title: How to copy a SQL 2005 database to another computer?
body: <p>I'm trying to rebuild a web server in a virtual pc. Installed required software and Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I've had full backups of my databases but it is not possible to restore from those backups in this new installation. By the way, backups are fine, i can restore from them on original server.</p>
  
  <p>In summary, how can I copy whole database to another computer? How can I backup a database and restore is fully on another computer?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  Burak</p>
  
  <p>PS: The database I'm trying to restore is called "Some_db" and it does not exist on new server. I also tried to create a new one with defaults and restore on it but that gave an error on new db. I don't know any details of the database. </p>
