We have a user with read,write and execute permissions.
But this user with is used by a windows application,Is able to backup on the Database server(On C: drive).
How can I prevent it to backup on the server.
vendor did a full backup for his database and put some folder not being backed up by TSM, he is the owner of the database, and delete his backup later. The backup is not copy only, all the differential and log backups taken are based on his FULL backup. so they cannot be restored.
QUESTION: To prevent this happen in the future, what is the normal practices? or any way to prevent db_owner to do the ad-hoc full backup? I am thinking of using DENY backup database, or write a policy claiming no responsibility if vendor make it happen again.

How do I prevent someone from backing up the data / copying the mdf and then mounting it from a different server or instance to gain access to the DB.
I do not have control over the physical file.
Basically, I want to make sure that only authorized applications and users can access the data.
Is there a way to monitor all ODBC connections to a MSSQL server and prevent a username/ODBC combination. My problem is that we have many frontends for viewing reports, but we managed them all and users are not allow to make their own connections. Some users now uses MSAccess over ODBC to draw their own reports - they have all the permissions as neededd by the other apps.
thanx

In order to take automated backup of all user databases below is the query. This query will eliminate use of manual backups for user databases, in order to fully automate this just create a SQL Agent job and write this query in the job and forget about taking any manual DB backups.
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
SET @path = 'C:DB_BKPUP'

I manage a hosted environment - several actually. Meaning my company is the host. We provide some of our customers with a dedicated instance of SQL Server that they can use in read-only mode. Unfortunately, I have some very inquisitive customers who probably should be hosting their own SQL. They like to poke into the inner workings of our environment in ways that make me uncomfortable. What I originally found was that they were reading our server registry. I've disabled that. The next thing that bothers me is the amount of information available to them through SERVERPROPERTY. They don't need to know things like physical node of a cluster their instance is on, or the last time we updated SQL, or our licensing choices.
Is there any way to prevent a user from using the SERVERPROPERTY function? I've done a lot of digging and can't seem to find a way to do it.

I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.
Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.
My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to.
He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.
The users is using SQL Server authentication.
Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?
What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
Hi!
I have a problem with databases that are left in single user mode after transaction log backup.
I have a database maintenance plan job that backs up the transaction log and checks data and index linkage every hour.
Sometimes the job fails and when I look in the report file it says that it has tred to put the database in single user mode and failed because the database is in use and then in the next step it says that it cannot perform the operation because there already is a user in the database.
Why is the database put in single user mode?
What can I do to avoid finding my databases in single user mode?

Hello.
I am trying to perform a backup and restore of a user's default database. the user- "myuser", was created with a default database. I have backed the user database and tried to restore it in different ways and I always get the same error when trying to connect with the user after restore:
"Cannot open user default database.Login failed (error 4064)".
It happens if I don't delete the user before restoring the database.
If I try to delete the user before restore and create it afterwards, when I try to set the default user database to the same database I get the error:
"user, group or role 'myuser' already exist in the database"
And when I try to delete the user from the restored database (in order to recreate it) I cannot, because the user's schema is connected to objects in the database.
Can anyone help?... How do I restore??
Thanx,
Nili.

My goal is to write a DR plan where i am restoring all user databases onto a diffrent server in a event of hardware failure. I was trying to figure out a way to extract DDL of user accounts and their permissions on all user databases so i can simplify my DR documentation.
This is the plan I came up with...to restore all system and user dbs on a different Physical SQLServer.
1. build named instance $PROD
2. restore master database
- startup sqlserver in single user mode -m or DAC sqlcmd -S ServerName -U sa -P<xxx> –A
net stop MSSQLSERVER$PROD
net start MSSQLSERVER$PROD -m
- restore database master from disk e:master.bak with replace;
3. start sqlserver normally
4. stop SQLServer agent
5. restore msdb
-restore database msdb disk e:msdb.bak with replace;
6. restart SQLServer
7. Restore User Databases.
8. Run Sp_change_users_login for all users
-Sp_Change_users_logins 'auto_fix','username'

Can I setup "db_denydatareader" to MASTER db to prevent the access ?

Are there ways in SQL server to deny connecting to a instance? Basically i am looking for a way where data is accessed only through application , even the DBA's shouldn't have access to the data though they are sysadmins? Someone told me this is possible in SQL 2014? This is only for individual access, i know i can put some encryption in app layer.

Hello,
We utilise SQL scripts, executed via sqlcmd.exe, to upgrade the schema and common data of our database(s) when we deploy new versions of our software to a production site. At the moment we simply wait until after hours to do the upgrade and ask nicely for all users to not use the system for a while.
Obviously, asking nicely doesn't always work, and there is also the issue of scheduled server tasks and web services / web sites that operate against the database 24/7.
What are our options for putting the entire server (or preferrably just one database) into a semi-offline state so that users and services cannot connect to it while our script connects and performs the upgrade? I imagine there may be several approaches each with their own pros and cons.
If you could point me in the right direction or perhaps mention what strategy has worked for you, it would be greatly appreciated. We perform these upgrades from hundreds of kilometers away via VPNs and Remote Desktop so we can't just unplug the network cable :).
Thank you.
Regards,
- Jason
Does anyone have a good strategy or technique for preventing database drops in SQL Server 2000? I know in 2005 DDL triggers rock, but in 2000 what can you do to audit who drops a database why keeping the same permissions intact.
