Convert an archive with multiple backup sets

To convert an archive that contains the northwind database as the second backup set in the archive, type the following command at the command prompt:

SafeToSQL "d:\sqlsafe_backup\LT1_multi_01.safe" -backupset 2

The output path and name of the converted file is:

d:\sqlsafe_backup\LT1_multi_01_2.bak

To list the contents of the archive, type the following command at the command prompt:

SafeToSQL "d:\sqlsafe_backup\LT1_multi_01.safe" –list

Convert an archive saved across multiple files

To convert an archive saved in the directory in two files, type the following command at the command prompt:

SafeToSQL "d:\sqlsafe_backup\pubs_a.safe" –backupfile "d:\sqlsafe_backup\pubs_b.safe"

The output path and names of the converted files are:
