Guys, can you help me.  
I have server, which is working on production.  
I need to backup one database on this server, and restore this database on another server, and restorep process must not recycle other databases on server…  
Can somebody give me an advice?

Hi,

Can you provide some more information like what is the size of database and which storage engine you are using?
