I have decided to upgrade my installation of SQL server using the side by side migration. I have a .bak file from the old(2008) instance. I have already set up the 2012 instance of SQL server 2012.
When I go to do the restore it fails, and I suspect it is due to connections to the DB. I have not had a chance to try this after hours yet which is why I am leaning toward that. Even though this is a backup file will it still need to have all connections to the 2008 DB to be closed?
Thanks!
