In SQL Server 2008, I have a database which exceeds 10GB in size. I cleaned up the database and took a backup from it. Backup file size is 160MB.
Once I try to restore this backup file to SQL Server 2008 R2, an error popups.
I have already done this process earlier with same server-different database.
But that database size was smaller.
Please help me to restore database.

whenever I try to restore a database I got an error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE
failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed
your licensed limit of 10240 MB per database.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
because I am using SQL server express edition and the database size is more than 10GB.
I have the backup file only and I do not have access to reduce the data files
BTW data files are 20GBs.
is there a solution for this?

Is there a way to backup the SQL Server to an external hard drive daily (automatically) through a procedure (query)? I am using SQL Server 2014
Create a full SQL Server backup to disk :
BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks

As #marc_s said, SQL Server should have write permission on destination address.

I have a trial version of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on our test server that has expired. I would like to install a fresh copy of another Enterprise edition and attach the current db to the new one. I have done this locally by moving the mdf and ldf files to the new destination, then attaching the db through SSMS.
However the database on the test server is 700GB big and besides the mdf/ldf files there are 16 partitions (sql server database secondary data files). Will the same procedure apply in this case?
I am trying to restore a backup file to SQL Server 2008. I am getting the following message.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The database was backed up on a server
running version 10.50.1600. That version is incompatible with this
server, which is running version 10.00.1600. Either restore the
database on a server that supports the backup, or use a backup that is
compatible with this server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I need to transfer all data from the SQL server 2008 R2 backup file to SQL server 2008 database.
Can you please suggest me how to restore the .bak file.
Although SQL 2008 and SQL2008 R2 have similar(ish) names, a backup from SQL 2008R2 (where your .bak file was created) cannot be restored on a SQL 2008 instance (where you are trying to restore it.)
You could create a new backup using a third party tool like Redgate SQLBackup, or you could use the import/export wizard in SSMS to transfer the data, but R2 backups are not backward compatible unfortunately.
