Hi guy's,
We have an SQL server (2008 R2) seems to be the express version (No Copy option). I need to move all the databases as they are include all the files that the databases will "need" to a new server (sql 2017). I did the backup and restore method and indeed all the data bases are in the new location but the files (I have a data base that use pictures ) didn't move.. all the backup files where something 15MB. but in the old server there are folders located in C:\ that contains 2GB of pictures. how can I now witch database use those files? and how do I make the connection in the new server after i'll copy those folders?
There is no tool that can take ALL bases (everything!) from a working server and create a file that I could copy and import to a new server?Why is it so difficult to move ALL (!!) from one server to another!
