – a simple recovery model and a full recovery model.
