How do we know the list of all the backups that are present in a particualr backup device like file# and time of backup taken etc for the purose of restore?
When I run :
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM BackupDeviceName
it doesn't give that info. Can anyone tell me the exact command to list all the files of a backup device so that I can restore the right one??
Thanks.

Intially my backup was working fine since couple of days it started failing, when i checked the backup through maintainance plan i saw that it does'nt recognize the mapped drive it says invalid drive.
Basically i want to take backup of the on database A from Server A to Server B which i mapped. G:oppxyz00t142linktest.
Both Sql server and Agent use the system account => kavitha is the user account through which i login hence i think this is the system user name, i have been give full access to the mapped drive.
I appreciate your help.

Hi,
Schedule backup job which usually completes in 1 to 2 minutes, it's been running for over three hours. Meanwhile transact log backup job executed and it's hanging also.
I stopped the jobs, which now shows last run status 'cancelled'. But the spid still exeists in 'current activity' pane with status 'runnable'.
No locks or blocks!
Is there anyway I can get rid of this spids so that I can start backup job again?
It's very urgent..
THanks
Can I backup a db which is on server1 by sitting at server2 by way of running a script on server2.
Thanks.
My overnight backups hang occasionally. I say this because there is no consistancy to when the routine will hang. It happens on the first step where it reindexes. The only user database on the server is about 12GB. The server is dedicated to SQL so nothing else runs on it. It has 2x 800 MHz processors with 2 G of ram of which 1.5 is allocated to SQL.
I can't trace the error because it happens before the report is written to. There are a few tables with a million plus records that take up almost a 1G per table.
It was my understanding that if users were in the database they would notice a big performance loss but that the backups would still run. Could it dying because of resource contention? I'm at a loss and really could use some input. I can't afford to go a whole weekend without a backup.
Is there a way for me to progammatically check who is the database prior to the job kicking off?
Any ideas as to what would cause an inconsistant hang of job is greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Kelsey

By mistake i restored a database to different one.

Is it possible to roll it back to the state before i restored.
I need your answer as soon as possible
I have got a recent backup problem that just does not make sense. The system is able to perform hourly backups of my transaction logs fine but my daily backups of the entire database which occurs every night now fails. I tried recreating my daily backup job all over again from scratch and the job still fails.
When I perform a manual backup of the database however the system works fine.

Hi Everybody,
Our branch office in Europe has sent full 'backup' file of capacity 25GB.
I have to restore this backup to our database. Their database is 'Candidate'
and our database is 'client'. Both these databases have different logical
names and physical names.
The following Batch script only I hv executed,
RESTORE DATABASE Client
FROM DISK = 'd:dumppaw01dump.bak'
WITH MOVE 'candidatedata' TO 'e:mssqldataclient_data.mdf',
MOVE 'candidatelog' TO 'd:mssqllogclient_log.ldf',
REPLACE
Can anybody tell me, what I have executed above is correct or not. Now
restoration is going on for more than an hr. Still it is going on. Is there
any other way to restore this backup set very fastly.
Our server has got very good hardware setup. Good amount of hard disk space.
4GB RAM Memory. Running 4 processors. No other service is running apart from
SQL Server. Right now nobody is accessing the server.
How long it will take to restore this backupset?. This is urgent please.
Any help would be appreciated.
tks in advance,
Sri

Hi Guys,
We have a database with 20 gig and with huge transactions. The transaction log backup is scheduled every one hour
from 3.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
We take a full backup in the disk at 9.00 PM and again a full backup in the tape at 2.00 AM
It works fine in the day from 6.00 AM and complete within seconds and the size is approx. 50 to 200 MB.
But the very first transaction log backup at 3.00 AM is running like 3 hrs and the size is approx. 11 gig whick is almost equivalent to the Full backup size. There are some dts packages that are running in the night and as usual reindex, intergrity checks are running and there no large user traffic during night. But I have no idea which the very first transaction log backup in the morning takes longer time and has this bug size. Is there any work around to fix this proble.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anu
Hi,
I was wondering how I could restore a bkp file into a database with a different name. For example, I made a backup of T1.mdf and i want to restore t1.bkp to T2.mdf.
I am using VB.Net to do the backup and restore.
Is there any way of doing it?
Thanks!

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

hi, I have settup up sql mail and did the following:
1. created an E-mail account and configured Out look by creating a pop3 mail profile. tested it by sending and receiving mail, that is ook
2. I Created one domain account for MSsqlserver and Sql Agent service. both services use same account and start automatically in the control panel-services
3. I used the profile that I created in outlook to test the sql mail but got an error:
Error 22030 : A MAPI error ( error number:273) occurred: MapiLogon Ex Failed due to MAPI
Error 273: MAPI Logon Failed
I really do not know what went wrong. I followed the steps from bol and still having a problem. Am I missing something.
I do have a valid email account
I do have a valid domain account
I tested outlook using the email account and it worked. so why sql server does not recognise MAPI.
My next question, How to configure MAPI in Sql server if what I did was wrong.

Hello,
I am facing a huge problem in my sql server database using access as a front end.The main problem is trying to execute queries "views" ,since they reside on sql server now,and using variables or parameters in reports and forms to filter on this query.
Ex.
how can the following be implemented using the same query but in sql server?
Access
------
SELECT MAT_Charts.YYYYMM
FROM MAT_Charts
WHERE ((([Area_Code] & "-" & [GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
GROUP BY MAT_Charts.YYYYMM;
It is specifically this statement in which I am interested:
[GROUP_CODE])=[Reports]![MAT_Chart_C1].[MAT_Key]))
Thank you very much for your concern.
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
