Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Error restoring database operating system backup up vote 11 down vote favorite 1 I am getting an error using SQL Server 2012 when restoring a backup made with a previous version (SQL Server 2008). I actually have several backup files of the same database (taken at different times in the past). The newest ones are restored without any problems; however, one of them gives the following error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory operating system error lookup for the file "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SQL SERVER\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\MYDB_ABC.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended) This is a x64 machine, and my database file(s) are in this location: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL. I do not understand why it tries to restore on MSSQL.1 and not MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER. sql-server database exception-handling restore sql-server-2012 share|improve this question edited May 24 '12 at 17:15 marc_s 454k938711033 asked May 24 '12 at 16:11 Marius Bancila 11.3k62970 3 This has nothing to do with version problems.

I could understand the bold, but not the title, the quote, the ending, etc. –Marius Bancila May 25 '12 at 6:46 @usr, I mentioned SQL Server 2012, because the problems does not occur on machines with SQL Serve 2008. So, I guess, there is a connection. –Marius Bancila May 25 '12 at 6:47 @MariusBancila: the system used belongs into the tags - not the title - that's what the tags are for. Path and table
