I was just sent a series of SQL backups. Two of the restores failed because these two databases have filestream data. Is there any way to restore these databases but exclude the filestream data? Do I need to add filestream to my existing SQL instance to restore these two databases? If I do that is there a way I can perform a backup and exclude the filestream data?
