It allows users to manage their data by fetching needful data from the database and reuploading them when needed again. For more data backup, you can save the MS SQL database data into a single file on your computer, and these backup files have names ending with the &#8220;. bak&#8221; file extension. In addition, you can also restore database data from the BAK files.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all. Now, we move on to the solution part that helps users import Backup BAK files in SQL Server.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"02_Possible_Ways_to_Import_BAK_File_into_SQL_Server\"><\/span>02 Possible Ways to Import BAK File into SQL Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In this segment, we will describe two simple and effective ways for importing BAK files in SQL Server 2019, 2017, and 2016 and the versions below. Moreover, you must perform the following steps correctly to complete the process successfully.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Import_BAK_File_in_SQL_Server_Using_SSMS\"><\/span>Method 1: Import BAK File in SQL Server Using SSMS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Using the SQL Server Management Studio, you can import BAK files in SQL Server. Follow the steps below correctly:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start SQL Server Management Studio and get connected with the SQL Server Database Engine.<\/li>\n<li>Now, right-click on Databases and select Restore Database.<\/li>\n<li>In the Restore Database wizard, select From Device button and click the \u2026. box.<\/li>\n<li>In the Specify Backup wizard, click the Add button.<\/li>\n<li>Here, select the database backup folder and choose the .bak file.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Select; the backup sets to restore, check in the Restore Box and click the OK button.<\/li>\n<li>Soon all your BAK files data is imported into SQL Server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The above methods will help you import BAK files into SQL Server, but not when the BAK file is corrupted or damaged. The SQL Server Management Studio does not support the corrupt BAK, and it will not help you import those files into Microsoft SQL Server.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Import_BAK_File_to_MS_SQL_Server_Database_Which_Got_Corrupted\"><\/span>Method 2: Import BAK File to MS SQL Server Database, Which Got Corrupted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Once you have a backup of the SQL Server database in the .bak file that may get corrupted or damaged, there is no manual recovery method.
