Figure 9 Create Smart Copy Window
Choose the Smart Copy type and the behavior based on the planned usage of the Smart Copy (database
restore, test DB, development, or another use).
Note: For databases sharing the same volume, the Missing Components or Volumes window is shown
(Figure 10). Torn Smart Copies mean that there were additional object components (database files) on
the volume you selected for the Smart Copy. When you restore from a torn Smart Copy, you must do a
selective restore to avoid damaging other databases with files on the same volume(s). There is no harm
in the torn Smart Copies and they will not affect any databases during the restore process other than the
database chosen for the Smart Copy. For more information see Restoring SQL Server Databases with
Smart Copies later in this document.
