I 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)
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 am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them. 2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
Data got deleted on Friday evening, need to have database restored to FRiday afternoon and also some data has been entered on Monday, which needs to be there.
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.
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.
How can I restore the default setting for MSDE to have only Windows Autentication and not mixed mode? And to have my sa account without password? Please help me! Thanks, Nibbles
I am trying to restore a database backed up using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to a server using MSDE. I get an error 3205 "Too many backup devices specified...64 max..."
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.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/

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.

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message: Restore failed for Server System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring. If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

I have two databases on two different SQL Servers,our application is updating these two databases simultaniously.So every time these two databases will be in synchronized state. Now i want to schedule backup for these two Databases.How can i take backup of these two databases at single point of time. so that if i restore these two backups on corresponding servers,There should not be any conflicts.
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I don't really understand what's goin.
basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.
Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.
Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.
Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.
WE are using sqlserver 7.0 & backing full database using Seagate backup ver 7.2 on a tape drive.
I have following questions if anybody could help
1]How do I restore a single table backup from the tape backup without restoring the full database first on the disk & then running import/export utility to transfer/ copy that particular table to production database. Is there any third party backup utility which allows for a single / selected table restore?
2]What are the steps or if anybody has the script for tansfering logins/users with permisssions & without deencrypting the passwords when transfering from one server to another server.
