Backup And Restore Database Tat Able To View All The Transaction Logs
Feb 21, 2008
Hi guys, just wanna ask about the backup and restore database method. What's the best way for database and restore which able to view all the transaction logs after the database being restored. Currently I backup my database daily for recovery purposes. However, if I restore the backup file at another server and use SQL log application for viewing the prefer database's transaction log, it shows all the previous log had been truncated.
Therefore, I want to know is there any way that able to get the transaction logs after restore from a database backup file? Hope able to get any assistance here as soon as possible. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Hans

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.
Thanks!

I am currently running MSSQL on DB1 server with 12 DBs
I am running a full backup nightly at 8:00pm and coping it over to DB2.
I am sending transaction logs every 15 minutes to DB2.
Is there a script or procedure for rolling in all the logs once the restore is finished. I realize the basic way to do this is here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht_7_backpc_7veh.asp
But writing a script with say 22 files each for each db is fairly time consuming.
I have contemplated writing a script that takes the content of the logs directory, parses it based on db name and builds the sql statements but did not want to go through all of it if someone else has already done the leg work.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Are there any tools out there where you can view the data in the transaction logs?
Thanks,

I am trying to backup my Transaction Logs using T-SQL with the aid of a job. The problem I am running into is that I need it to backup every three hours and retain one days worth of transactional logs. This is the query I got so far.
BACKUP LOG CA001 TO DISK = 'S:AZTARGPCA001ca001_TRN_bkuplog.trn' with retaindays = 1
Any suggestions welcomed.

Hi:
I have configured maintenace plan to do a full backup of sql server at 5:00 Am followed by transaction log backup every 15 mts.The transaction log backup basically appends to existing backups so there is only one file of transaction log backup.
I want to modify that the transaction logs backup only has transaction logs after 5:00 Am full backup.Right now the transaction backup has backup of all the transaction logs since i have scheduled.
Thanks for your help.

In MS SQL 2005 when you do a Full Backup does it also backup andtruncate the transaction logs or do I need to back the transactionlogs up separately?Thanks.Brian

Hi All,
I am facing one problem.
My Testing Server is down. I have taken full backup 1 hr backup. After that i have taken additional 5 TL backups. All the backups were moved to different server.
Now DB Server is corrupted. Now i have to rebuild the Database Server from the available Backup and TLog Backup.
But i have reliased that all the Transaction Log backup are having no naming convention in File name.
I am wondering after restoring full backup, which tlog backup i should use for next restore.
Thanks in advance.

Actually instead of creating initial snapshot ,I thought of doing Transaction Replication in 2005 with backup/Restore. Everthing worked fine for DML changes which is being replicated to subscriber.
But my question is:
1)In 2005, DDL changes also replicate by default, Why i am not getting that feature while doing tran rep with backup/Restore?
Any replication Experts?

I have this database "DB1" which is in FULL recovery mode.
I run full daily backup -Monday to Saturday
DB1_Mon.bak
DB1_Tue.bak
DB1_Wed.bak
DB1_Thur.bak
DB1_Fri.bak
DB1_Sat.bak
Come Sunday - for the first time I have run transaction log backup.
DB1_Sun.trn
And now, I need to restore DB1 - but the only full backup that I have is the Monday - "DB1_Mon.bak"
Is my database complete if I restore only "DB1_Mon.bak" plus the "DB1_Sun.trn"?

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.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

hi, I would like to know the correct reaction for a crash in both senarios.
First senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am , then scheduled sql server to make transaction log back up every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 12:30. How would I resotre the data in the first senario....Can I restore the full back up done at 6 am then restore the last transaction log backup ( which is 12 Noon ) . I am not sure If I need to resotre the whole tran from 6 am till the time it was crashed.
Second senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am, then scheduled sql server to make Incremental backup every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 3:00 pm. How would I resotre the data in the second senario. ....Do I restore the full backup at 6 am then restore each incremental backup backwords ( 2,12,10,8)
AS you can see, I am not sure how to deal with this issue, I do appreciate your feedback.
Best regards
Ahmed

I have a Development database and I want to roll it back to Monday morning. I backed up the database and used the command:
RESTORE DATABASE ITTEST
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = 'FEBRUARY 2, 2004 09:00 AM'
GO
The transaction logs have never been truncated.
But it does not seem to have worked. It this the best way to do a roll back the database or have I missed out something.
thanks.

