Backup Encryption 101
Nov 21, 2014
Any simple summary of the new backup encryption? I've found a small handful of articles, but apparently I have some sort of mental block where keys and certs are involved.I'm trying to determine if this is a viable replacement (for our purposes) for SQL Backup, which we started using primarily for the compression and encryption. We don't have issues with SQL Backup, I'd rather not install additional utilities for native functionality.
What I can't seem to understand is how one goes about restoring an encrypted backup onto another server. When one restores the master key onto the destination server, what happens to the existing key on that server?
Right now, we have backups off-site in third-party storage, and all we need to restore is the .sqb and the password (and the SQB converter). With native encryption, we need the .bak, the keys, the cert, and the password?

Hello!
I started Configure Report Server (2005) and have executed backup of the encryption key.
Problem occurred on restore of the encryption key as following error (I have provided correct backup snk):
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.39'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.RestoreEncryptionKey(Byte[] encryptedBytes, String password)
ReportingServer sites stop working with similar error (browsing by IE):
The found version is 'C.0.8.39'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
ReportingServer services are all locked by this.
Can you please tell how to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much!

I'm trying to backup the Encryption Key for the Reporting Services. After I insert the password / location key file and click Ok, I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried with diferents passwords but none of them is ok. I don't have any rule on local windows password policy!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I just installed Reporting Services (2005) in a "distributed installation" mode. That is, I have sql server 2005 on a separate server. I installed the Report Server on its own server where I already had IIS running.
That all seemed to go well and I didn't get any errors or anything. After the install process was done, I ran the RS Configuration Manager tool. Since "Install but do not configure" option was automatically selected for me, I started working through all the pages from top to bottom. Again everything worked, and I have green checkboxes next to all of the nodes in the left except...
When I get to the Encryption Keys page, it has a blue exclamation icon next to its icon in the left pane. On the page itself, the Backup and Change buttons are disabled, greyed out.
And, the next item down, Initialization, is shown with a greyed out "x" icon. It's not red, but greyed out.
So, I'm not sure what this all means, but I'm guess it means that I don't have RS set up yet...! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all - I have an installation of SQL Server 2K5 Express with Reporting Services on an XP Pro SP2 PC. It has been running for about 6 months now. Within the 1st month, I had to restore the Encryption Key (the Report Manager failed to function properly).
All had been well until last week, when I had to restore the encryption key (for the same reason). After restoring the encryption key, the Report Manager immediately started to work again.
It happened again today, so I had to once again restore the encryption key. Can anyone offer any ideas as to why/how this would happen?
Thanks!

I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks
Jane

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if it is possible to encrypt a particular field in a table, or encrypt a whole table. The info would remain on my database and not be sent out anywhere, but I just want an extra level of security against anyone who might try to break into the database.

Hello,
I am needing to migrate an Access database to Sql Server
Express. This database will be distributed as part of a
VB 6 application. This database will have some of the
columns encrypted. My understanding is that SQL Server
Express supports encryption. We will need to be able to
run queries on encrypted data like this, with
LastName being an encrypted column in the database.
Select LastName from Account where LastName = 'Smith'
Select LastName from Account where LastName Like 'Sm%'
Update Account Set where LastName = sLastName
Can this be done using SQL Server 2005 Express and VB 6?
Thanks!

I am using server 2005 running on a windows server 2003 platform. I am trying to do field encryption using symmetric key implemented by the AES algorithm. I created an AES key and apparently it encrypts the data with no problem, however when I try to retrieve the data after decryption the field is always null. I tried using the same process while using the DES or RC2 algorithm and I could both encrypt and decrypt information, however it does not decrypt for any of the AES algorithm i.e. AES_128, AES_192 and AES_256. Attached is a simple query I used to test it.
create symmetric key CCardKeys
with algorithm = aes_192
encryption by password = 'P@s$w0rD'
open symmetric key CCardKeys
decryption by password = 'P@s$w0rD'
declare @Id varchar(50)
set @Id = encryptbykey(key_guid('CCardKeys'),'Test')
select convert(varchar(50),decryptbykey(@Id))
close symmetric key CCardKeys
Is there something I'm missing with AES.
Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Here is my goal please let me know if it is possible.
I have installed sql express on clients machines. I don't want them to be able to view the sp's or the functions. I would like to go as far as not allowing them to see the tables. I tried with encrption but this is still breakable by the user using the DAC.

I have a user table with Fields:
UID, name, SSN, phone,address. I need to encrypt all the fields except UID. My company recently moved to sql server 2005 and I have to encrypt old data. We do perform query search based on username and SSN
I have very shallow knowledge of encryption and indexes. I did looked at one of the articles on encrypting data on existing application but could not understand the indexing part(:()
Do i have to define new fields with varbinary as datatype(for ssn, name,phone number) ? I am asking this because in the demo only ssn_index has varbinary and the ssn field is still nvarchar?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
K

On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?

SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.

Hi,
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Thanks in advance

Using Ola Hallengren's scripts I do a full backup of a database on a Sunday. Then differential backups every 6 hours and log backups every hour. I would like to keep a full week of backups based off the full backup done on Sunday. Is there a way for me to clear out the diff and log folders after the successful full backup on Sunday nights?

Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
