Step 1: Find copies of system tables

Find copies of the system tables that you have saved to a file: sysdatabases, sysdevices, sysusages, sysloginroles, and syslogins. You can use these to guarantee that your system has been fully restored at the completion of this process.

For information on preparing for disaster recovery by making copies of the system tables to a file, see “Backing up master and keeping copies of system tables”.
