Backup And Restore Of Filestream Enabled Filegroup In Server
Oct 16, 2015
I am new to DBA activities. I have a database name Sample_DB in SQL Server 2014. Â
This database has below files
LogicalName FileType
FileGroup
Sample_DB_Rows  ROWS Data
PRIMARY
Sample_DB_C1 ROWS Data
Country1
Sample_DB_C2 ROWS Data
Country2
Sample_DB_Docs FILESTREAM Data
FileGroupForDoc
My database has 3 tables namely Tbl1, Tbl2 and Tbl3.
Tbl1 data stored in primary file group
Tbl2 is partitioned based on a key column CountryId and stored in respective filegroup
Tbl3 is enabled to store documents, files etc., and its data will be stored in filestream enabled filegroup.
Problem:
I need to take backup of each file group separately.
I need to restore the backed up file group separately. Is this possible, how to do it.

For developers, we often have a need to backup a production database and restore it on local or integration machines. This production database is enabled for service broker and operates at a relatively high traffic level. When the database is backed up, the size is nearly 12GB; when SET NEW_BROKER is subsequently executed on the restored database, the size goes down to about 800MB. It appears that most of this is residing in the xmit queue. So, my question is: how best to backup a production database with queues activated, etc. without ending up with a 12GB backup?
Thanks.

We have a server with a database with filestream enabled. The filestream data is in a filegroup with three files spread across 3 LUNs F:, G:, and H: each with a capacity of 1.8 TB.
The file stream containers in those three LUNs reference the same column in the same table.
The F: Drive has only 64 GB free space left. The H: However has around 700 GB free.
We are looking to move some filestream content from the container in F: to the container in H:.

Our current application which is deployed to numerous client sites usually requires the database to be returned to us to upgrade for the next release. The current process is:
- Perform a full backup at the client site
- Send the backup to us for upgrade
- Perform a full restore process to our local db server
- Modify the database
- Perform a full backup
- Send the backup to the client
- Perform a full restore over the original database.
This has served our purposes so far, however, we are about to introduce functionality that will enable the client to upload files for storing in the database.
To manage this we have a single DBFiles table which due to the potential size of it’s contents we determined that it would be best to store it in it’s own FileGroup. The idea being that then we could backup just the Primary FileGroup for returning to our offices as the DBFiles table would remain untouched.
The proposed process would now be:
- Perform a partial backup of the primary filegroup at the client site
- Perform a partial backup of the DBFiles filegroup at the client site. This only ever stays at the client site and is never restored at our office.
- Send the primary filegroup backup to our office for upgrade
- Perform a partial restore or the primary filegroup to our local db server. This will leave the DBFiles filegroup offline which is OK as we do not need to change it.
- Modify the database
- Perform a partial backup of the primary filegroup
- Send the partial backup to the client
- Perform a partial restore of the primary filegroup over the original database. This will leave the DBFiles filegroup offline.
- Perform a partial restore of the DBFiles filegroup over the original database.
This last step results in the recovery failing due to a reason like “The roll forward start point is now at log sequence number (LSN) 66787000000001800001. Additional roll forward past LSN 66787000000008900001 is required to complete the restore sequence�.
I have tried a number of variations including backing up both the client and local log files for recovery and using copy_only but I have yet to be able to successfully complete the process. Is there a means we can synchronize these 2 backup files without worrying about the logs for this part of the process?
Our requirements are basically to be able to perform a partial backup and exclude the DBFiles table as it is likely to be very large so we can send it back to our offices for upgrade and then return it to the client for restoring back to the original database while maintaining the data in the clients DBFiles filegroup and table.
Any guidance on what we need to change or a better process would be appreciated.

UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?

We have one database with Filestream enabled. There is one table "dbo.files" which uses Filestream.
We created a filestream filegroup Filegroup1 and added 3 data containers to it. (3 filestream data containers within the same filegroup.)
We have three LUNs F:, G:, H: each with a capacity of 2TB (That is the limitation). F: and G: are almost full. So, I restricted their growth so inserts do not happen into these data containers. Inserts are now going into H: drive which has lots of free space. Our application code prevents any sort of deletes or updates to this table. So data in the growth restricted containers will never change.
Now the database is around 6 TB in size and backups is a challenge. We are contemplating on migrating storage to netAPP and use their snapmanager console which is much faster.
However, until then, we need a solution with native SQL backups. We tried partial backups and piecemeal restore.
WE tried this on a test server :
1) Partial backup only the read-only data containers first, (F: and G:) (The plan is to back these up just once a month as this data never changes).
2) Partial backup the primary filegroup plus the third data container in the Filestream filegroup which is subject to inserts (H:)
While restoring, we tried the online restore, First, I restored the backup obtained from step 2 above with recovery option. Then I restored the backup obtained from step 1 with recovery. I see that the database was brought online. However, when I try to query the dbo.files table, I get an error stating that some files of the filestream filegroup are offline.

