As we both are working on same topic so we made database in both laptop say A and B.
Now when i first make a backup of database from my laptop (say A) and want to restore the same in my friend's laptop (say B),i got the Error message.
The same case occur with the database made in laptop B,and wouldn't restoring in System A.
Can anyone have a solution of this problem.
Currently we both have same Server type i.e. Database Engine.

what is the errormessage?
after restoring a databse also set the user again to the db. Better get 1 server to which you both can connect!

Solution 1

Be Sure that

* you don't have any other database with same name.
* Your database's name to which you want to restore should be input-ed in, To Database Field

As per your Suggested Link I got the Error
Restore failed for Server 'RAJESHKUMARGUPT'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError:Cannot open backup device 'H:\all'.Operating system error 2(The System Cannot find the path specified(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I don't understand why this happens.
It looks like you have selected a bak file that doesn't exist, but the source selection is guided in the restore procedure.

Hey have you tried this one
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup
paste your .bak file here in that location and then now run the restore process .. let me know if it is successive or not......
