My problem relates to backing up my MS SQL 2005 database which is sitting on a shared server at a hosting company.
OVERVIEW:
- Hosting company is using MS SQL 2005
- I am using the SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL Server 2005 Standard (NOT Express), which is installed on MY PC.
- So, I am connecting to the SQL server over the internet
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:
- I would like to backup the data sitting on the Hosting company's MS SQL Server. I only have one database on this SQL Server. There are of course 100s of other databases on the same server which belong to other customers of the hosting company.
- I want to bring the backup to MY PC, from the SQL Server.
- As far as I can tell the following options within SQL Server Management Studio may be of help to me. I do not know which one I should use or which one is best or what is the proper method. 1) Select Backup option from the Tasks menu (but it only shows me drives/devices on the Hosting SQL Server, not my PC, so I can’t backup to my PC) 2) Export Data (it does not work, showing errors ‘…not a trusted connection…’ I have no clue what a trusted connection is. 3) Copy Database (which is supposed to copy the remote database on the Hosting company SQL server, to my local SQL Server running on my PC). I go through the wizard, on the last screen it just hangs i.e. shows- not responding)
MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
How do I backup the database sitting on the hosting company SQL server? I of course need to bring the backup to my PC.
I use SQL 2005 Database in my ASP.Net 2.0 site, I have to require admin backup db for me every time, I hope to I can backup by myself , how can I do? You know Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard can restore DB easily! Many thanks!
I have upload my SQL 2005 express database to my hosting, and require DBA attach my express database to remote sql 2005 server database. My question is 1. I have only Windows 98 PC which can connect to Internet, it mean I can use SSManagement, how can I backup remote sql 2005 database? 2. In the further, If I choose another hosting provider, how can I transfer my remote SQL 2005 database? 3. Can I download remote SQL 2005 database to local disk and change it to express database so I can use it in my VWD 2005 Express?

I have created a ASP.NET application on a development server that accesses a SQL Server 2005 database on the same server. This application runs flawless. However when I try to connect the same application to an identical database on a remote SQL Server database I get the following error " Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection." I actually backed up the database on the development server, and then restored the same database on the remote server. I can see the original ASPNET user account in the security tab of the restored database. However I cannot connect. The remote server has ASP.NET 2.0 installed. I have created a security database on the remote server (aspnetdb) and added the same login credentials as on the development server. I have changed the database connection strings in the web.config file to point to a: to the remote database only, and b: to both the remote database and the remote security database (aspnetdb).
i'm using sql server 2005 developer edition. In sql server 2000, when i connect to my remote database, i just need to provide my IP address, server name with password in Query Analyzer. However, i do not know how to connect to remote database in SQL Server 2005. I did allow local and remote connection using Surface Area Configuration. However, after setting this, i do not know where to input the IP add, server name and pwd as well...>_<.

I got a problem when I tried to backup SQL 7.0 database to a remote location. The situation isthat I have two SQL Servers (both are SQL Server 7), They are in the same domain, but in two different NT servers mechines. When I create a new backup device, I can only see the local partitions.
I tried to use T-SQL to create the backup device. It can create it, but when I tried to use it, I got a error message, saying the disk not exist.
I thought that might have something to do with disk sharing, but not sure. Can any of you give me some advice on how I can access the remote partitions from SQL's Enterprise Manager? Thank you very much!
I've developed an asp.net 2.0 web app with vs 2005 and am using a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The app works fine locally, but after uploading to the remote web server the following error occures: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
How do I go about granting remote connections to SQL Server Express?
Does the web server have to have SQL Server Express installed in order to run apps that utilize SQL Server 2005 Express databases?
Do I grant access locally on my machine or do I have to be on the web server to grant remote connections?
I've been using .net 1.1 with access databases for the past couple of years, so this is all new to me.
When copying data to a remote SQL2K5 destination from a SQL2K5 source database, both using mixed sql server security mode, my job generates the following error:
[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Cannot apply value null to property Login: Value cannot be null..".
This occurs after the destination database tables have been truncated and replacement data from the source would begin to copy.
The same process can be successfully completed from the Management studio with a simple data export process. However, when I run the saved package again from the BI interface, I get this error.
My search engine searches have yielded numerous hits of others having the same problem with one microsoft rep indicating it was a bug and would be resolved in sp1. I am working with sp1. Oddly, there is only mention of this in the forums. No KB article from MS addresses the problem and I do not see it addressed elsewhere at sqlservercentral.
It appears that others have switched to Integrated Security and resolved the problem. However, I do not have that option with a remotely hosted database.
Does anyone have any information concerning this problem?
I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).
What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.
APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.

