Copied Database Maintains Original Name In Backups
Mar 27, 2007
I made a copy of a database "sac_prod" and named the new copy "vgs_prod". Now, when I do a backup of the new database, it still shows the name of the original. Is there any way to change this so it will be the same as the new database name?
Here is the BACKUP script:
BACKUPdatabase vgs_prod TODISK=
'\sac-srvr1data$TechnicalSharedProductionSQLBackup LasVegasvgs_prod_CopyOnly.BAK'
with COPY_ONLY
Here is the messages I received from this BACKUP:
Processed 1752 pages for database 'vgs_prod', file 'sac_prod' on file 1.
Processed 6 pages for database 'vgs_prod', file 'sac_prod_log' on file 1.
BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 1758 pages in 0.412 seconds (34.955 MB/sec).
I would like to change the file 'sac_prod' to be 'vgs_prod' in lines 1 and 2 just above.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I restored a backup of a database running SQL Server in W2K to my own laptop (Windows XP) for report testing pourposes. The restore worked perfectly, but when I ran the store procedure that returns my "report" set I noticed that several of the fields within the result set are different, the number of rows and customers are a perfect match to the production report. The fields that are different are calculated fields that invoque a user defined function, which again are exactly the same on both databases. I tried dropping the stored procedure and the 4 functions and recreating them again but I get the same results, the number of rows, the customers and all "non" function calculated fields are perfect, only the fields calculated with the functions are wrong.
Has anybody seen this behavior?
Thanks for your help

Hi!
I have an original database that I want to copy once to another database. Then I want to update the data weekly with the data of the original database. I don€™t change any tables or columns in that part of the database. Just some tables more in the €˜new€™ database (than the tables from the original database) with some references to the tables that have to be updated weekly.
How can I do this? (if you know what I mean... it's a sort of a datawarehouse where different sources come together.. that part that represents the original database is just a part of the datawarehouse. That part is exactly the same structure as the original database.)
Thanks,
Sandra

I am trying to use SQL Express to support unit testing of functionality which requires database access.
I created an express database (.mdf) which contains a database snapshot which is the database environment that each test expects to see when it starts. Through the execution of the test the database will be modified arbitrarily and I need to reset the database to the original state before the next test executes.
Here's what I do today:
Before Test:
The original database is copied to a unique location in the temp directory
A unique database name is generated (GUID-based)
I connect to the new database file with:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="PathToTempFile";Database="GuidDBName";Initial Catalog="GuidDBName";Trusted_Connection=Yes;User Instance=true
During the test all database access is routed to the temporary database GuidDBName
After Test:
Close all active database connections and clear the connection pool
Connect to the master database and detach the database:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=master;Initial Catalog=master;Trusted_Connection=Yes;User Instance=true - sp_detach_db 'GuidDBName'
Delete the temporary file
When I do this, everything seems to work correctly but when I re-open the original database it has changed unexpectedly and includes the modifications that were made by the test as it ran.
Can anyone explain why this is happening and/or provide a solution?

Hi,Good morning to All.
While doing practice I did some modifications to some tables in Northwind database.Now, how can I get my original tables back again?
Take Oracle for example:We can modify table data. But when we run demobld.sql script then all tables will replaces with original entries.
Like this I want in SQL Server also. Is there any such facility available in SQL Server?
Thanks in advance,Ashok kumar.

Hello all...
I am working on a project that contains several databases in SQL and many settings. The problem I am encountering is that I want to be able to update the program for all my customers. That is no problem.
The problem I am meeting is where, when the program is updated, all the settings and all the information in the databases reverts to the default values, or the values that were compiled with the new update.
I want to be able to update their program without deleting all the settings they have.
Thanks,
Andreas Renberg

Hi,
We have a point of sale application (C# .NET 2.0) and a Sql Server 2005 database back end.
Our customers are concerned that employees could create a backup of the SQL Server database (or even of the MDF file) and use it to steel customer data.
Very often, the application is running on a single PC in a shop using Sql Server Express Edition 2005 under Windows XP. The users usually log on as local administrator. It's hard for us to force our customers to change their local security policies.
Ideally, I would like some form of security mechanism that prevents a backup from being restored on to another PC without either a password or some other form of authentication.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Sigol.

