Hey Guys,
I'm running a SQL 2012 server which I've been trying to get some help on from a software vender. My problem is that they asked me for a copy of our database, no biggy right? I'll just right click on the database, hit tasks, backup, and make a full backup of the database as a .bak file for them right? I verified the file before I sent it and they now tell me that they can't use the file. Is there a right way to backup a database in SQL 2012 asides form using the backup option or has anyone ran into something similar?
