I would like to backup a database on a remote SQL 2005 server using T-SQL. The local server I want to issue the command from is also a SQL 2005 Server.
Do I need to use the openquery function?
I am doing this as a job step so I will be executing the query from a local server.
I do not want to use a SSIS package.
Thanks
Hi Guys,
We already have work around when it comes to read xml data type from remote servers
remote server (eurodata3) table
create table temp_asaf
(
xmlCol XML
)
SELECT
Cast(a.XML_Data as XML) as XML_Data
FROM
OPENQUERY(eurodata3,'
SELECT TOP 10
Cast(xmlCol as Varchar(MAX)) as XML_Data
FROM
em_port.dbo.temp_asaf'
) a
Here is a question for you. How do I insert data into remote server when data type for a column is xml?
INSERT OPENQUERY (eurodata3, '
SELECT Cast(xmlCol as Varchar(MAX)) AS xmlCol
FROM em_port.dbo.temp_asaf')
VALUES ('<html><body>MS Sql Server</body></html>');
Running above code would give me the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "eurodata3" returned message "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Msg 7344, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "eurodata3" could not INSERT INTO table "[SQLNCLI]" because of column "xmlCol". The user did not have permission to write to the column.
Location: memilb.cpp:1493
Expression: (*ppilb)->m_cRef == 0
SPID: 59
Process ID: 1660
Don't be misled by permission statement. I could successfully run similar query as long as the column is not xml on remote server. I would appreciate some ideas to get around with it.
Hello,
I have an application that uses a MS SQL 2005 database. When data is changed in certain tables, that data needs to be pushed to a MySQL box. I've added the MySQL server as a linked server in SQL 2k5 and I can delete and insert data with no problem, however when I try to update I get the following error (query included):
Code Snippet
with RemoteTable(r_AccountID, r_Name)
as (select AccountID, Name from openquery(RACS_TEST, 'select AccountID, Name from accounts'))
update RemoteTable
set r_Name = ex_Name
from Export_RACS_Accounts join remotetable
on r_AccountID = ex_AccountID
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "RACS_TEST" returned message "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read.".
Msg 7343, Level 16, State 4, Line 33
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "RACS_TEST" could not UPDATE table "[MSDASQL]". The rowset was using optimistic concurrency and the value of a column has been changed after the containing row was last fetched or resynchronized.
What am I doing wrong ?
I have been unable to use DMO to back up a DB anywhere but locally on the PC running the DMO code. Even if a network drive is mapped (eg. F:), the backup fails.
I'm trying to automate a backup process for server(s) that will run on a PC and store the backup file on the server that contains the DB. Has anyone done this? Any hints are appreciated.
Hi,everyone!
I`d encountered a problem about backup DB to remote server.
At first,I add a dump device to remote server in local server,
for example:
sp_addumpdevice `disk`,`netback`,`RemoteSvrsharedfolderetback.dat`
Return success!
But when I begin to backup,return the message"...device error or device off line..."
the detail in error log said:"RemoteSvrsharedfolderetbackup.dat failed to open ,operating system error=5(access is denied)"
Why?
Could you help me?
Thanks you very much!

Hi, I am new on sql and very happy finding your forum!

Hello Friends:
My problem relates to backing up my MS SQL 2005 database which is sitting on a shared server at a hosting company.
OVERVIEW:
- Hosting company is using MS SQL 2005
- I am using the SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL Server 2005 Standard (NOT Express), which is installed on MY PC.
- So, I am connecting to the SQL server over the internet
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:
- I would like to backup the data sitting on the Hosting company's MS SQL Server. I only have one database on this SQL Server. There are of course 100s of other databases on the same server which belong to other customers of the hosting company.
- I want to bring the backup to MY PC, from the SQL Server.
- As far as I can tell the following options within SQL Server Management Studio may be of help to me. I do not know which one I should use or which one is best or what is the proper method. 1) Select Backup option from the Tasks menu (but it only shows me drives/devices on the Hosting SQL Server, not my PC, so I can’t backup to my PC) 2) Export Data (it does not work, showing errors ‘…not a trusted connection…’ I have no clue what a trusted connection is. 3) Copy Database (which is supposed to copy the remote database on the Hosting company SQL server, to my local SQL Server running on my PC). I go through the wizard, on the last screen it just hangs i.e. shows- not responding)

MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
How do I backup the database sitting on the hosting company SQL server? I of course need to bring the backup to my PC.
Dear all,
What I want to do is to backup my database through the SQL script, when the backup is successful, the .bak file is saved in my local harddisk. After that, I used the XYRunProc to execute a "copy" command to copy the .bak file to a remote server.
However, when I want to restore the database using the .bak on the remote server, I found that the .bak is corrupted. This problem does not exist if the file is copied to the remote server manually (click copy on local server and click paste on remote server).
Do anyone know what's the problem of this? This really made me very frustrated. Hope someone can help me, thank you very much!

