>>I need to "move" a bunch of databases from one computer to another. I have created backup of all databases to an external drive. That is, the external drive now has several .BAK files. Do I need to create the databases on the target computer before I can restore from the .BAK files? Or can I restore and create database from .BAK in one step?