This is a really really odd problem.
Here's the situation. I've got a DB with several tables. Let's pick out two of those tables from the bunch.. they both have approx 2500 rows in them. I take one and duplicate it (right click, All Tasks->Export Data, copy tables, etc) and it duplicates just fine into another DB.
Now, the second table.. takes FOREVER. Yet it has the same amount of rows in it! And this is a flat table export.. I'm not including dependent objects or anything like that.
Not to mention this is slow, but when I use Red-Gate SQL Data Compare, it gets stuck when it hits this specific table.
Anyone have any idea what would cause this?

Hi,
I recently encountered an error when I created several copies of one package.
It's always nearly the same package with small modifications. I call this packages from a parent package which is part of our datawarehouseing-framework.
The problem is, when copying a packages or using a packages as template the packages' IDs and Task's-IDs are the same. And this isn't only an issue concerning logging!! :
When the parent package calls one of the copied packages the first task is executed in every package parallely. Furthermore ... when I for example set a breakpoint on a data transformation task in one of the packages, the breakpoint is set in all packages on the same task! This is resulting in strange errors because the tasks-states and variable values seem to get mixed up.
Unfortunately there is only a possibility to change the package's ID, but the IDs of tasks are readonly!
One solution is, to create a new package and copy all the tasks to the new package which creates new IDs, but doing so, I have to manually recreate a long list of variables, all the configurations, all the connection-managers once again. Furthermore I loose the layout of tasks.
I found some posts about it here
http://groups.google.de/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.dts/browse_thread/thread/6f85a31ea190608a/0eae312aa8440cf8?lnk=gst&q=pitfall&rnum=1&hl=de#0eae312aa8440cf8 or

saying the issue will be fixed by SP2, but now I don't see any comment on it in the CTP of Service Pack 2.
Is there any solution to this problem or official roadmap about a fix from Microsoft??
Greetings Monte

The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?

I know that I have read not to backup a database over a netwrok. So I am curious as to what others are doing out there. BAckup to your local hard drive on the server and then move the backup files to a repository some where on the network? Do others have a file structure out on another server that stores all of the backups from all of the different servers that have SQL 7.0 on them? We are a small company and are just starting to migrate data to SQL Server 7.0.

I have to perform a backup for disaster recovery purposes before an application upgrade. The upgrade will alter the database and stored procedures. My cuurent backup takes a backup of master and msdb weekly. The user database uses the Full Recovery model and is backed up daily at 21:00 and the logs daily at 13:00. Assuming the databse is modified between the last backup and the upgrade starting at 9:00am what should my backup stratergy be for roll back purposes.
1) backup master, msdb and the user Database to a different location than the normal backups. Use these to restore if required
2) backup the master, msdb and user databases using the same jobs and therefore overwriting the original evening backups
3) do nothing and just restore master and msdb from a backup and replay the logs to a given point in time for thr user database should the upgrade fail
Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

At one of our client side a wired log shipping issues has come up.while monitoring those two server i noticed that although log-shipping report says both server are in sync, report displays information related to both backup and restore , it doesn't shows information related to copy that is when was last file copied and last file copy column is showed blank. Same is when i execute proc "sp_help_log_shipping_monitor" . I get same result ...
When i expand copy job history to analyse its what i found is although job has executed successfully , but in depth reading each steps says that no .trn file was copied .
My copy directory is at secondary server itself where .trn files are placed.And from this location itself files are begin restored.
SQL server and agent on both servers are run by same domain account ....

It appears that when you use the import/export wizard from within Microsoft SQL Server Managment Studio, the identity attributes of the table being copied are not transferred. For example, say the source table has a column
[ref] [int] IDENTITY ( 1 , 1 ) NOT NULL,
When the import wizard is done the destination table will have a column named ref, but will not be an identity column. The column definition will be
[ref] [int] NOT NULL,
instead. Is there a way to change this behavior somewhere in the gui? When doing the import, the only options seems to be 'Enable Identity Insert', but checking this does not affect the definition of the column.

