From everything I'm reading, I shouldn't be getting this error in 2005: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3205)
I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 (Express) on same dev box, have loaded SP 4 for 2000, I'm trying to restore this in 2005.
Why am I still getting this error?
Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks.

I am trying to restore a database backed up using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to a server using MSDE. I get an error 3205 "Too many backup devices specified...64 max..."
can anyone explain me how can i make a DB backup in sql express 2005 ? The sql express instance and my web aplication are running on the same server. I need a script for directly execute it (and if possible also to restore the DB ) from my web aplication.
other question: any idea how can i tell to sql express to do the backup automatically every day?
I have a database backup from Server Express 2005 that I want to restore to SQL Server 2000. I keep getting an error message saying it was created a newer version and wont work. Is there a workaround to this.
I am moving my data base from one computer to a new one. I placed the .bak file in the backup folder on the new computer (Windows Vista). I keep getting these errors I have checked the security settings and my user account has full privledges. I added my windows login to the SQL Administrators as well.

Hi i have an web app demo that allows users to add info and change attributes within a SQL 2005 Express DB. I'd like to restore a clean copy of this database every couple of hours from a .bak file using a Windows scheduled task on the server. Has anyone got a .sql script for database restoration that i could use and call using a .cmd script file? Thanks.
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
every time I try to verify the backup file I get the error:
backup set on file '1' is not valid (translated from italian).
this is my backup script:
BACKUP DATABASE [ahr_sistema] TO DISK = N'C:ProgrammiMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupahr_sistemaahr_sistema_backup_1.bak' WITH FORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'ahr_sistema-Completo Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
declare @backupSetId as int
select @backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'ahr_sistema' and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'ahr_sistema' )
if @backupSetId is null begin raiserror(N'Verifica non riuscita. Impossibile trovare le informazioni di backup per il database ''ahr_sistema''.', 16, 1) end

I am trying to restore database from network drive but sql server 2005 express is giving error "system.data.sqlclient.sqlErroratabase <dbname> cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space (microsoft.sqlserver.express.smo)." But when I restore database from "C:" or local drive it alows to do so. Can anyone help.
I get an error dialog when I try to create a new SQL database, both via the Add New Item dialog and the property wizard of a new SqlDataSource control. The error is:
Local Database File:
User does not have permission to perform this action.
I've searched for help with this.
I ensured the App_Data folder exists and I added the local ASP.NET account to the group that have R/W access to it (although the RO flag is in an unchangeable tri-state on the folder). The SQL Server Express error log is clean and indicates full functionality. Everything is running locally. No VWD installation errors.

I am trying to restore a 2005 backup to a 2005 database on another server. This has worked for me before. I have tried to take the backup 5 times now and each time I get the error media family incorrectly formed. Since I have successfully backed up and restored before between these same two databases I do not understand what is wrong now.
I found other questions with this error; however, they were taking a 2000 backup to a 2005 database. I am using a backup of a 2005 database to a 2005 restore.

I am currenltly working on a scripted install of SQL 2005 Express SP2 with Cumulative update 5 and am experiencing some very frustrating problems.
I need to provide the ability to script the install and script the deinstall, both of which are fine. However..
When i try to uninstall SQL from the script (or manually from add/remove programs) i get the following error
The installer has encountered an unexpected error. The error code is 2709. The specified Component name ('SxSComp.42B34EA79EE84812AF478E608EA6C2F8') not found in Component table.
The error occurs when the SQL 2005 uninstaller attempts to uninstall the workstation components, the result is a partial uninstall of SQL 2005 which becomes very difficult to uninstall.
Would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide me.
