[sql-server] Opening a SQL Server .bak file (Not restoring!)

Just to add my TSQL-scripted solution:

First of all; add a new database named backup_lookup. Then just run this script, inserting your own databases' root path and backup filepath

USE [master]
GO
RESTORE DATABASE backup_lookup
 FROM DISK = 'C:\backup.bak'
WITH REPLACE,
 MOVE 'Old Database Name' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\backup_lookup.mdf',
 MOVE 'Old Database Name_log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\backup_lookup_log.ldf'
GO
