Step 4: Restore alarms data in SQL Server Express database
Luckily, most users never need to restore their backed-up alarm data, but if you ever need to, do the
following:
1. In the Windows Start menu, open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
2. Connect to a server. Specify the name of the required SQL Server, and connect using the user
account the database was created with.
3. In the Object Explorer on the left, expand SQL Server < Databases, right-click the
VIDEOOSDB database, and then select Tasks > Restore > Database...
4. In the Restore Database dialog, on the General page, under Source for restore, select
From device and click <Browse for more...>, to the right of the field. In the Specify Backup
dialog, make sure that File is selected in the Backup media list. Click Add.
5. In the Locate Backup File dialog, locate and select your backup file VIDEOOSDB.bak. Then
click OK. The path to your backup file is now listed in the Specify Backup dialog.
6. Back on the Restore Database dialog's General page, your backup is now listed under Select
the backup sets to restore. Make sure you select the backup by selecting the check box in
the Restore column.
7. Now go to the Restore Database dialog's Options page, and select Overwrite the existing
database. Leave the other options as they are, and then click OK to begin the restoration.
When the restore is finished, you see a confirmation.
8. Exit Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Tip: If you do not have SQL Server Management Studio Express, you can download it for free from
www.microsoft.com/downloads .
Tip: You do not have to type the name of the SQL server: If you click inside the Server name field and
select <Browse for more...>, you can select the required SQL Server from a list instead.
