Backing Up A Database From MS SQL 2000 Server
Nov 1, 2004
My client is changing hosting providers. We are trying to download a full backup of our MS SQL 2000 database from the old host. We can get all of the data using the Data transfer wizard in Enterprise manager. We can get all data and structure using the Data Transfer wizard with other options. However, when we do this, all of our tables get renamed with a prefix that is our username from the old host.
So, if we have a table named customers and our MSSQL login on the old host is userA, then our table gets renamed to tableA.customers.
This won't work with our applications and stored procedures. Changing tens of thousands of lines of code is not acceptable.
Does anyone know a way we can get a full copy of the database (rules, data, structure, keys, identies, etc) without having the username prefix?
Thanks for the help!

Hi
I am getting an error while backing up a particular database named "asset" . The error says ........
Server: Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
The media set for database 'Asset' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I have created two backup devices for this database ("asset") through enterprise manager.
AssetDMP
AssetLogDMP
I have total 9 databases out of which only this database throws error. All other database backups going fine.
Here is the query that I am using to backup the database and Log.
USE master
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysdatabases WHERE name = 'Asset')
BACKUP DATABASE Asset TO AssetDMP WITH NOUNLOAD, STATS=10, INIT, SKIP
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysdatabases WHERE name = 'Asset')
BACKUP LOG Asset TO AssetLogDMP WITH NOUNLOAD, STATS=10, INIT, SKIP
Please Help
Thank You / Ssg

Dear sir/madam,
I am from NTU, Singapore and we have a windows 2003 server edition installed on a DELL server and it also runs MS SQL server 2000 for a project of ours. We have installed a HP tape drive on the dell server and it works fine if ntbackup is used at the command prompt but then the SQL enterprise manager does not recognize the tape drive and backing up of our database is of high priority as it contains sensitive information. But the tape drive is installed properly as the device manager does not show any error and ntbackup also recognizes it. I cant seem to figure out why SQL server 2000 cannot recognize it. It would be very helpful if you could kindly guide me on this issue.
Thanking you
Regards

Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?

When backing up a database in MS SQL 7.0, there is a window that appears in the destination section of the backup window. In this window is where the filename appears that the backup will proceed to and to the right of this window are "add", "remove" and "contents" buttons.
If there are multiple names in this window, will the entire backup go to both files or does it split the backup between the two filenames.

Hi, I am in a production database server. Data has been added and deleted via the web. So there is alot of traffice in and out of the database. How can I make a backup plan to make sure I am not lossing any input or deleted data . I am familiar with backing up a database in regular intervals, but I amnot sure if this is the best way in this senario.
How can I take advantage of the transaction log in restoring the database.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been using the backup feature of SQL Express for some time and I thought it would be good to test a restore in case the worst happend. I moved my bak files to a usb memory stick and copied them to a machine and installed SQL Express so its empty no database's etc. So I right click the databae folder and choose restore from device and point to the db's but I get errors restoring them. What am I doing wrong? Is their any guides that give steps to backup and restore database's ? Any help would be great - I can of course provide more information need be.
Thanks,
Adam.

Hello,
I found some code below that works fine when I run it in my vb.net code in Design mode. When I publish the application, run the app and then execute the sub MyDbBackup() I get the following error: Cannot open backup device 'C:dbBackup'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Here is the code that runs:
Public Sub MyDbBackup()
Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(MyConnectionStringdb)
sqlconn.Open()
Dim Backupcommand As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("BACKUP DATABASE [" & sqlconn.Database.ToString & "] TO DISK = 'c:myDataBaseBackup.bak'")
Backupcommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Backupcommand.Connection = sqlconn
Backupcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
sqlconn.Close()
End Sub
2 Questions: Why does it backup fine in design mode, but not after it is published? Also, in design mode, my database is called TAP_Master.mdf but when I look under C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData, I do not see that database name... all I see is master.mdf, model, msdbdata etc... Is that database stored anywhere else?
I have set the MyConnectionStringdb variable to = "Data Source =.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
Thanks in advance.

Hi There,
I want to know how to backup and restore database from VB.net. ie I am trying to put two buttons on my form, Backup and Restore. When I click on Backup a Backup of the SQL Database with extension of *.bak is created. Similarly when I click on restore and select a database with *.bak extension it should restore that database. I saw a software where it created a backup of Sql database with extension of .zip containing the bak file which is password protected. when u restore the database it automatically gets unzipped and the database is restored. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit

I am trying to backup and restore a 20GB SQL database from a SQL Server 2012 to another SQL Server 2014, but I have come across the following issues:
1) The developers [against best practice] have stored multiple images in fields within the database as binary code.
This therefore exceeds the 65532 character limit in some fields, so even though the images do show [based upon the data saved within this field], I cannot find the data in the field beyond this 65532 limit, within SQL Server.
How can I export / locate this data after the 65532 character limit?
2) When I have attempted to restore the database I am getting this error message:
Restore of database 'zapkam' failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTa sks)
Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (1:1592996) in database "zapkam" as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
I have managed to restore two other smaller databases using the same technique, but am wondering if it's an issue with the database itself.
3) I have uploaded this database to the new server using FileZilla FTP Client, but it has cut out, painfully at 80% + 90% on a couple of occasions.
Is there a better solution for uploading these big files that I could possibly use? For example, uploading table by table or similar...