I €˜d like to discus with you the following REAL enough disaster scenario: 1. The TEST database is in the FULL backup mode. 2. WE have a full TEST DB backup and all tr. log backups. 3. DBA moved TEST database OFFLINE for maintenance operations. 4. MDF file for TEST DB was removed by mistake. 5. TRANSACTION LOG (LDF) file is OK. 6. DBA want to recover database to the point of failure. According with MS SQL Server 2000 documentation it is possible. We need to backup the transaction log , BUT I CANNOT DO THIS. PLEASE, HELP. In the same time, I can make LDF backup and recover database to the point of failure, if database is online and I stop/start SQL Server to remove MDF file.

hi i have a database file backup which is having no extension (eg saims) . Can i create a database using this backup in sql server expression edition. Or else is there any way to get the .mdf file from sql server 2005 full edition?????????????? Thanx in advance
I have 2 different servers that run nightly backup jobs to a network drive using the UNC format. I am noticing the larger databases encountering the following errors on a regular basis
Error: 18210, Severity: 16, State: 1. '\fnfssql3SQLBackupsMNSQL05<database>.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.). BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE <database>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
There are 5 databases on this server all backed up by the same job and 3 of them wortk fine and 2 of them fail so it is not a permissions problem. Have there been any problems with backing up to a network drive in 2005?
I have been unable to use DMO to back up a DB anywhere but locally on the PC running the DMO code. Even if a network drive is mapped (eg. F:), the backup fails.
I'm trying to automate a backup process for server(s) that will run on a PC and store the backup file on the server that contains the DB. Has anyone done this? Any hints are appreciated.
I`d encountered a problem about backup DB to remote server.
At first,I add a dump device to remote server in local server,
for example: sp_addumpdevice `disk`,`netback`,`RemoteSvrsharedfolderetback.dat` Return success!
But when I begin to backup,return the message"...device error or device off line..." the detail in error log said:"RemoteSvrsharedfolderetbackup.dat failed to open ,operating system error=5(access is denied)"

I would like to backup a database on a remote SQL 2005 server using T-SQL. The local server I want to issue the command from is also a SQL 2005 Server.
Do I need to use the openquery function? I am doing this as a job step so I will be executing the query from a local server. I do not want to use a SSIS package.
Sorry if this is elementary, but I have searched and cannot find an answer. I have a backup file of a sql server 2000 database. I want to restore it to a remote hosted sql server 2005. Using sql server management studio, it seems to me that I cannot access the files stored local on my computer. Does anybody have a solution? What is the best way to deploy my backup file to the remote server? Thanks for any suggestions!
Does anyone know if it is possible to have a tape device another server as a tape dump device on SQL. Instead on removing the tape drive and installing it locally ?!?
What I want to do is to backup my database through the SQL script, when the backup is successful, the .bak file is saved in my local harddisk. After that, I used the XYRunProc to execute a "copy" command to copy the .bak file to a remote server.
However, when I want to restore the database using the .bak on the remote server, I found that the .bak is corrupted. This problem does not exist if the file is copied to the remote server manually (click copy on local server and click paste on remote server).
Do anyone know what's the problem of this? This really made me very frustrated. Hope someone can help me, thank you very much!
