SQL - How to backup a database and export as a MDF file with MS SQL 2008 R2

Question

I have created a database \"test\" with some tables in MS SQL Server 2008 R2 (i.e. MS SQL Server Management Studio).

Now, I need to export this database as a MDF file.

Answer 1

I think the best way is to create a .bak file from SQL Server .

Right click on the database => Task => Back Up -> Choose the database in Source , and hit OK .
