I wrote it so long ago I have no idea what it means.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan't Login To Db After I Do A Db Backup In SQL Express
Dec 5, 2006
I have a working dnn site. I've created several modules and corresponding tables in the database and everything works great. Then, I open SQL Server Management Studio Express, attach to the database, backup the database, detach from the database and I can no longer run my site (error shown below which says I cannot login to db). I can open the database from Visual Studio and see my tables, but I cannot run the application. Rebooting doesn't help. I've even tried copying over the database with a prior copy. It still doesn't work. The only way I have found to reconnect to the database is to copy over the entire dotnetnuke install directory with a copy I made prior to the backup. Then it works again.
Anyone else had this behavior? How do I fix it?
Thanks

SP To Backup SQL Express Databases
Mar 2, 2007Hi - I use the windows scheduler to execute an SP for my SQL Express instance on a server.
The SP loops through the SQL Express databases, and makes a backup - however, it will only backup the attached databases.
Is there anyway I can modify it, to make it backup the databases in my various web sites, within the app_data folder? These aren't attached, but I think get attached when the web application needs them, then detached afterwards - so they are never permanently attached!
Thanks for any help,
Mark
The SP I use us:/**
File Name: BackupExpress.sql
Description: Backs up all databases. This script is mainly meant for SQL Express instances
The script requires a C:ackups directory by default to backup to but can be changed with the @OutputPath variable.
Accompanying file is BackupExpress.cmd, which is used to schedule the script.

Restoring A Sql Express Backup To Sql 2005
Jun 2, 2008i'm trying to set up one of the asp.net website starter kits and part of the process is to backup the sql express db and then import it into the sql 2005 at the web hosting account. it's not working and i'm wondering if there's any difference between the backups they make. the sql express makes a file with a .bak extension and the sql 2005 at the host makes a file with a .sqlbak extension. i was assuming that was just a naming thing and not a structural thing but the host's tech support has said:
"This sort of thing happens when the database being imported is not properly formatted. You can try downloading and using sql express from microsoft to see if you can do it manually, but most likely you will need to save your database again properly set for import to an mssql server rather than however you did."
all i had done was rename the .bak file from express to .sqlbak as that was the choice for backup files.
i will note that it also failed importing the .mdf, which works fine locally with the site but i did make some changes to it from the original that came with the starter kit.
should a backup file made with sql express (using sql management studio express, by right clicking on the file and choosing tasks > backup) normally be importable by sql 2005?
or, i suppose, does it make sense that a db that works fine locally with sql express (within a visual web developer express project anyway) would actually be "formatted" in a way that would cause it to fail to import into sql 2005?
thanks much for any assistance.
How To Automate A Backup On SQL2005 Express
Nov 8, 2005I am currently using MSDE as the Db for a website and using (cheating?)
enterprise manager i have created and scheduled a backup job that the
agent runs.
Now I am wanting to upgrade the Database to SQL2005 Express but I want
to have a similar scheduled backup job. From the reading of the
OLBs it appears I have to manually create a script but I don't know how
to schedule the running of the script.
So my questions are:
1. How do you schedule the running of a back up script in SQL Express? and,
2. Is there a tool that automates the creation of a script similar to how you do it in the old Enterprise manager?
TIA

SQL Express Restore And Backup Question
Jan 30, 2006I had to rebuild my server and have re-installed SQL Express, before I formated the machine I did a full backup of one of my databases using the SQL mangement tool. Now when I go back to restore the data base says everything restored, but now getting sql error that store procedure is missing. I have the script that create all the tables and procedures but running this puts me all the way back when the database was new and wipes out all my information. I was expecting that when I do a complete backup the every aspect of the database would have been saved in the BAK files.

Problems Importing Backup DB Into Express
Jan 5, 2007I am trying to import (unless there is a better way) a database (which I made a backup of) from a SQL Server 2005 v8.0 machine into my SQL Server Management Express 2005 machine so that I can have a full complete copy of the backup database in express. The purpose is so that I can treat it as a template, get rid of tables, views, columns I dont need and repopulate them with different data to compliment my other project, which involves auto tagging of .mp3's.
As an analogy: copy an Excel spreadsheet, open it in Excel, delete cells you dont need, keep the rest but fill in with different data. Kinda like that but with SQL.
I can't figure out exactly how to do this with Express 2005. How do you import or otherwise a backup database from SQL Server 2005 v8.0 and get it into Express?
My backup file is called: WebBackup_KUOW_Program_Full
I've tried renaming it using both .mdf and .bak when I Right-Click Databases and select Restore. Fill in everything then click ok. I keep getting this error message:

Nov 1, 2006Hello,
I have managed to create a backup of my SQL Express database by using the Transact-SQL from article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241397.
I am not sure if it backed up the correct database, as in the script from the article, there is no where for me to specify my SQL Express database. The back up file that was created after I ran the script is, msdb.dat_bak.
Now if this is the correct database, how can I restore the data into my vb.net project that holds the SQL Express Database?

Restoring Sql Express And Databases From Tape Backup.

Hello,
I would like to restore SQL Server Express and its databases from a tape backup to the same server. This is a disaster recovery senario.
I backed up the Master, Model, MSDB and my own test database using SQLCMD scripts. I have no problem restoring these using task scheduler on the server before the disaster recovery.
However, in my real disaster recovery testing, When the server is restored by tape drive (HP one button disaster recovery), I try to run my SQLCMD restore scripts in task scheduler and I cannot connect to the sql server. Also I cannot connect with Management studio. I have recieved the following error in event viewer.

My question is, what is the correct procedure to follow when I want to do a disaster recovery and restore SQL Server Express from tape backup using the Simple Backup method and scripts.
Is it always required to reinstall sql server express from the original program file or is it possible to reinstall from back up tape.
I know my backup and restore scripts work because I tested them on the server before I do the disaster recovery and rebuild that server from tape.
This is some kind of issue with SQL Server Express being restored by tape backup.
Any suggestions, thanks.

Jan 3, 2006Hi,
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks,

Replicating Sql Server To Express Edition As Backup Application

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow To Backup My Database Using Visual Basic Express 2008
Mar 28, 2008I have an application written with Visual Basic Express 2008, which has a Sql Server Express Compact database incorporated into the application. I've been trying to follow the suggestions listed on several threads on how to backup up my database and have not gotten very far. The following code seems to be in most threads.
Dim dbstring = "Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;User Instance=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ImmuLogDataBase.sdf"
Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbstring)
sqlconn.Open()
When run, this code returns the following error at the sqlconn.Open() command.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file G:ImmuLogImmuLoginDebugImmuLogDataBase.sdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
My solution is saved on a flash drive which I take between home and work. I'm hoping that that isn't the issue. I believe that Visual Basic loads the database when it starts and it is already open when this code is run. Is there a way to access this open database and run a backup procedure on it from within VB express 2008?
I'm new to this and self taught so explain everything in detail. Thanks for your help.

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore && Database Locations Fault
May 7, 2008Hello there,
I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.
Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.
And there are more problems see here:
Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"
But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.
Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????
Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press
Attach Databases -> Add
The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???
What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?
BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
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
