Question
I use C#, .net 4, Entity Framework and SQL Server 2008 R2 in a project.
I have no familiarity with backup and restore from database by Entity Framework. Please help me to write restore and backup code in Entity Framework
Popular Answer
Entity Framework is an ORM - object-relational mapper - designed to handle interactions with single entities and/or short lists of entities. It's neither designed for bulk operations, nor is it a server admin framework. So no - I don't think you can do this using Entity Framework - that's not its job.
Use an appropriate tool for the job! Either use SQL Server Management Studio to handle backup/restore - or if you must do it programmatically, use the SMO (Server Management Objects) which is intended for exactly these kinds of jobs