I have an online SQL Server database provided by an ISP. I do not havepermission to create a backup device and I understand this is normalpractice.I am not using Enterprise Manager to administer the online database.I know I can back up the structure of the database using SQLscripts.My question is:How do I back up on my own machine the data contained in the onlinedatabase tables I have created? If I were using Enterprise Manager Icould do it by downloading tables using the DTS facility but how can Ido it without Enterprise Manager?Is there some work around which I have missed eg creating a csv fileof the data?Best wishes for 2005 to all those helpful people in this newsgroup!John Morgan

I am having a problem backing up my database and TLog files due to alack of local diskspace. The db file is about 30GB and the TLog isabout 20GB each on a different hard disk. Each disk doesn't haveenough available space to accomadate a backup. I also can't shrink thefiles because part of that procedure would require a backup.Question: Can I use a redirected drive for the backup media? Is therea way to trick SQL into allowing this? If the answer is no, doesanyone have a suggestion as to want I should do? I am in the processof requesting more disk space,but that could take a while.Thanks,

Hey, please forgive me if my infomation source was incorrect. But a friend of mine mentioned to me he had hurd of a program, or code that will make an "install script" of your database. Basically it`ll back up all the tables on your server and if the worst case senario happens then you can run the file like an install script. Is this true? It sounds invalueable! If it isnt true, can someone tell me if it is possible to use code to create a "install script" of your own database? I am using "Microsoft SQL Server".Thanks in advance John

Hi,
I've recently created a maintenance plan, which backs up my database and transaction log. However I also have a Veritas (Backup Exec for Windows Servers) tape backup which runs at night and backs up my files. It is setup to backup the whole of my MSSQL DATA and BACKUP folders.
Today I went to do a test restore, and found that the tape backup contained nothing in the MSSQL DATA folder, but everything that was in the BACKUP folder. Is this because everything in the DATA folder is in an open state? On checking back, the tape backup has never held anything in the DATA folder. Should I be worried by this, or is it what you would expect, and is the SQL backup sufficient?
Thanks for any advice

hi, I have total 45 GB of data in the following servers ( 40 GB in sql server 6.5, 5GB in ftp server). both servers are in one machine(server). I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing for backup. The machine is not connected to a Lan. What is the best way to insure that my data are backed up safely?
what I am thinking of doing is to back up the database to using sql tools in the menu bar, that will backup the data to the same machine in this directory:
c:mssqlackupDBname.DAT
I will do this for all database in the sql server. Am I save to do this... I am wondering what IF the machine in which both severs are in crashed. My backup effort will be lost too. right. so what is the best way to protect my data. Do I need to buy a tape backup so I can do what I am doing Plus back up the c:mssqlackupDBname.DAT to the tape backup... I would really appreciate any suggestion in choosing any media (software/ hardware)to back up my data.
Thanks

I am just getting started with MS SQL and am having to learn from scratch. I have a DB running with an ISP which I need to back up to one of my local machines. I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 and also MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. Using this, I have opened a new DB on the local machine and then accessed the DB on the remote server. If I then right click on the remote DB file and select TasksBackup, I see the backup options screen. The problem is that the destination for the backup is automatically set to a folder on the remote server and I cannot figure out how to change this so that I can download to the local machine. If I click on the 'Add' button to create a new backup path, it will only offer me a view of the remote machine, not the local file structure.
The solution is probably pretty simple, but after several hours of experimentation and searching for solutions, I still can't come up with the answer. Can anyone offer some guidance please (in idiot language - I'm new to this).

Hi I am trying to make a backup of my SQL server 2005, used with Web Developer 2005 Express, in osql.exe (can't find any other way of doing it). I get the error that "under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections".I connect to it fine from the Web Developer 2005 and my application . I followed another post's instructions where I enabled the TCP/IP and named pipes for "Protocols for SQLEXPRESS", but didn't work. In fact when I changed TCP/IP properties/ IP Addresses/TCP Dynamic port to nothing , and TCP Port to 1357, the server wouldn't start again !! (not doin THAT again)Regards Amanda

Hi,
We're running SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399.06, RTM, Standard Edition (64-bit)). A couple of times each day, all connections to the server will fail, and this behavior coincides with backup activity. What tends to happen is that after performing flawlessly for hours, SQL Server will start rejecting all connections. Over the course of the next 30 seconds or so, several hundred instances of the following error message will appear in the Application event log:
"SQL Server failed with error code 0xc0000000 to spawn a thread to process a new login or connection. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems." Source: MSSQLSERVER, Category 4, Event ID 17189.
Immediately following these Error entries are Information entries that indicate some backup activity has been performed:
"Database differential changes were backed up. Database: [lots of db-specific details] ..." Source: MSSQLSERVER, Category 6, Event ID 18270.
As soon as the backups are completed, everything returns to normal and connections are once again accepted. The entire cycle takes less than a minute. Obviously, something is causing SQL Server to lock up and reject connections while it's backing up. Is there a setting that controls this, or does this behavior point to an overloaded machine?
We don't seem to be having any other performance problems at all, and there are no other Errors in the Application event log from SQL Server. If I perform a manual backup, I don't get any dropped or refused connections, even if I do it during peak query hours. So I'm stumped as to why the machine is locking up in this manner. Unfortunately there's no info in the EEMC about event ID 17189.
TIA
Shaun

I have my SQL7 server running on NT4 server. Currently the transaction log backups are on the same server but I want to back these up to a Win2000
server in another building. When creating a Backup Device in Enterprise Manager on the NT server it cannot see the drive but not the folder I have created on the Win2000 server, even though I have shared this folder out and set the permissions. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

Hi,
There alot of talk about Service Master and DB Master keys and the importance of backing them up seperately.
What about the DPAPI keys used to protect the Service Master keys. What procedures to I take to back those up during my database backup.
If I understand correctly, if I do a backup on one machine, and then try to restore in a different machine, I won't be able to decrypt data becuase the DPAPI keys don't "match".
This is assumming I don't use a password to protect my DB Master keys, I just rely on the service master to protect them.
Thanks for any help,

Hi,
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on.
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
Any thoughts on what might cause this to happen and how to fix it?
Help much appriciated.
Thanks Helen
