Hi experts,
I have a backup database (.bak) which was taken from one machine which consists of sql version 2012. This server was inactive from past 2 years. We are trying to restore this backup file in the new machine (server) but the verification is failed. I tried to test the backup file whether it is healthy or not by "restore filelistonly", "restore headeronly" etc; i am getting an error 13, it seems my backup file got corrupted. If I want to take a new backup, that server is no more. Is there any way to get rid of this backup database to be worked?
Moreover, I have tried some of the 3rd party tools such as Sql backup recovery, stellar phoenix sql database repair, etc but no use. It is prompting on which sql version that the backup has taken. I selected 2012 for all softwares and tested accordingly, but no use.
Please help how to get rid of this db backup file?
