How to restore database backup in SQL SERVER

In this article, I am going to explain the process of  Database restoration using the SQL Server Management Studio. In this article, I will try to explain this process in a simple way so that a database developer having little knowledge of DBA can restore that database using the database backup.

For database restoration process, we need to follow the below steps:-

Step 1:- Open the SQL Sever Management Studio. For this we have to follow the following path:-

START –> All Programs –> Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 –> Click on SQL Sever Management Studio (SSMS) –> Open the SQL Server Management Studio using Login information (Username & password or Window authentication )

Please note:- Above path can be changed depending on the Window version.

Step 2:- Once SQL Sever Management Studio is opened, opened the Object Explorer. By default it will be already opened. If it is not opened, then follow the below steps to open it.

Click on the View(Top menu) –> Click on Object Explorer.

Step 3:- Under the Databases node, select the database for Restoration and right click on it. Then choose Tasks, click on Restore and then choose the Database… as shown in the below figure. Here we choose the Company_DB as database.
