I know this is easy but I am having trouble creating a database from a backup file.
I created a database (Test).
Then I selected 'Test', went to Tasks and selected 'Restore Database'.
I selected 'Device' browsed to the backup file.
I choose the destination database to be 'Test'.
There is no backup sets listed to restore. The 'OK' button is disabled.
How do you get the backup list to display? This is a new database. I don't need a backup.

Hi,
I am trying to create a script that will create a backup (or copy) of an sdf database.
I have a database already in my application working nicely and want the user to have the option to backup that file so if anything goes wrong they will be able to click a button and it will restore all the data to the database. I am not sure which options are best for me. there are 3 main ones i have considered, these are:
1) Create a text file with all the data in it.
2) Create a HTML file with the data in it.
3) Create an xml file with the data in it.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks =]

This script will read the contents of a DB backup file, and generate a restore command.
Set the value of parameter @backup_path to point to the backup file, run in Query Analyzer, cut/paste the output into another Query Analyzer window, modify as necessary, and run.
This is just a barebones script to demo how this can be done. Modify as necessary to meet your own needs.
Works in SQL 2000 and 7.0. May work in SQL 2005, but it is not tested.

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 all,
My question is:
If I need to restore a database when all I have is the backup file, do I need to recreate all the tables, or is it possible to restore into a new database ?
Is it possible to restore a sql server 2000 database into a sql server 2005 database ?
Thanks in advance.

This is a pretty basic question, but I've generated a backup file for one of my SQL 2000 databases, and I need to copy the backup file to another computer so I can burn it on CD. Whenever I try to copy the file, I get an error message saying that the file is in use by another process and can't be copied. I have tried detaching the database, shutting down Enterprise Manager, stopping the MSSQL service, but all to no avail. There must be a way to do this, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't know where to post this kind of stuff so here goes...
I have maintenance plans which sometimes fail because the delete step reports that the old backup file is "in use." I have no idea how to determine what Windows thinks is holding the file. HOw do you determine who is holding a file hostage??
Thanks.

Hello,
i would like to copy the SQL Server Express database .mdf and .ldf files for backup. Is this ok?
Autoclose = true and recovery model = simple.
Must i detach the database before copy the 2 files or can i copy the 2 files without detach at any time? When connections are open (also remote connections).
Can i copy at any time even when transactions are active?
I would like to write a copy programm which copies the 2 files every 30 minuutes. Only 30 minutes of work could be lost.
This would be enough for me and i don't have to care for the the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff. In the past i used BACKUP and when i needed this BACKUP it did not run. Returns some error message..
Is copy ok? When is it possible? At any time or must all transactions be comitted? Must all connections (remotes too) be closed? Must the database be detached?
Is this enough to have a valid backup? Backup would be an attach of the .mdf file.
Or must i use the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff? Why?
If so, for what reason is the AUTO CLOSE property there?
Regards,
Markus

I was running a Evaluation copy of SQL 7 and suddenly it expired. I couldn't start the SQL service any more therefore I couldn't make a backup of my database. Now I installed new SQL 7 server and my database file (xx.mdf and xx.ldf) are there. Is there a way that I can recover my databases from those files?
Thanks.

The problem that I am having is that with Visual Web Developer I am creating a webpage and having it directly put online, so for example when I start a new ASP.NET page, I select the location to be HTTP, with the location http://MYWEBSERVER/Website and for the language and Visual BasicI notice a couple of things, first that there is no longer a a link under the Main toolbar "Website" selection called the ASP.NET configuration. So how can I configure what I want to have users be able to do? It seems that this choice is only available if I am building the ASP.NET page on my "localhost". So that is the first problem. So I am able to get the pages to work, atleast the things such as the textboxes to show up etc, (Even things as advanced as the "Login" box). How ever when I try to get someone to try to login I am taken to a page that has an server error. The error is:
"The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file. "
The Stack Trace Errors are at the bottom. I think this is happening because the automatically generated databases are not getting built online as they are on my computer. On my computer I have MSSQL express. So either the databases are not getting built for some reason, (and I think that is the case as I don't see any in the folder). So I think that somehow I have to create a database on my server, and then somehow configure the ASP.NET file, perhaps in the Web.Config file to look for that new database. Is this the correct methodology? Is there some simpler way that I can just somehow upload things as they are and have them work correctly on my server? The error says that either the Server did not find the database or that the trust level was insufficient. I don't think that is it as I just looked again and I don't see any .MDF files. So how would I go about getting this to work right? Is there a way to do this with MySQL also? So that I don't have to use MSSQL? My server only allows 1 DataBase for that.
Thanks and I hope my question makes sense. It is basically how can I get it to be able to create and check users etc. online?

Hello,
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile.
I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by,
1. Create the database with the same name.
2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so,
I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated.
If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
MMS

Hi
I'm migrating from access to sql server 2005.
With access, I did full backups every 6 hours, by simply copying the .mdb file to a folder on another hard disk on the server, and then ftp it to a distant server.
I guess i just can't simply do the same with the SQL server .mdf file.
What is the best practice to achieve the same goal ?
Thank you

I am confused regarding why the default behavior of this option is to use file no 1 if the option is not specified? If I take two backups on different days, weeks, months, etc. and write them to the same Backup set, the second and most recent backup by the way gets the higher file number (position) as one would expect. What is incomprehensible to me is why the decision was made to restore the oldest backup from the backup set if you do not specify with file no? Seems like common sense that I would NEVER want to restore the oldest backup by default and would most-likely always want to restore the most recent backup by default!
If anyone has suggestions on how I could suggest that the behavior of this option be changed, I would appreciate it, as this has caused me much pain.
