Error In Restoring Data From CD.
Aug 14, 2000
I need to move a database from one server to a new server. Right now, I only have database file on CD which is generated using the backup feature of MS SQL server.
What I did was I copied the file from CD to the harddisk of the new server.
Then I used the restore database, restore from disk, where I specified the location of the backup database file. When I began to restore, the error message I got was:
The file 'e:MSSQL7dataGTCSQL_data.mdf cannot be used by RESTORE. Consider using the WITH MOVE option to identify a valid location for the file. Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
The error message in the error.log of SQL server is:
BackupFileDesc::VerifyCreatability: Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.) during the creation/opening of physical device e:MSSQL7DATAGTCIntranetSQL_dat.mdf.
What did I do wrong? How to use the WITH MOVE option? This is the first time I use MS SQL server. So please give me detailed instruction if posible.
Any suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I think I am getting a similar problem to a previous post, I get this message when restoring a SQL 2005 DB.
Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
It was backed up using whatever tool is in the full version of Server 2005. I only have the express edition and to restore I have run the filelistonly to find the logical file name. I then run a query like:
restore database new name from disk ='file location and name'
with move
'logical file name for mdf' to 'new location',
move 'logical file for ldf' to 'new location'
I have done this many times before with both 2000 and 2005, although the backup is usually done on command backup database 'database name' to disk ='location and name'.
Please help!
Cheers
Matt

Hi,
I have one backup file of one database, I want to restore the database to server using that backup file. But when I tried to restore the database using that backup file, the query executed successfully, but in management studio at the database it is showing the message like 'Restoring the database'. The database i am trying to restore is about 2.71gb memory. I executed the query 4hrs back but still it is showing same message that it is getting restored. Why it is showing like this. Please help me to solve this problem.
The query i used to restore the database is -
'RESTORE DATABASE [Everydayonline]
FROM DISK = N'D:BOOKSEverydayBackUp'
WITH
NORECOVERY,
NOUNLOAD,
STATS = 10,
MOVE 'ASPNETDB_983ed943e1fe49e3ae7fa189b823b238_DAT' TO 'D:SQLEverydayOnline.mdf',
MOVE 'ASPNETDB_TMP_log' TO 'D:SQLEverydayOnline_log.ldf'

Hello
I am trying to restore a file from a file/filegroup backup from our live server to a test machine but keep getting the following error:
The supplied backup is not on the same recovery path as the database, and is ineligible for use for an online file restore.
The location of the files on the live server are different to where they will be on the test machine but from my understanding of the restore t-sql i thought it the move would locate them to where they should be? here is my restore command i am running:
RESTORE DATABASE TestDB
FILE = 'File1'
,file ='File2'
,file ='File3'
,file ='File4'
,file ='File5'
,file ='File6'
FROM disk = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupFileGroup.bak'
WITH norecovery,
MOVE 'File1' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile1.ndf' ,
MOVE 'File2' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile2.ndf' ,
MOVE 'File3' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile3.ndf' ,
MOVE 'File4' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile4.ndf' ,
MOVE 'File5' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile5.ndf' ,
MOVE 'File6' TO 'C:sqlarchivesFile6.ndf',
I can not find any info about this error i am getting, can anyone point me in the direction of where to try and troubleshoot this message please?
Thanks

hello,
I need to archive a database and restore it on the same server but under a different databasename.
I first backup the database using SMO, now i want to restore it with the code below:
[code]
Private Sub RestoreDataBase(ByVal BackupFilePath As String, ByVal destinationDatabaseName As String, ByVal DatabaseFolder As String, ByVal DatabaseFileName As String, ByVal DatabaseLogFileName As String)
Dim myServer As New Server(My.Settings.SQLServer)
Dim myRestore As New Restore()
myRestore.Database = destinationDatabaseName
Dim currentDb As Database = myServer.Databases(destinationDatabaseName)
If currentDb IsNot Nothing Then
myServer.KillAllProcesses(destinationDatabaseName)
End If
myRestore.Devices.AddDevice(BackupFilePath, DeviceType.File)
Dim DataFileLocation As String = DatabaseFolder + "" + destinationDatabaseName + ".mdf"
Dim LogFileLocation As String = DatabaseFolder + "" + destinationDatabaseName + "_log.ldf"
myRestore.RelocateFiles.Add(New RelocateFile(DatabaseFileName, DataFileLocation))
myRestore.RelocateFiles.Add(New RelocateFile(DatabaseLogFileName, LogFileLocation))
myRestore.ReplaceDatabase = True
myRestore.PercentCompleteNotification = 7
AddHandler myRestore.PercentComplete, AddressOf PercentReturn
Try
myRestore.SqlRestore(myServer)
currentDb = myServer.Databases(destinationDatabaseName)
currentDb.SetOnline()
Catch ex As Exception
If ex.InnerException IsNot Nothing Then
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message & vbCrLf & ex.InnerException.Message, "Ex + InnerEx", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
Else
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Ex", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End If
End Try
End Sub
[/code]
When the program reaches the red line, he throws the following error:
Restore failed for Server 'NB_DELL_JWOSQLEXPRESS'.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Logical file 'TMP_MIXix_20080129.' is not part of database 'TMP_MIXix_20080129.'. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names.
The originale databasename is MIXix and I take a complete backup of it using the code below (WORKS):
[code]
Sub BackupDB(ByVal Filename As String)
Dim srv As New Server(My.Settings.SQLServer)
Dim bk As New Backup
Dim bdi As New BackupDeviceItem(Filename, DeviceType.File)
bk.Action = BackupActionType.Database
bk.BackupSetDescription = "Full backup of " & My.Settings.Catalog
bk.BackupSetName = My.Settings.Catalog & " backup"
bk.Database = My.Settings.Catalog
bk.Devices.Add(bdi)
bk.Incremental = False
bk.ExpirationDate = Now.Date
bk.LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate
AddHandler bk.PercentComplete, AddressOf PercentReturn
bk.SqlBackup(srv)
bk.Devices.Remove(bdi)
bk = Nothing
srv = Nothing
GC.Collect()
End Sub
[/code]
Does anyone have an idea what I can do about it?
Friendly regards