Using SQL Server 2000 SP3 I'm developing a data warehouse where datawill be archived off to a filegroup, this filegroup backed up and thetables in this filegroup truncated to free up space on the server.So using Enterprise Manager I've copied data to the filegroup tables,backed up the file group, truncated the tables, but when I haverestored the file group the database is stuck in a state of'(loading...)' and I can't get it to resume. I've tried running thecommand RESTORE LOG databaseName WITH RECOVERY but get an error messagethat the database has been restored to different time (sorry I can'tremember exact syntax but I'm not at my work computer)Is this familiar to anyone? Ignoring the filegroups is there a way Ican get the database .MDF back up and running?Thanks

Hi!
Last time I applied new filegroup to our database. I call it HISTORY, bacause it stores all moditications of tables on PRIMARY filegroup. I.e. if on PRIMARY filegroup is table User, then on HISTORY filegroup is table UserHistory which, stores changes apllied to User table. It's simple database changes monitoring. We use SQL SERVER 2000 Standard Edition.
One person of our team (Artur) needs copy tables from PRIMARY filegroup to his computer to perform some experiments. Previously there aren't problem. He make full backup of our database, copy it to DVD drive and restore it on his computer. Backup was size of 3GB.
When we added monitoring full backup is size of 20GB which is too large to DVD disk. So I thoght that we can backup only PRIMARY filegroup, because history of changes is useless for Artur.
Unfortunately it is not simple as we wish. I tried those steps:
Perform PRIMARY filegroup backup to file.
Copy this file to Artur's computer by DVD disk.
Perform our database's Trnsaction Log on Artur's computer.
Restore PRIMARY filegroup on Artur's computer (then database is "Loading" is Enterprise Manager)
Restore backup done in step 3. --- Step 5. yelds error (File 'TeleDB' has been rolled forward to LSN 51...01. This log terminates at LSN 50...01, which is too early to apply the WITH RECOVERY option. Reissue the RESTORE LOG statement WITH NORECOVERY.
What is wrong?
Is it possible to move data to Artur's computer this way, without full backup and serie of log backups?
Can I use other alternative solution to move data?
Best regards,
Walter

I restored a file group of a database. The restore came back saying success. But when I looked at the state of that particular filegroup using select * from Sys.database_Files it says "restoring" any thoughts on this? I restored that file group with full recovery did I do any thing special for a file group restore?

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the file or filegroup "CUSTBilling" is not permitted because it is not online. BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I did a file group backup and restore of a database and then when I tried to perform a full backup I am getting the above error. Any thoughts. I indeed happen to see this error http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/921106 but not sure if both errors are the same.

Hi,
I have a database running on sqlserver 2000. This database (let's call it TestDatabase) has 2 filegroups called 'PRIMARY' and 'SECONDARY', and is bulk-logged. The 'SECONDARY' filegroup is set to readonly since no data gets changed there by the applications, it is read-only data. Sometimes this read-only data needs an update, so I need to update the data in the 'SECONDARY' filegroup by running some long data-operations. These data-operations are executed and checked on a another database (which is a backup of TestDatabase) called TestDatabaseDemo. When everything is correct in TestDatabaseDemo we can copy all objects from the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabaseDemo to the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabase using DTS. This takes a long time and I want to try if I could speed up things by using the following strategy:
Take a full backup of TestDatabase
Restore full backup as TestDatabaseDemo
Run long-running data-operations on TestDatabaseDemo
Take a backup of TestDatabaseDemo
Restore only the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup from TestDatabaseDemo to TestDatabase, and keeping the 'PRIMARY' filegroup from TestDatabase as it was at that moment.
Suppose we arrived at step 5, I am executing the following commands:
Code Snippet
--make full backup of TestDatabase
backup database TestDatabase to DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak' with init
--make full backup of TestDatabaseDemo
backup database TestDatabaseDemo to DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak' with init
backup log TestDatabase to DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log'
--restore secondary filegroup from TestDatabasedemo-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='SECONDARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data_Secondary' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data_secondary.ndf', NORECOVERY
--restore primary filegroup from Testdatabase-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='PRIMARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data.mdf', NORECOVERY
--restore log and try to get db onlin
restore log TestDatabase FROM DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log' with recovery
I get the following error:
The log in this backup set terminates at LSN 6000000021500001, which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backup that includes LSN 6000000022400003 can be restored.
When trying to execute "RESTORE DATABASE TestDatabase WITH RECOVERY; " as last statement
I get error:
The database cannot be recovered because the files have been restored to inconsistent points in time.
How i can restore the read-only filegroup correctly?

My intention is to make a copy of a database with some data excluded. One way to do this:
- Make a copy-only backup of the source database
- Restore the backup as a new database
- Delete undesired data from the new database
In my case, the source database has two file groups, primary and secondary. The secondary has just one table with huge amount of data and this file group appears as one physical file. Is there any way to make a partial backup, which does not include this file group or table, and it would still be possible to restore the backup to a new database? My point is to avoid copying huge amount of data if it won't be needed.

I have an sql server database in my office and I have successfully copied the whole database to my pc at home. For this purpose I used complete database backup.
Now what I want to do is delete all the data from office database(this can be done manually also) and copy daily data to my pc at home.So that only one day data will reside in my office compuer.
I tried this with completed database backup/restore again. But the old data in my home pc got lost. And when I tried the same with differetial backup, it gave an error message lile "the restore process was not stared with NORECOVER or STAND BY option".
Please suggest me how can I do daily backup from office computer and restore the data to my home PC so that the daily data gets appended to the existing database in my home PC.
Thank you in advance.

I am looking at the file / filegroup level backup and recovery options within SQL Server and I'm struggling with the following concept.
Books online assures me that it is possible to perform a file restore whilst the database is in the simple recovery model.
So I have set up a database with two separate file groups, a read/write primary and a read only "secondary". Each filegroup has 2 underlying data files.
I have then created a "live" customers tables within the primary filegroup and assigned my existing "archive" customers tables within the secondary filegroup.
If I try to perform a file or filegroup level backup within management studio, those options are greyed out. I can only perform a database backup.
If I switch back to the full recovery model, the options are no longer greyed out.
So my question is this, is file level backup and recovery actually supported in the simple user model, do you have to perform this task outside of management studio, or (as is likely) am I missing something crucial?

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.

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?

Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards

Hello,
SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup
Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198
String or binary data would be truncated.
This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like
select * from #art_commands
The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.
What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:
1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.
2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.
3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.
4. anymore for anymore?
It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?
many thanks,
John P
