Unable to restore a backup
I have a backup named: xxxx.bak currently in my Temp directory.
This backup was made from SSMS V20.
I recently installed SSMS V21 and unable to restore this backup.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open SSMS connected as "sa"
- Highlite "Database", right click to select "Restore Database"
- The window opens, I choose "General" under "Select a page", no "databases" are listed.
- I then switch to "device", again no "databases" are listed.
- I then look under "Destination, there are several database listed there but not the one I wish to restore.
I'm not sure what step, if any, that I am missing.
