I am trying to back up database to a different server. I am able to map the serve to my current ones, however, when I go to Enterprise Manager - back up DB, I can not see the mapped drive from back up file location, I wasn't able to see any other disk location but the local drives.
Can somebody tell me how can I back up database to a different server from Enterprise Manager or any syntax?
Thanks.
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?
I need to back up a production database on one server and then copy it to a test server wherel it will be restored. The problem is that I don't know where to move the file to on the production server before I restore it. Is there a special folder I need to copy the file to? I see a folder named ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server but beyond that I have no idea where to copy the file so that it can be restored?
Can someone help me out please?
Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

Hi All,Would someone give me an explanation on how SQL 2000 server backs up auser database? Is SQL server make a copy of user database first, andthen backup it up to a defined backup device? Or is it going straightto the defined backup device.Thanks,Bob.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message. "Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
What can I do to restore the database? Must it be backed up with SQL server 2000 and then restored with SQL Server 2005?
Please help!
I am having a bit of a mare on the database backup front - i.e. monster
DB, not a great deal of space to back it up into.
As I do the backup, the file on the disk seems to stay at 2KB
How does the file get written? Is there a temp somewhere first?
Cheers in advance - Dave
If you take a database offline to prevent users from accessing it, and then restart the server, will the database be back online when the server starts up?
If so, is there an option to prevent this from happening so that a database taken offline will remain offline until it is manually put online again by an administrator?
Hello guys
My server crashed but luckily I was not able to get back my files with help of recovery software.
Now, all I have from the database are just sql server database primary data .mdf and sql server databaseTransaction Log Files .ldf. I need to restore these data back to sql server.
Please could someone tell me how to restore these two file types back to my sql sever 2007 database?

I have SQL Server 2008 R2 database mirroring setup with witness. Below database connection string is used by the application
Â
jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER
Â
During some maintenance activity at the OS side , I tried to manually failover database from Server_A to Server_B. It took long time for failover to Server_B. While failing over the Mirrored_DB database goes in In Recovery status and application is not able to connect to database. I waited for long time more than 40 mins for database to come online on Server_B but it did not work.So I have recovered database on Server_B using RESTORE DATABASE Mirrored_DB WITH RECOVERY.
Â
After database was recovered on Server_B application was not able to connect to database with error as "The database <Mirrored_DB> on server Server_BMSSQLSERVER is not configured for database mirroring".
Â
My Question is
Why manual failover did not get back database on secondary server upwhy the original  connection string below is not able to connect to the database while database is online on Server_B  but without mirroring
 jdbc:sqlserver://<Server_A>MSSQLSERVER;databaseName=<Mirrored_DB>;port=1433;failoverPartner=<Server_B>MSSQLSERVER
Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if we could back up the databases to any place outside of the local server system? As I found, we can only back up the database to the local server system, so we have needs to share databases on network places. Is there any method to back up the database on network place rather than first of all I have to back up the database on a local server system, then copy it to the network place, that just sounds really inconvenient.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with a Maintenance Plan created for SQL Server 2005 using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. See version information at the bottom of this post.
I have a Maintenance Plan using the "Back Up Database Task" that is set to perform a "Full" back up of "All Databases" on the local server. However, it appears that the list of "All databases" are hard-coded to be those databases that were available at the time the task was created. It seems any newly created databases don't appear to be in the list. If I attempt to edit the task and select the "These databases:" option, the newly created databases aren't even in the list.
Is there some way to have the task refresh the list of the databases available for backup? Ideally, I'd like any newly created databases to get backed up automatically without having to modify the task.
Thanks for your help,
Jonathan.

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick

I had to transfer my database from one server to another. Both are running SQL 2000. I backed the database up and moved it to the new server however when I try to do a restore I get the following message:
The media set for database "xxx' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I did some searching and found a couple of posts that mentioned something about the back up including 2 files.
My problem is that the machine I backed this up from crashed when it was shut down and would not reboot so all of the data and the original database do not exist. Is there any hope of restoring this database. It is pretty critical.
Thanks,
Melissa :-)
