hey guys - very experienced developer here (fromm the fron end side) for sql server.
Recentlyy i wanted to test routines using my local sql server engine and thought I could backup the mdf ldf file on the true network sql server in which I am listed as a dbowner with full permissions. In fact i can add users for the at db etc.
The backup allows me to browse to a local folder
with the following being the default
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.CMS_PROJECT\MSSQL\Backup\
i name the file and it executes properly but when i try to restore that file to my local db that path is not even visible to me.
In fact when i use exploreer I cannot even find the folders after Microsoft SQL Server!
I search for .bak but nothing.
How can I see that folder construction in the sql browser but never in explorer -
any help would be greatly appreciated.
