Files and FileGroups Restore Dependency Checklist-MSSQLSvrWSPW
A Files and FileGroups Restore restores and recovers selected files and
FileGroups. You can restore Files and FileGroups from a Files and FileGroups,
Partial, or Database backup.
A Files and FileGroups restore, like a Differential or Log restore, can only be
applied to either the original database from which it was backed up, or to a copy
that has never left the loading or standby state. A Mirror database qualifies as
either a standby copy or the original database for this purpose.
Sequence is important when performing a Files and FileGroups restore.