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.Â
I am trying to make my maintenance plan to backup on a remote server but it fails with:
"failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2".
I am pretty sure its because it doesnt have full access to the share folder... My question is, how can I grant access to it, if I am using a local account as sql agent service: NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT.I need to change the service account?
FYI: I've posted this on a couple of forums and haven't gotten any response. I hope someone here can help since this is way past due.
First I'll give a little background on our situation.
Log Shipping and Replication are out, so I am scripting a backup locally, an xcopy to a remote box, and then a restore.
In the early stages of this, I'm trying to do 3 databases. 2 of them work fine alone. It's when I add the 3rd one that I have a problem. I noticed that in the 2nd stored procedure that I probably need to take out the WITH REPLACE if I'm dropping it beforehand as well. I don't have time to test it on this box until later tonight. I don't think that's the issue because it was doing the same thing before I added the drop. I'm overwriting the .txt file so I don't have the exact error that it's giving. I believe it's something similar to "Server: Msg 11, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 General network error. Check your network documentation." I believe it also said [SQLSTATE 42000].
Now for the code. Props to Tara and the code she's put online.
Any help would be appreciated and I'll be glad to help answer questions related to what I've got.

Hi all:
We currently have a production server (prodserver) and backup server (backupserver) in the same domain, and I am attempting to backup dbs from the production box on to the backup box using the following:
backup database db to disk = '\backupservere$ackupdb.bak' with init
when executing from SSMS, I receive the following error:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device '\backupservere$ackupdb.bak' Operating system error 1326 (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password)
Here's where the issue lies for me:
Both the production and backup box are running services under the same domain accounts, let's call it "domainsqlagent"
domainsqlagent has domain admin rights on backupserver and prodserver
I can login to both the production and backup servers using the domain account, map drives, hit administrative shares, drag and drop files, etc between the servers
If I use xp_cmdshell to try and simply move a file between prodserver and backupserver, I receive the above error as well. However, if I open an cmd window and execute the move command from DOS, it will successfully move.
There is a development server on the domain as well (devserver) using domainsqlagent to run the service accounts, and I can successfully backup databases from dev to prod, dev to backup, backup to dev, backup to prod, prod to dev, but NOT prod to backup
Finally, if I create a maintenance plan in SSMS, I cannot create a connection to the backup server (error reads the connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection)
The backup server was changed to a different domain (domain2) before I arrived here, but has been switched back now, rebooted, service accounts changed via Configuration Manager, services restarted (and rebooted again for good measure).
Does SSMS use a different security context to create the connections to remote servers? From all my tests, the domainsqlagent account has all the correct rights and is working OK. Could this be a network issue? The network admin and I have been banging our heads against a wall for the past couple of days, so if anyone has seen something like this, I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Craig

I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "

forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

Hello Everyone,
I got a problem when I tried to backup SQL 7.0 database to a remote location.
The situation isthat I have two SQL Servers (both are SQL Server 7), They are in the same domain, but in two different NT servers mechines. When I create a new backup device, I can only see the local partitions.
I tried to use T-SQL to create the backup device. It can create it, but when I tried to use it, I got a error message, saying the disk not exist.
I thought that might have something to do with disk sharing, but not sure. Can any of you give me some advice on how I can access the remote partitions from SQL's Enterprise Manager? Thank you very much!

Hi all,
Am extremely new to SQL and have come stuck writing a DOS script that works well if the DB's are on the same server. My problem is that one of the DB's the script is to manage is on another server and I've been losing sleep trying to work out how to resolve this.
I'm trying to keep (if possible) the script as simple as I explain below.
For the successful DEMO backups, I have the following ....
The SQL batch file (%SQLFile%) reads:
backup database DB_DEMO to DISK = 'C:DA_InstallsBOSDEMO estingackupsdbaseDB_DEMOFri.bak' with init
go
In the DOS script, I have:
osql -S %DBSrvr% -E -d %SQLDatabase% -n -i %SQLFile% -o %SQLBackupLog% >> %OutputLog%
And this is successful, as the script and the DB reside on the same server. However I'm troubled by how I connect to the DB_LIVE db on another server and write the backup to the same server the script is run from.
Any help is really appreciated.
Cheers,
Cameron
I want to restore a huge database into my workstation.The size of the backup file is more than 6 GB and I don't have enoughspace on my HD for both the database and the backup file.So I put the file in a shared folder on a pc connected through a switchto my pc.My wkst uses w2k pro sp4, the other PC win xp home SP1. MSDE 2000.The share is visible and RW for the administrator of my wkst.The 2 pc are in the same workgroup and are not part of a domain.I tried to restore using this code:RESTORE DATABASE MydbFROM DISK='\uncpath ofile.bak'WITH ...and get the error 3201 and in the log:"BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: the backup peripheral'\uncpath ofile.bak' could not open. Error in O.S. = 5(AccessDenied.). " (I'm translating form italian)I read that the problem can arise from the fact that the restoration isexecuted by a sql server "user" that has not the same permissions as theadministrator. I tried to assign to the SQLSERVERAGENT service the useradministrator with no avail.And executing:xp_cmdshell 'dir \uncpath ofile.bak'gives the error "access denied".Is there a solution to this problem?Otherwise how can I restore a database whose backup has almost the samesize as the free space on the disk?thank youmaxx--NOSPAM: Rimuovere i trattini dallo username!Cut hyphens from my username!
