Hi!, Im trying to move samba from my personal computer to the restaurant computer, so I backed up database and then I tried to restore from zip on restaurant computer, but i get this error:
Im using sql express 2014, any idea? thanks in advance
Do you have all the tick boxes selected in the backup settings tab?
yes, including the last: “Enable alternative restoration method”
It will work fine on next update but if you don’t want to wait you can try this solution.
Navigate to Local Settings > Database Connection, click Edit Connection button and change Database Name to a name other than SambaPOS5. For example change it to SambaPOSNew, click Apply button to let it create a new database and restore your backup.
Alternatively restoring a database can also be done using SQL Management tool.
Once you’re the server, you can right click, and go to tasks, and go to restore backup.
You must keep in mind however you do restore the database however, SQL Express have to be the exact same versions on each machine you restore it to, otherwise there will be an error stating the database comes from a version different to the current one installed, please install the same version and try again(type of message)
Thats the trick!, thank you very much @emre!!!
Thanks for your help @Shivan