I recieved 4 database's that were backed up from our client. They are using SQL Server 2000 and each of the files has no extension.
When attempting to restore a database of the same name in SQL Server Express 2k5 I recieve the following error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided
Is there a way to restore the backup without the log backup?
Thank you

When attempting to restore a database, I get the following error:
'Cannot open backup device, (filename).bak, Operating system error 5, access is denied.'
I get similar errors when attempting to attach the database file, it shows up in the Mngt. Tool as 'read only'.
This error does not occur when restoring the same .bak file to other pc's. On the problem pc, we have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Sql Express and Mngt. Tool Express. It occurs whether logged in as full administrator or other user.

Hi All,
We have a database on our server in the office, which I have installed to test an application in delevelopment. I've got it all working and tested OK.
I've continued working on it at home. I've added some fields to one of the tables. The database in office has a data in which I whish to transfer to my test database - with the new fields added.
I have tried the backup and restore procedure, which works great, but it overwrites the entire database, I just want the data from all tables in one procedure each way, one to backup and one to restore.
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Wayne

Hi all.
I was just restoring one database and creating another concurrently on the same server. The restore took longer than the create due to the respective sizes.
After the create had finished (done in Query Analyzer) I went back to the restore to see how it was getting on (running in Enterprise Manager).
There was an error (which I didn't record exactly - DOH!) along the lines of "could not obtain a lock on the model database, restore terminating abnormally."
I guess the create had model locked while it was creating the default objects, but what was a *restore* doing needing the model database anyway?
Any comments would be interesting.

I m a student and i m doing a project on Datamining. I have to mine data of a company. the issue is that the company uses Microsoft SQL server as there DBMS. they backed up there data and gave it to me with schema (schema is separate and data backup is a backup generated through the backup option in SQL server Enterprise Manager). Now i created tables through query analyzer (i think) and then through enterprise manager i tried to restore that backup on my personal pc and i get an error .

Here is a senario that I am confused about
if I backedup a table on Monday 5 pm. this table has 3 rows of data.
On Tuesday, I inserted 3 more rows and backed it at 5 pm ( total rows now are 6)
On Wedesday, I deleted the first 3 rows accidently.
Which is more efficient : to restore the data from Monday ( in order to restore the first 3 rows)
OR
Restore the data from Tuesday( I will choose not to append to the available data )
This is a small sample, but if I am dealing with 40 GB of data. I want to know the best way to restore the lost data.
Thanks for your help

We are running 2014 enterprise. Have there been any features added to sql server that ease the challenge of restoring only data? I often find myself creating separate databases so that a restore of a db's data doesnt also restore procs and functions and vice versa.Â

The transaction Log backups happen at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm (device does not get initialized) and one at 11 pm where i initialize the backup device. now i have another server with the same database on it. I restore these backups on to this server by simple copying the files and then doing Restore ...From Device...Add file...option. I am able to restore the DB backup but when i try to restore the log backups it get the error msg -
'Specified file 'G:...' is out of sequence. current time stamp is Feb 9 2000 3:54 pm while dump was from Feb 9 2000 3 pm.'
When i am restoring the logs i start from the 1st backup buyt still i get this error. Can someone pls let me know what the problem is and how to resolve it. Thanks.

I backup a database at the begining of each month with a full and then do nightly diffs on it.
For the same database I run daily fulls and 10 minute log backups.
these two backups create / append to two different backup files.
The problem im having is that I cant restore the Differential backup set. SQL seems to restore the full just fine but alwasy throws an error when its about to start to retore the last diff. now forgive me but I clicked OK on the message and I cant find any record of the error in the logs but its something like:
"SQL cannot restore the database as the database has not been restored to the previous correct state"
is my 10 min TS log backups screwing up the DIff chain somehow?
this is really doing my head in. any help appreciated.

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

I'm using SQL Server 2000 and need to restore a large database onto a different node. The problem is the original database has a 74 gb first datafile and the node where I need to restore it doesn't have a single drive that big. I'm trying to use a backup of the original database and restore it into an existing database on another node and am using the move options to put the files in the right places.
Is there a way I run the restore to split the 74 gb datafile across drives on my target node?
Thanks for any help.

I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.
