I decided to backup database1 from server1 and restore the bak file to database2 from server2(initially there is database1 at server1 and database2 at server 2 with sufficient permissions)
When I tried restoring at server2, I found out that I had to reassign the database users permissions(why is that so?) as my application is using users to connect to remote database.(from server 1 to 2 and vice versa)
I cant use the import/export wizard as it takes too long for me to export data over the network connection.
Does the database after restore retain database permissions?
I want to just restore the data and not overwrite the database permissions
