This has worked fine for a box that I did this morning but now I'm getting some errors on this second box. I am doing the following : Right click Database > Restore Database... To database : "myDb" From Device : C:\myDbBkp.bak Check the backup set, and click OK Normally it would give a popup saying "Import sucessful", but now I get the following : Restore failed for server "myServer".

Any ideas? I did this successfully earlier on an identical environment with the same versions etc. Many thanks sql-server-2005 backup-restoration share|improve this question asked

Path and table names etc. should be put between back quotes to make them stand out as such (bold isn't optimal for that).
