Hi, i'm facing an issue with sql server 2017 express.
when restoring a database from a path that contains a folder starting with a dot, sql server states that it cannot find the file.
this path works:
E:\Gitlab\Runner\builds\484fdf65\0\ci\db.bak
but this path could not find the file:
E:\Gitlab\Runner\builds\484fdf65\0\.ci\db.bak
it's not a permission issue, the folder it's the same (renamed).
the exact message is:
Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.)
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (RTM) - 14.0.1000.169 (X64) express on windows server 2012 R2
is this a bug/limitation?