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 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.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
We have an order posting stored procedure that's been executing for 14 hours now. This procedure has simple update statements but all the tables updated have triggers which update other tables with triggers and so on.
This procedure hasn't commited yet. I have a full database backup from last night and transaction log backup from this morning while it was running. I want to kill this job and restore database from last backup. Only thing I am afraid of is that it will take too long to roll back which I have no estimate of time. Is there any faster way to get rid of all the uncommited transactions? Has anybody rolled back such a massive transaction? Any idea on how long it can take? Can it affect the overall server performance as this is the main production ERP server.
I can see in profiler that this procedure is still running and not hung.

My DBA does a backup of the database and then it gets encrypted and compressed using PGP. This file is sent via ftp to an outside vendor. When they receive it, decrypt it and try to restore, they get the following error:
The media family on device c:dynaxoto1927131153 is incorrectly formed. Sql Server cannot process this media family”
We have tried the process in reverse where we have the vendor send us a file and it works fine.
Please provide some insight.
Thanks,

Hi i've tried a few remote administration tools including Microsofts own Web Data Administrator for SQL server... but none of them seem to do what is essential to me and that is backup/restore databases to a file.
Does anyone know of a free tool that can just backup/restore databases remotely. I dont really want to have to use export/import data as things like triggers get lost when using Microsoft Web data administrator.
A free web tool written in ASP.NET or ASP would be ideal. But PHP would also be fine.
I can ftp to the webserver in question to download the backup file and upload a file which needs restoring but i need a web tool to carry out the operations.
Or if there is another method that would work please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I've got a following problem: I have a VB 2005 application that uses SQL Server 2005 Express as DB engine. This application has it's own database stored in mdf file, e.g. invoices.mdf with corresponding log file.
I'd like to give users opportunity to backup and restore this DB file from this application (there won't be a system administrator, only end-users). Unfortunatelly after I connect to this database (using user instance of SQL Server), I'm unable to read or copy it, despite the fact, that I close all connections. And I'm sure that all connections are closed.
Database files become accessible for reading after I close the whole application.
I've tried to detach this database using sp_detach_db prcedure, but it can't be done with database I'm connected to.
I will be grateful for any help.
Tomasz

If I have a database backup from sunday, and a failure occurs monday... Can the backup .mdf and .ldf files be attached, and the backup log after the point of failure be applied to them?
The problem I am having is it looks like you can only restore from a .bak file, and then apply the log at the point of failure. IT doesn't look like you can restore the .ldf/.mdf files, and then apply the backup log from the point of failure.
Can someone please help? I'm in desparate need of fixing this !
Thanks,dp

Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?

I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

I need to restore a database (that was backed up thru enterprise manager
and then burned to a CD) to a new computer that I just installed SQL
server 7.0 desktop version (NT workstation 4.0). I created a backup set
of a bogus database on the new computer, then copied the real database
from CD to that location. It won't let me restore it that way, does anyone
know how else to approach it? Thanks.

Hi all,
I want to transfer a database from one MS SQL Server 7.0 to another.
When I create a new database (SQL Server 7.0) and then try to load a backup, I always end up with a message that the backup database is not identical with the destination database. That is correct and I know it, so what!? Is there any other possibility to transfer a database other than Export/Import. Using this method took me about 48 hours for 6 GByte database!
All suggestions are welcome
Thank you

I want to backup an SQL Server database through a client application written in VB 6.0, and not through the Enterprize Manager.
I use the SQLDMO Objects Library to backup the database to the SQL Server machine through my application,
but there are the following problems:
a. The backup can be done only locally to the SQL Server machine. Is there any way to bypass this restriction?
b. To get the Directories Structure of this machine i use the xp_FixedDrives, xp_Subdirs stored procedures.
That's ok for the Backup operation but i do not have a way to view the FILES to perform Restore operation.
Of cource VB function Dir() cannot be used to view files on the server because of access restrictions.
Is there any workaround for that?

Hi,
I took the backup of a database (called students) from one of the machine on our LAN and then tried to restore it on another machine but am unable to restore the database. Below are some details of the problem I am facing:
- The machine on which I am trying to restore the database (i.e. target box) previously had a database by the same name (no it was not a replica). I had deleted this database from the target box before trying to restore the database (of the same
name and which was backed-up from the source box)
- When trying to restore (via EM) I get a VERY LONG dialog box with lots of details. Below are some details of what this dialog box says:
The title of the database is MS SQL-DMO (ODBC SQL State: 42000) and It says "The physical name 'C:Program Files.....datastudents.mdf' may be incorrect. File 'students_Data' cannot be restored to 'C:Program Files.....datastudents.mdf'. Use with MOVE to identify a valid location for this file.
And the dialog box provides similar details related to 'students.ldf'
Can u please help me with this.
