In this post, we discuss How to backup and restore a database in SQL Server. Since last few weeks, I am covering the database tutorials. I have already covered few of the topics.
I started from Installation of SQL Server 2019 on Windows. And then later decided to move the operations one by one in the SQL Server. Like the commands and also the internal operations.
For example, I discussed about the DBCC commands in SQL Server. These commands are something every DBA who works with SQL Server should know about. As those commands can tell you how to work with the simple operations in SQL Server.
I also covered the CRUD Operations in SQL Server. As those operations are every day work. You can get most of the SQL queries working in everyday work. Hopefully you would at-least give this tutorial a try.
Today I want to cover the part of the backup and the restore database in SQL Server. I am making use of the 2019 edition of the database. The edition is develop edition. It's a good tutorial for those who want to backup and restore the database.
If you follow the tutorial above you would learn both the method using the database queries which would allow you to backup and restore database option. And also there is one more method where you can use the SQL Server Management Studio too.
This tool allows you to use the GUI method. Where you are following the menu and the options of the tool for backing up and restoring the database. Which is kind of universal way which all should follow if they want to take out the data for backup and also restore it.
The tutorial does not deal with the method of restoring the corrupt files though. Because that would be beyond the scope of this tutorial. Also I am not doing anything related to the reporting server in this tutorial, like backing up that output etc. That would be another custom tool.
If you area interested in finding out how to make use of the Reporting Service in SQL Server then you should check the tutorial. I hope you find this helpful.
This is as of now the only tutorial left on the youtube channel with SQL Server for now. Wait few more weeks and I'd be adding more of such content. I also wish to add the content related to the Python in next few weeks.
My intention is to cover some of the concepts like Pandas, Analytics, Data Science and few other programming concepts which would help you. There are few other tutorials specific to the MySQL and the PostgreSQL database but for now let's just make use of one concept at a time.
If you happen to like this content, do give me feedback over there and that would help me improve my efforts in near future.
