Here, we have mentioned the prominent ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You want to<strong> upgrade your SQL Server to the latest version<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You want to <strong>transfer your SQL Server database to cloud <\/strong>for easier accessibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Migrating data to new server<strong> helps avoid potential corruption issues<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An upgraeded SQL Server environment <strong>aids with data flexibility among multiple users<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So these are the top four reasons why database administrators want to migrate SQL database to new server. Now that we are clear on the reasons, let us move on to the solutions and see which one better caters to your migration requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup_SQL_Database_and_Restore_Using_SSMS\"><\/span><strong>Backup SQL Database and Restore Using SSMS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As suggested in the heading, this procedure is divided into two parts. The first part includes taking backup of the server data. Moving further, in the second part of the process, we explain restoring the backed up data in the new system\/server. Let\u2019s checkout the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part_1_Backing_up_SQL_Server_Database\"><\/span><strong>Part 1: Backing up SQL Server Database<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start SSMS<\/strong> (SQL Server Management Studio).

Let us move and check out the next manual solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Copy_Wizard_to_Copy_SQL_Server_Database\"><\/span><strong>Use Copy Wizard to Copy SQL Server Database<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and click <strong>Object Explorer<\/strong>.
