Hello all,
I know this has been discussed in here several times. I did look up on few posts, but am still not clear 
I am on Win08 R2. I have an online backup from production (its a BAK file), online sql server backup, and I want to create a new system with new SID.
I want to know the best option to build this new system using this backup.
My understanding (steps) - please correct me if wrong.
1) install SQL Server 2008?
2) Goto SQL Management studio, restore database?
3) SAPINST or SW provisioning manager > system lifecycle options> system copy (hopefully I have an option here which asks me for the backup I have.
Is this correct?
If its not, please advise..
