Hello,
I am trying to restore a database in MS SQL 2008 R2 Management Studio on a Windows 2008 server.
- I right click the Databases folder and choose Restore Databases.
- I select the From device radio button as usual and click Add.
- I specify a .bck file as usual and click OK.
- When I return to the Restore Database dialog are two backup sets already in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog that I unsuccessfully tried to restore earlier already there.
- I can see the path to the backup set that I want to add in the "From device" field of the "Restore Database" dialog. The backup is not listed in "Select backup location to restore" as it should be.
- I tried restarting the SQL Server service and I rebooted the server but the files were still there when I tried to do a restore.
- There is no option to remove the extra datasets in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog. I am hoping that if I can remove the extra datasets that this will resolve the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to remove them?
