Hi,Everyone: I have a file with sqb extension(e.g: clark.sqb),how should i to restore database using the sqb file.thanks!

A: 

Assuming someone just randomly chose that file extension for a standard SQL backup, you'd use it like this...

restore database MyDb from disk='C:\clark.sqb'

I think that's a Red Gate SQLBackup file - have a look here for more information. You should be able to download a trial to try the restore.

Good luck!

A: 

SQB files are created using RedGate's SQL Backup Tool. They supply a command line tool called sqb2mtf that can be used to convert to a native SQL backup that can then be easily restored.
