  3. Find the file mybackup1 and store in a safe location. This is a standard SQL backup file and is normally located here: c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\mybackup1

  4. If Symphony is installed, the backup can be restored by running dbrestore <path to the backup>\mybackup1. For example:

  5. If Symphony is not installed, the backup can be restored by using SQL Server Management Studio Express, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
