I am trying to move my server from a pc that broke to a new one. I was able to create a backup using the backup server option on the broken pc. I have installed the new server onto the new system and went to the restore tab. I click the location of where I put the zip file but i get this error. "the folder selected to restored your database does not exist, Please select a different location to store your files too." I have not been able to find an easy reply on the wiki pages. Can anyone help.
That error message occurs when the "restore to" folder does not exist. The default path is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data. Is your new machine 64-bit? If so, you will need to change the default path to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data. Here are instructions.
