SQL Server 2000 - Recover Database using only File System Backup

1 New Member
Hi!

Just recently OS (Windows 2003 Server) of our server crashed and needed to be re-installed. Unfortunately, we we not able to create a backup of the databases using the ENTERPRISE MANAGER. HOwever, we have managed to backup the file system of the server (Drives C, D and E)

Is there a way that I can recover the databases using only the file system backup? What steps should i take? Hope you will be able to answer my query ASAP.

Thanks alot!

You may be able to restore from the MDF and LDF files, by creating a new database, and replacing those files. There may be a simpler solution, and I do not know if this method will even work.