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the impact of dynamic database backups in sql 6.06.5
will have on users using the database?
Will their user processes be blocked?
Will their queries run slower than normal (how slower)?
Will there be a lot of locking activity as the SQl tries to backup?
Will the serverdatabase run slower
Anything else I may be missing?
Regards,

I am looking for the best method to backup SQL Server databases. Currently we are
running a dump database statement to disk and backing up the files to tape through Arcserve.
One problem that I am having is the statement to dump the database. I would like to retain
the dump for at least three days and be able to restore the database from any one of those
three days. My current statement is:
"DUMP DATABASE CHOISDAT TO DISK=`D:BACKUPCHOIS.BAK` WITH
NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, INIT , RETAINDAYS = 3, NOSKIP"
but, every other day I receive the message from SQL executive:
"Can`t open dump device `D:BACKUPCHOIS.BAK`, device error or device off line.
Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)"
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
P.S.
Is there anyway to tell the Maintenance Wizard to delete the backups. I tried using the wizard but
the backup files still remain on the disk and I have to delete them every week.

Hi All
I have a database which is 72GB, which is backed up every night as part of the maintenance plan. I have plenty of storage space, and the server that runs the database is fairly powerful (quad-processor 3.2ghz, 64bit, 48GB RAM) and is part of an active-passive cluster. The database backup is also copied to a SAN location.
My issue is with the size of the backup file. As part of the Disaster Recovery plan, I need to copy this database backup file accross the network to a remote site, so that in the event of a disaster at the site, business can continue at the remote site after restoring the database backup file. However, my database backup file is so big that I cannot copy it accross the network in time for the next morning. I have tried using WinRar and have managed to achieve a file about 20% of its original size, but it takes 2 hours to produce this file.
Is there any recommended reeading for this type of issue? Log shipping / mirroring has been investigated and will be part of the DR model but the 'powers that be' insist on having a full copy performed to the remote site.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance guys n gals :-)

I'm using the methods of the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo namespace within a .NET application to create a backup file from a SQLEXPRESS database. I can then restore the database from that backup device using methods in the same namespace. Here is a snippet from the restore code:
srv = New Server("MYPCSQLEXPRESS")
db = srv.Databases("washmaster")
Dim bdi As New BackupDeviceItem(BackupFileName, DeviceType.File)
Dim recoverymod As RecoveryModel
recoverymod = db.DatabaseOptions.RecoveryModel
rs.NoRecovery = False
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
rs.Database = "washmaster"
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
srv.KillAllProcesses("washmaster")
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
This works great as long as I used one of the backup files that I created directly on the disk. However, my application has a utility that allows the user to copy the backup files onto another drive, such as a CD or a thumb drive and when I try to restore from the copy of the backup, I get the following exception:
....Cannot open backup device..[filename]...Operating system error 5(Access is denied.)
The reason I get this error is that the "NETWORK SERVICE" account was removed from the file permissions when the file was copied.
How can I copy a backup to another drive and preserve the "NETWORK SERVICE" account? If I can't do that, is it wise to try to add the account back to the file before using it to restore or is there a better way?
Thanks,
SJonesy

Our DBs are set up to do a full backup once a day (late at night) and then transaction log backups during the day at shorter intervals.
I want to setup a dev database on the same server. I want this database to be an automatically restored copy of the live database. So every night, after the full backup of the live DB, I want to restore the live DB to this dev DB.
Can this be automated? Can the restore automatically stop the dev database in case some open connections exist?
Is there a better way to do this?

In a non-clustered environment, I am under the impression that backups must be to a local disk or local tape device.
My plan is to have a separate disk in a clustered environment on a shared array for holding my backups, until they can be transferred somewhere else.
My question is, will SQL Server 2K support backing up to the disk in the shared array since it is (I believe) not considered a local disk? What key points may I need to know.
Thanks very much for the help!!

I have inherited a new SQL Server 2008 database server and can not figure out how my user databases are being backed up. This database server is running under a VM.
All the user databases are being backed up nightly per the SQL server log. The backups are written to a virtual disk and is kicked off by the NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM user. I can not see the virtual disk. A restore task does not provide any information about the last backup. I have created a new database, and it is automatically included in the next set of backups.
I have looked at the windows event viewer with out any luck. There are no SQL Server Maintenance Plans or Agent jobs that call a backup. I have also checked the Windows Task Scheduler and can not find any task that does a backup.Could the backups be called from another server ?

