I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a problem with a database on our SQL 7 system . I had set away a restore from tape, but cancelled it after users complained that a different database was performing slowly . However, this has resulted in the database being marked as inaccessible when trying to access it through SQL Enterprise Manager and trying to access it through Query Analyser produces message 927 informing me that the database is in the middle of a restore . How do I remove this error and make the database accessible again??
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
I backed up a database to drive f:, then did restore and set options to move the .mdf and .ldf files to different HDs (f: for .mdf and d: for .ldf).
During restore I got a disk IO error. The restore terminated abnormally. Now I have no DB but the .mdf and the .ldf have been moved to the HDs that I specified in the restore options.
I cannot move the .bak file from the f: it gives me an IO error when I try this. It did allow me to copy the .mdf from f: to d:
I need to know how to recover the db frm the .mdf and .ldf files. I have tried using sp_attach_db and got the following error:
An error occurred while processing the log for database 'MyDB'
Please help.
Thank you,
Jeff
Hello, I have a database backup taken from SQL Server 2005. I originally had placed the backup into a file in My Documents, but when I went to locate the backup file there (C:/Documents and Settings...), the folders would not expand. So I moved the backup to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup directory and was able to select the file there. When I try to restore this file into SQL Server 2005 Express using the Management Studio, I get the following error message:

I have a two SQL 2012 databases in Development Environment as below:
1. LT_MSCRM (Main Development Database; Same database name is used across Testing and Live servers)
2. LTTEST_MSCRM (Just Created to practice something)
I have take the database back of LT_MSCRM from Testing server and want to restore it on LTTEST_MSCRM in Dev. Its failing because of the following error.

The following failed in EM (or whatever it is called now managementstudio I think) and I scripted it out and ran it in a query window toget more info. This works fine in SQL 2000 but not in 2005. I also triedto 'create' the database first then ran this command below but with the'force restore over existing database' checked on but this failed alsowhich is odd as well. Any ideas.

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

it worked.
But it did not move the 98 or so users/logins...from the source database

We were trying to restore our production server db backup in test server over LAN (due to space shortage on test server) . Test server hanged and did not respond for abt more than 15 hours (backup file 40 GB ) . The we restarted the server (resetting the power button) . Now it's showing the status 'Restoring' . According to me it's not doing anything (as seen in task manager workload ) . So how can I go ahead with checking the db .
Due to 'restoring' status I get following error

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me.
I'm trying to restore my DB to a new server and also a new instance of SQL 2005 SP2+ hotfix KB934458.
I've successfully restored my MSDB database and everything seems to be working fine, but now when I'm trying to do a restore of my Database RMc to the attached SAN,
I'm getting the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The path 'H:' has invalid attributes. It needs to be a directory. It must not be hidden, read-only, or on a removable drive. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
the H: is the Drive letter for my attached SAN.
The path I'm trying to give is H:\DBData for the MDF-file and the H:DBLog for the LDF-file.
I have the DB running on another server also with a SAN attached and there are no problems.
I also moved the MSDB to another drive on the SAN - a G-drive without any problems.
Is there someone who have a good idea?

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)

I got this system error log in the event viewer every time I start the SQL Server cluster resource:
The Microsoft Clustering Service failed restore a registry key for resource SQL Server when it was brought online. This error code was 2. Some changes may be lost.
Even though the SQL seems to be working fine now, I won't know if something drastic will happen later. :confused:
Searching the Internet for resolution, I saw this article. The Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 307469 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307469) requires using the Windows Server 2003 ClusterRecover utility to reset the server cluster check points.
I've not tried it because I don't know if this is the correct solution or if it will work or not.
Can I even solve the error without using the above utility? I also cannot afford to reinstall the clustering or SQL server. :mad:
Thanks in advance. :)
