Q: I have only the .mdf file backup and no SQL Server database backups. Can I get my database back into SQL Server?
A: Yes. The system stored procedures sp_attach_db and sp_attach_single_file_db allow you to attach .mdf files to SQL Server. In the absence of the log file (.ldf), SQL Server creates a new log file.
Q: How to backup to and restore from network drives, mapped drives or network shares?
A: SQL Server cannot read mapped drives. In your backup and restore commands always refer to the network drive or network share using UNC path. UNC path has the following format: \\MachineName\ShareName or \\MachineName\DriveLetter$\Path
Here is an example to backup the pubs database to a share called 'AllBackups' on a remote machine named 'BackupServer':
BACKUP DATABASE Pubs TO DISK='\\BackupServer\AllBackups\Pubs.BAK'
To backup pubs database to a the admin share 'D$' on a remote server named 'BackupServer':
BACKUP DATABASE Pubs TO DISK='\\BackupServer\D$\MSSQL7\BACKUP\Pubs.BAK'
For network backups and restores to work, make sure your SQL Server and SQL Agent services are NOT running under system account. These services must run using a domain account and this domain account must have read and write permissions on the network share or drive.
