DB Engine :: Restore Failed With Very Large Backup Devices

Jul 1, 2015

I have a database size of 9.8TB and I backup it to 30 backup devices. Each one has 110GB after backup compression.I tried to restore these files to standby server via 100MbE network but it always failed. My colleague told me this never happen before and I said yes because I have done this before a lot of times when backup devices are significantly smaller.He said the only way is to copy backup files locally and restore locally. But I am trying another method, I create more: 64(maximum) backup devices and try to restore via network again.SQL server version is Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1)

Backup / Restore Devices

Sep 28, 2006

Hi,

I am using EMS SQL Manager for SQL Server (www.sqlmanager.net). I am trying to learn how to do backups of my database.

I am up to this step -> http://www.sqlmanager.net/products/mssql/manager/documentation/hs21640.html

I don't think I actually understand what a device is, how it's created, where it resides, etc. I would like to backup my remote datasource to my local computer's harddrive.

Can someone please explain how this 'device' works and how I should set up?

Thank you so much for any help :-)

Is it possible or not?

Tnx a lot!

Not Able To Restore SQL Server Database From A Large Backup File

Aug 12, 2006

Hi everybody,
On executing the RESTORE command of SQL Server to restore from a backup of 78.3 MB, the "Server Application Unavailable" error message comes up.The error message in the Application log is as follows:aspnet_wp.exe  (PID: 2184) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the 152 MB (60 percent of available RAM).
However using Query Analyser of SQL Server I am able to restore the database.
What is the solution to this problem?

RESTORE DATABASE Timeout In SQL 2000 With Large Backup Files

Sep 11, 2007



Hello,

I am attempting to restore the database from within VB.NET application I am making the following 3 calls:

RESTORE FileListOnly FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'

USE Master RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat' WITH NORECOVERY, MOVE 'MyDatabase' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMyDatabase.mdf', MOVE 'MyDatabase_log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataLDFMyDatabase.ldf', REPLACE

RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'


using SMO. This logic works fine with small *.dat files, however when using *.dat file of about 4Gb I get an error on the 3d restore database call:



ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.

ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.



The same program/logic also works fine when I use MS SQL 2005 and it runs fine from MS SQL 2005 Query Analyzer for both 2005 and 2000 databases. There seem to be only problem with MS SQL 2000 from within VB.NET. Anybody has any idea? I'd appreciate any response. Thanks

DB Engine :: Restore Backup File To Remote Server

Jul 8, 2015

I am working on a project for an SQL job. I am:

1.) Taking a database out of an availability group,
2.) Setting the recovery to simple,
3.) Shrinking the log file,
4.) Setting the recovery mode back to full,
5.) Then backing it up.

I need to restore the file to my secondary server with replace and non recovery mode. I am having trouble performing that call?  I have the code to reestablish the database to the availability group if I can get the restore feature working.

DB Engine :: Receive Backup Failed For Server

Oct 6, 2015

I have a VM with Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2014 installed.  Some things about the VM:  Using VMware Workstation 11.  Created with 160 GB hard disk and 4G memory (that's all we could do when needing to run multiple VMs from the box we're using).  I am able to get to the internet and to our network but the internet connection tells me that there is no internet access and we can't seem to fix it.When I attempt to create a backup of one of my DBs, I receive the attached error.  No other backup has been created for this particular DB so it would not need to overwrite anything.  This is an issue for all of the DBs that are in the SQL Server and not just an isolated DB.

We ran DBCC CHECKDB against the DB and no errors were returned.A bit about the DBs:  Our software creates a number of empty DBs upon install.  For testing purposes we have DBs that are populated with data that we restore once the install is complete.  So our procedure is, once all services are shut down for our software and the SQL connection has been cut, we delete the DBs created during install and restore the DBs that will replace them. All of the DBs restored successfully so I don't understand why there would be an issue with backing them up.

DB Engine :: BACKUP LOG Command Failed - Device Is Not Ready

Oct 6, 2015

When I execute the following transaction log backup TSQL in SSMS

BACKUP LOG ProductDB 
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn';

I get this error:

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot open backup device 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn'. Operating system error 21(The device is not ready.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.

I also have a daily database backup job that puts the backup file under this directory.

D:Database_BackupData

So I changed the path to this and it still fails.

BACKUP LOG ProductDB 
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupDataProductDB.trn';

However if I change it to this path, it works:

BACKUP LOG ProductDB 
TO DISK = 'MyServerDataProductDB.trn';

This turns out to be the path I used a few weeks back when I backed up the log for the very first time.  But I now wanted to store my transaction log backups in D:Database_BackupTrans.

Help Scripting Backup Devices

Jun 11, 2004

Hi guys

I am relatively new to SQL Server admin and I have been handed a task of creating backup devices for a particular SQL Server which has 204 databases.

Rather than go through and create Full, Incramental and Transaction Log backup devices for each database is ther anyway of doing the following

Create a script to go through and for each database name in 'sysdatabases'

create a folder e.g sqldataackup\%databasename%

and within each folder create a backup device called

%databasename%_full
%databasename%_inc
%databasename%_log

Also all these databases are running in 'Simple' recovery mode so obviously I need to change this to 'Full' to enable incramental and log backups - is this possible using the same script.

Hope someone can help as the thought of doing all of this individually for each database scares me silly!!! :)

Thanks in advance for any help

DB Engine :: How To Restore From Current LDF Log File And Old BAK Backup File

Jun 11, 2015

My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.

1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deleted 
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
   BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE

And I get this error...

Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.

The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.

EM Backup Devices Not Showing History..

Jan 12, 2000

Hello,
I am using EM to administer SQL 6.5 SP5a and have a few dBs that do not show backup history by expanding the backup device. The server is regestered as SA and MSDB does contain the the correct data in the sysbackuphistory table. MSDB DBCCs OK and other dBs show history. I manage multiple SQL 6.5 servers but this is the first time I've seen this and can find no info in the various KBs or NGs..
Anyone have any clues?
Thanks,

Backup Striping To Multiple Devices

Mar 29, 2004

Hello--

I am trying to backup a VLDB (800+gig) to multiple devices. I am using 4 disk drives. Assuming all devices have the same performance, should the 4 devices fill equally? (IE 200gig per drive) If so, what would might happen if one of the 4 drives only has 100 gig free with the other 3 having 300 gig free each?

Thanks for the help--

Backup Error:Set Property Devices To Accomplish This Action.

Aug 20, 2007

I am getting an error, "Set property Devices to accomplish this action." when doing a backup with SQL Server 2005 Express when I try to do a full (or Differential) backup through the SQL Server Management Studio. I'm using the backup defaults in the GUI and was able to back up the database a couple of days ago without any problem. Today (second time) it just comes up with this error and I have been able to find anything that talks about what it might be.

I tired to look at the script by using the "Script action to new query, file, clipboard, etc." but it fails before it creates the script in any destination. I've rebooted the server and that didn't help.

I found one similar post on this forum but it had no resolution. Any direction on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

Transact SQL :: Backup / Restore Tools Which Can Restore Multiple Environments

Jun 25, 2015

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.

How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File

Apr 1, 2008

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.

SQL 2012 :: Error (backup Failed To Complete The Command BACKUP LOG) In Event Viewer

Aug 23, 2013

On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:

"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."

"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."

"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."

After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:

"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."

I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.

Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?

Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?

Oct 14, 2007

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).

Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.

Thanks!
