When I try to restore my .bak file, a SQL Server 2008 database file from my production server, to my local SQL Server 2012 Express server, I get the following screenshot:

enter image description here

Where I see No backupset selected to be restored and an empty dropdown under Database, see the areas marked in red. As you can see, the OK button is greyed out and I can't select a database. So I'm not even getting errors, I can't start the restore entirely.

What can I do?

  • How **big** (in GB) is your database? The Express editions are limited in database size - the 2012 version supports a max size of 10 GB. – marc_s Mar 12 '14 at 19:32
  • It's about 1GB. ps I see someone voted to close this question...can I see somewhere what the reason for that would be? – Adam Mar 12 '14 at 20:35
