Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of moving two existing databases to a brand new SQL Server 2008 R2 server. The existing databases are on separate servers today (2008 R2 as well). I need to take a backup of both databases and restore them to the new SQL Server instance. My question is - how can I restore all users and roles for both databases? I am using SQL Server Authentication for my logins. How can I retain all existing users, logins, roles, and object permission during the restore process? Will security and permissions be restored from a backup?
