Hi All,

Is it possible to take Backup of SQL Server Compact database (i.e. *.sdf) and Restore the same.

Regards.

Thank you for your reply.

One more doubt we have, that is can we restore backup file taken by SQL Server (i.e.*.bak) to SQL Server Compact database or convert .bak file to .sdf file in any way? or any tools available for such activities?

Regards
