Hi to all I am trying to restore a database from a server file backup. I do not have a backup through SQL Server as it is a database in development and not production at this point. Is there a way to take the restored from backup files of database A (A_data.mdf and A_log.ldf) and rename those files as B_data.mdf and B_log.ldf and restore them to a newly created database B. I don't want to restore over this database in development just retrieve a table or two. Everything I have tried at this point either errors out or looks like it will overwrite the original database because it knows that originally it was database A. Clay
