Migrating Databases using Backup and Restore

In this blog post we will describe how to migrate a SQLServer Database between different SQL Instances using the Backup and Restore procedure. The main advantage from migrating databases this way, is that it is less error prone than other procedures. I would recommend using this method on very static databases or databases where you can afford a longer downtime. A disadvantage would be that there needs to be a downtime when migrating this database, so if a requirement is that downtime must be zero, we would recommend using an other migrating procedure.
