i have a table that was saved to a separate file.
the table was backed up and now i want to restore it in another SERVER.
when i try to do that i see that the physicla file name point to
Y:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\January2007_Data.NDF
(a location that exist on the old server)
but on the new server i want it to be saved to drive D:
even when i change the drive manually to D it dosent work an i get the error :
error 42000 : the back up set file .... was created by BACKUP DATABASE ...
file=<name> and canot be used for this restore operation..

what can i do?

How did yo do the backup?

Are you doing the restore with move?
Sounds like this might be a filegroup rather than full backup or part of the backup set.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

yes i think it should be a filegroup but not sure
i tried this code :

RESTORE DATABASE Bill2007 
   FILEGROUP = 'january2007'
   FROM DISK='D:\DOWNLOAD\Bill_012007.bak' 
   WITH FILE=1,NORECOVERY,PARTIAL

and the error i recive :
quote:

Server: Msg 3135, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set in file 'D:\DOWNLOAD\Bill_012007.bak'
was created by BACKUP DATABASE...FILE=<name> and cannot be used for this restore operation.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.


Thanks in advance

Think you need to already have the database then you can restore the file over the file that is already there.

If it's a database file then think you would need all the files to do an attach.
