[AccessD] SQL Server database

You should restore from a backup, or detach and then re-attach your database
after reinstallation.

You should also back up your Master and MSDB database if you have any jobs
running.

Cheers,
Andrew

Subject: [AccessD] SQL Server database


I need to replace my hard disk in my server with a bigger model.  This will
involve a complete re-install (it's time!).  The question is, do I need to
do a backup of the SQL Server database or will a new install be able to just
use an existing database?
