We can install the enterprise manager, but cant get the maintenance plans to work. (fields stay empty and setting dont get saved)
I've searched a bit, but couldn't fix it.
No problem, i created a job, with 12 T-SQL commands, and the backups are working perfect.
Now we wanne backup with a history (we take a backup every 4 hours of the day), because now they always get overwritten.
So im trying to change my transactSQL to create dynamic files.
The code i'm using right now :
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
I've tried different things like
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00' + DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) + '.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
but nothing worked.
so basically I wanne be able to create dynamic filenames in the above command.
Hi,How to automate database backup (MSDE server v8.0)? Is some free toolwhich can help on this or can I use some stored procedure? Plan:Complete - 1 per weekDifferential - 1 per day--*Best regards,*Klaudiusz Bryja
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK' WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF', MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF', REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Hi.I am trying to automatically backup transaction log when error 9002happened. So i have created appropriate job and alert to catch this error.I have two instances of sql server under Windows 2000. One of them is fullSQL Server, another is msde.When transaction log is full in full SQL Server error 9002 severity 17state 2 is logged in sql server log and in Windows Application log. Myalert firing my job. All is fine.But when transaction log is full in MSDE error 9002 severity 17 state 6 islogged only in sql server log. It is not logged into Windows Applicationlog so my alert does not work.So here is my questions:1. Why MSDE does not log error into Windows Application log?2. Why error 9002 has severity 19 in sysmessages table but is generatedwith severity 17?3. Why state of error 9002 differs under sql server and msde?Thank you.--Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
We are trying to restore a database backup created o MSDE 2000 server to SQL Express 2005. The collation settings of both SQL Express and MSDE are the same: Turkish_CI_AS
The problem is that the log of restore operation has some warnings like:

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?
Hi all! How can i backup databases which are running in my MSDE 2000 & then how can i restore them with all the data, Yes i know that their is no visual tool for doing this in MSDE but can we do it with scripts, if Yes then how
I'm running a Scheduled Task to execute dbbackup.exe to backup a local MSDE Instance for Live Comm. Server. When I save it to the local drive it works fine but I'm trying to save the backup to a remote server. I can't seem to get it to work. The account being used has full access to the remote computer and backup folder share.
MSDE2000I have an application in which I am running a TSQL command of BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE DATABASE for the backup and restore commands for my application. For testing purposes, i did the following:1) Ran a BACKUP DATABASE command to a file named C:TEST.BAK.2) Deleted the database completely.3) Ran a RESTORE DATABASE on the same file (note, I did NOT recreate the database)Now I have the database back with all my data. What are the gotchas when doing a backup and restore using this method? I am not relying on transaction logs to restore to a certain point, the user can only restore back to their last backup (may be daily, weekly or monthly)TIA-- Tim Morrison
please help me, i need to know if i need to purchase a sql agent for veritas backup exec. i am using the sql msde version only, not the full scale version. any help would be great.
We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?
I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...
I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak' restore database. zy from disk = 'path and filename.bak' with replace, move..... move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott

I have a MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 9.0.2153 which manages my BizTalk Server 2006 Databases. The BizTalk server installer automatically creates a job named Backup BizTalk Server (BizTalkMgmtDb) which should back up the databases and transaction protocolls.
The SQL Server Agent runs under domain-administrator account which has full access to my backup directory D:ackups.
The job executes the following steps:
Step 1: BackupFull:
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_BackupAllFull_Schedule] 'd' /* Frequency */, 'BTS' /* Name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
Step 2: MarkAndBackupLog
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_MarkAll] 'BTS' /* Log mark name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
My challenges are:
1. The job doesn't back up my databases(D:Backups is empty after executing the job)
2. I get every time the following error in error protocol of the job:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 4214) BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 3013).
I have already switched the Databases from full to simple recovery mode and vica versa, it didn't help. Also, the above stored procedures doesn't include neither the TRUNCATE nor the LOG parameters for the logfiles so I wasn't able to solve this issue by adjusting these flags.
I am using sql server 2000 and windows server 2003 standard edition: My database backup job is failing due to lack of disk space. I am taking the backup onto E drive and the available free space on E drive is 6.85 GB and there are no other drives I can use for the database backups. The size of mdf file is 21 GB and that of ldf file is 4.2 GB. The transaction log back up job of that db ran fine. This database recovery model is Full and Auto shrink is not checked. There is one primary filegroup for the database. In this situation, I am thinking of the following option: 1. Backup the db and log files onto another network shared drive. If I want to still use the same server E drive to backup the db and log files instead of using another network shared drives. how can I do that. Please let me know the best way of handling this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Downloaded and installed MSDE and just finished creating a website using the Community Starter Kit. I'm used to working with Access Databases and this is my first experience with anything SQL. Can someone provide my with some guidance as to what I need to do to upload the MSDE Database to a server. Can I just upload the files like an Access Database or is this more involved. Thanks for you help.
I'm using Visual Studio.Net enviroment, i have SQL desktop Engine installed and everything is working great. I have a problem that whenever i create a new database connections i can NOT delete it. I know that i have to select the node containing the connection and then press the DEL Key, but it seems that the delete option is not valid!