Hello everyone! Looking for some insight here on database backups that fail.
We have many SQL servers that we maintain by storing Job/Maintenence Plan history on a central server, which then emails out daily reports to let us know what backed up last night and what didn't
This was easy to do in SQL 2000, not so much in SQL 2005. I have put together a query that gathers the info I need for the successes:
SELECT DISTINCT '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001' AS Plan_ID, mpld.line1 as "Plan Name", bud.database_name as "Database", mpld.server_name, 'Backup Database' as Activity, mpld.succeeded, bs.backup_finish_date, DATEDIFF (MS,bs.backup_start_date,bs.backup_finish_date) as Duration, bs.backup_start_date, mpld.error_number, mpld.error_messageFROM msdb.dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail mpld
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupset bs
on (select convert(char(12),mpld.start_time,109))=(select convert(char(12),bs.backup_start_date,109))-- on bs.database_name=bud.database_name
inner join
msdb.dbo.bu_dbs bud
on bs.database_name = bud.database_name
WHERE mpld.succeeded = 1 and mpld.line2 like 'Backup%' and bs.type='d'
and bs.backup_start_date > ( SELECT CONVERT(char(12), (GETDATE()-1), 109) )
ORDER BY bud.database_name DESC
But I am having trouble using a query to determine the databases the FAILED during backup. MSDB.BackupSet and MSDB.SYSMaintPlan_LogDetail really have nothing,because often times, even if a step in a Maint. Plan fails, the plan finishes reporting success.
Does anyone know of a good way to gather info about failed database backups?
Thank you!
Mario

Hi All.I'm currently maintaining 4 servers - 1 for public/customers and 3for backups, development, etc...I regularly backup the entire SQL database for our public server andrestore it on each of the other servers. Lately, however, the databasebackups have grown (in size) incredibly fast - they've gone from about200MB to 2+ GB in 2 months. (I wasn't entirely surprised by this atfirst since our client traffic has drastically increased as well.) Theweird thing, though, is that (on two of the backup servers) when Irestore the backup then use those servers to create a new completebackup, the new backup is only about 200-300 MB in size.My assumption is that there's some kind of setting buried deep insidethe sql configuration allowing it to compress or otherwise alterbackups. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts as to what may be causingthis issue?We're using SQL Server 7 on Windows 2000 servers.Thanks in advance.GreggJoin Bytes!

What will be best procedure for the following situation.
Heavy traffic database on daily basis. G growth every day. so Full backups every nights are needed.
Vendor recommends not taking Log backups but copy just log files over other location. will this help avoid degrading the performance during business hours.
if i don't take log backups, i am not able to recover Point in time if needed.
also log files can then grow faster and then i will have to shrink it more often.
what are risks and suggestions.

I've a SSIS 2008 parent/child package solution to manage data transfers between two different data sources, so we can copy multiple tables and capture how many rows were transferred and duration for each transfer. This solution was working fine up until last week, when I made some changes to allow the package to perform a source count using standard SQL determined by an expression, or SQL provided from configuration tables, I also changed the package to Truncate or not the destination table, again controlled by configuration settings in a table. The child packages which perform the data flows have not changed!
The day after the controlling package promotion to live, I saw the bizarre behaviour of the Package log stating all rows transferred, but the actual table counts were not what the log stated, see attached file. The package solution works ok on other servers and was ok in DEV, but there were less tables and rows transferred.Re-running the package gave the same errors, but on some of the same tables and some different ones.Â
As it is the child packages doing the transfers and nothing has changed in them. I cannot see how the log would be able to say all rows are transferred and yet not all of the rows are actually moved?
Process output - where you can see counts and log Table transfer controller (as txt not dtsx)
An example of the data transfer child packages (as txt not dtsx)When I set the ExecuteOutOfProcess = True the package worked fine, unfortunately, this is not a good solution as SSIS 2008 does not tidy up the Dtshost.exe processes it starts and I'd be left with a memory issue after a very short time, we transfer hundreds of tables each day. ( I could write a .net script in the controlling package to kill the child processes, but that would still have hundreds of processes running before I could end them, as we have three parallel streams to allow a bit better performance.
