the same location or (more commonly) be split between multiple server locations resulting in multiple rows.
7. Enter a new name in the New Database Name field.
A database must be relocated to be renamed.
8. Enter a new path in the New Path column of each appearing row.
The new path cannot be the same as the current path and must be able to be created on the target system.
When adding a new path, the complete path (drive letter and all subdirectories) must be entered. For example, if the new
path is the SQL2 directory on the I: drive, then I:\SQL2 is entered. If the new path is the SQL2\Data directory on the I:
drive, then I:\SQL2\Data is entered.
9. Click OK.
10. The Restore Snapshot dialog box now displays the new database name.
● The name or path can be changed by clicking
