There are several methods for backing up and restoring table data in SQL Server.

  1. In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), you can generate a script for creating and inserting data into tables by right-clicking on the table and selecting “Generate script”. Then, you can run this script in a new database to restore the table data.
  2. You can utilize the export/import feature of SQL Server to backup and restore table data. In SSMS, simply right-click on the table you want to export, select “Tasks” -> “Export Data,” then follow the wizard to choose the table and destination file for export. For restoring data, use the import data wizard and select the exported file and target table to complete the restoration process.
  3. The bcp command-line tool provided with SQL Server can be used to import and export data. You can export table data to a file using the bcp command, and then import the data from the file into a target table using the bcp command.
  4. By utilizing SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), you can take advantage of its powerful Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) capabilities for integrating data in SQL Server. SSIS can be used to backup and restore table data by creating data flow tasks to import data from source tables into target tables.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, the specific choice of method should be based on actual needs and environment.
