• MDF is for SQL Server Master Database File • NDF is for SQL Server Secondary Data File • LDF is for SQL Server Transaction Log File Recovery for SQL Server requires MDF file to recover database, backup and log. If you don’t have an MDF, there’s no way to restore your data. In case you have an NDF, please, place it in the same directory as MDF before processing with data recovery: Recovery for SQL Server will use it to improve the quality of recovery as much as possible. LDF file is not necessary at all.
