SQL – How to backup a database and export as a MDF file with MS SQL 2008 R2

by

If you mean that you want to be able to attach the database on another server, then this is what you can do:

  1. detach the database (right click the database and click Detach)
  2. copy the mdf and ldf files to your backup location
  3. attach the database (right click Databases and click Attach)

This is the path where you will find MDF file: 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\
