ApexSQL Restore attaches both native and natively compressed SQL database and transaction log backups as live databases, accessible via SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio or any third party tool. It allows attaching single or multiple backup files including full, differential and transaction log backups as well as mounting backup sets to a specific point in time, making it ideal for quickly reverting inadvertent or malicious changes
