How to restore Site Collection, Site or list from Unattached Content database in Sharepoint 2010?

SharePoint 2010 offers some new backup and restore features for content data. Almost anything can be backed up and restored, from the whole farm to site collections, services, and search indexes. In this article, we will take a look at how to perform recovery from an unattached content database.

Challenge:
How can I restore a single item or list from a SharePoint backup?
In SharePoint 2007, employing the SQL database backup is a popular method for backing up SharePoint content. It is easier to manage, and requires less administrative work than the out-of-the-box SharePoint backup/restore feature. However, if we just want to recover a single site, list, or document, the process is quite painful and inefficient in SharePoint 2007. We would need to recover the entire farm before we could get to the individual file.

Solution:
SharePoint 2010 provides a new feature called Unattached Content Database Recovery. Using this method, we can browse the SQL database backup and select just the content we want to recover. For full detailed steps with screenshots refer below link:
