How to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to SQL Server 2014

I am trying to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to my new SQL Server 2014 instance.  When I add the .bak through the Mgmt studio UI, it does not seem to find a backup set in the file so I cannot proceed (does not give
me any errors though either.  I tried restoring through TSQL command but only got a database restore terminating abnormally error with no other details.  How can I restore this database to SQL 2014?

Hello,
Please examine SQL Server Error Log and share with us any error you can find. The following article may locate the log:

  • How to restore RMAN hot backup to another database on another server?

    I want to know how to restore RMAN hot backup from production server to another database on a testing server.
    The hot backup is from a database named PROD on the production server
    The database to be restored with the hot backup is TEST on the testing server. There is already a PROD database on the testing server and this PROD database must be kept.
    I have read some threads about changing initTEST.ora to PROD to restore such backup but (I think) will not work in my case since I already have a PROD database on the testing server.
    The version is 11gR2 on Linux but the compatible parameter is set to 10.2.0.1.0.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    Since you are on 11g, hope this helps you http://shivanandarao.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/duplicating-database-without-connecting-to-target-database-or-catalog-database-in-oracle-11g/

    how to restore iphon-without backup, after it synchronization from ipod

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.

  • How to restore using increment backup after full backup restore in RMAN?

    Hi All,
    We have a files of full backup of database after turning on the Archive log.
    And after that, daily incremental backup is taken.
    Now, i want to restore the the database into a new machine using both files of full and incremental backups. Can anybody give me script for restore of full backup and after that restore of incremental backup?
    Thanks,
    Praveen.

    Praveen,
    >>
    In my case, i have 2 sets of backups. One is full backup and other is incremental backup. In order to keep the restored database upto date, i need to restore the full backup and then restore incremental backup. Now, i got any idea how to restore using full backup. My doubt is how to update the restored database with incremental backup also?
    >>
    Restore always looks for level 0 backup, not the incremental backups.
    Incremental backups comes in picture during recovery.
    During Recovery, Oracle looks for incremental backups, if exists, it will do the recovery with the incremental backups, if no incremental backups available, then, it will look for archived logs.
    Therefore, incremental backups never used during restore, they are used only during the recovery.

    How to Restore a SharePoint 2010 Sitecollection from Prod to Pre-Prod?
    The patching levels are different from each environment.
    Tools installation is same.
    Note: Suggest me to restore a site from site template without content.
    If you have any better approach please tell me.
    Many Thanks,
    Madhu

    Hi Madhu, 
    It isn't possible (out of the box) to restore a production to a development site without the content. 
    If you're happy with restoring the content, it's quite easy to backup a SharePoint farm and then restore only a site (form the farm backup) to a development farm. 
    Have a look at these forum posts for more info (in the first link, I gave an example script):

  • How to Restore  a DP backup

    hi,
    i have backed up a SAP Database backup (SMB) using HP data protector.
    The backup was successful
    But, there is no way to restore that using the Data Protector
    Please let me know how to restore this SMB backup
    is it possible to restore using HP DP or do we have to use BRRESTORE option?
    thanks

    Hi,
    Please refer section Restoring Oracle Database of this useful document ["HP Data protector Integration Guide for Oracle and SAP"|http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00751982/c00751982.pdf] to get more detailed information.
    You can restore Oracle DB directly on the Database. The Oracle Agent installed at Oracle DB host will take the whole responsibilities of DB Restore or You can dump it to other location and you can manually Restore Oracle DB.

  • HT1414 is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?

         is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?

    Sure you can, as long as you still have the old backup.
    I have restored my iDevices (iPod Touches, iPads and iPhone) from backups a number of times. I've done this long after the devices were setup. Sometimes I restore from a backup because I have tweaked a setting and it screwed something up on my device so I restored from a backup in order to restore the previous "non-tweaked" setting back to the device.

    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
