Restoring the MSSQL Database

Restoring of the database can be done through the database menu, or [I prefer] like that.

RESTORE DATABASE DatabaseName
FROM DISK = 'C:\Path\To\Backup\File\DatabaseName.bak'
WITH REPLACE

If you get the following error: "Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use", try to get the list of connected users:

EXEC SP_WHO2

Find ones that are connected to DatabaseName and kill them

KILL [SPID]
