MsSql express export from local pc to RDS, how to transfer NDF/LDF files? First time mssql admin here. Never worked with mssql before I might asked question improperly.
Couldn't find any posts mentioning ndf/ldf files import to AWS RDS mssql database.
Is data from these files included in mssql backup or we need to import NDF/LDF files separately?
We are using latest Express db.
convention is that ndf is used for the 2nd &amp; subsequent data file &amp; ldf for the transaction log file - so YES these are included in your database backup. Also worth noting that these are just conventions and you can give the files any extension you like.
