If a database is missing on the target server, use the Create DB option to create the database shell on that server using the same database size and ANSI options as the source server. (No data is transferred.) Scroll down the validation report, select the missing database, and then click Create DB.
You can specify the location for each of the database files on the New Database window.
Name. The logical file name for the database.
File Group. The file group to which the database file belongs.
File Path. The physical path to the database file.
To specify an absolute path for the database file, type the path and click Set.
Click Create Database on Target to start the database creation on the target server.
Click Close to close the dialog with making any changes.
NOTE:
The minimum size for a SQL Server 2005 or 2008 database is 2 MB. If you are creating a database shell for a SQL Server 2000 database that will be migrated to SQL Server 2005 or 2008, the operation will fail if the SQL Server 2000 database is less than 2 MB.
Backup and Restore Databases window
This window is used to back up the source databases and restore them on the target server.
