restore filelistonly from disk =
'H:\HKData.DAT' will tell you what database file it has. It might be holding multiple database.


RESTORE HEADERONLY
from disk =
'H:\HKData.DAT' will tell you what database file it has. It might be holding multiple database.


I never saw somebody use .DAT for backup files. Are you sure it is a backup device or file?

If you like to restore db to one with different name, you can use 'with replace' option in restore statement.

I think the problem is when I doing back up My SQL on c driver, now for some security reason, I have to restore anthing On my Pc, I want to move it to D driver, I got problem.
I try both

restore database HKData from disk ='H:\HKData.DAT' with replace,
move "HKData_Data" to "D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\HKData_Data.mdf",
move"HKData_Log" to "D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\HKData_Log.ldf"
go
and
restore database HKData from disk='c:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\contacts_primary.mdf ',
disk='C:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\contacts_secondary.ndf',
disk='C:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\contacts_log.ldf' with replace
it did not work.
Thank you for any help!!

Hi Mak,
I think your right, I check by RESTORE HEADERONLY if I got back up type =1, I can restore it, but the problem is most of my database data type have kack type =5, I guess the reason is I replace the backup. what can I do now??
Thank you

You can't restore db from .mdf file since it's db data file not db backup file.

You can attach the .mdf db file though. No need to restore.

May not work without .ldf file.
