Restoring Database Error

Nov 3, 2007

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'
GO'

Error Restoring Database

Jul 25, 2007

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.

Strange Error Restoring Database

Jul 9, 2001

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.

Error Restoring Database With Diff & Inc Backups

Sep 10, 2007

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.

Restoring Database Leaves Me With (Restoring...) Message

Jan 9, 2007

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?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring A Database Even If No Database Or Backup Encryption

Sep 3, 2014

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.

I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1

Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

SQL Server 2014 :: Restoring Database Programmatically But Not Over Existing Live Database

Aug 6, 2015

I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:

SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)

I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.

Restoring A Backup Of A Subscriber Database To A New Database

Dec 1, 2006

I have a Subscriber database updated using transactional
replication and want to create a copy for development & testing. The Distribution database is running on the
same 2005 instance as the Subscriber and the Publication database on another
server running SQL Server 2005.

If I use a TSQL script to run the restore, the database is
restored to a usable state but I get the following messages:

Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_MSrepl_check_job_access, Line 112
User does not have permission to perform this action.
The replication agent job [job name] was not removed because
it has a non-standard name; manually remove the job when it is no longer in use.
(I��ve removed the job name from the message)
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 46219 pages in
935.413 seconds (0.404 MB/sec).

It looks like an attempt is being made to restore
replication information too. I note that
the RESTORE statement has a KEEP_REPLICATION options which implies (I would have
thought) that by default the replication information is not be restored.

Incidentally, before implementing replication, backing up
the live database and restoring the backup to a new database took < 7
minutes but running the same process with a Subscriber database backup takes
about 15 minutes.

I��d be interested to know if anyone has any idea what I��m
overlooking or doing wrong.

ThanksTim

Error When Restoring DB

Jan 18, 2007

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

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.

Error Restoring File

Feb 21, 2008

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

Error In My Code During Restoring With SMO

Feb 1, 2008

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

Restoring Database

1) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?

2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?

Restoring A Database

Jan 12, 2001

I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Restoring Database On SQL 7.0

Mar 31, 1999

Using SQL 7.0, has anyone backed up a database and restored on to a different database without the device files being moved around.

For example, With SQL 6.5 we used to backup PROD (source) database and restore to TRAIN (target) database. It worked just great regardless whether the databases are located on the same drive or not. We loved it and used it to refresh TRAIN from PROD on a weekly basis.(using sql Enterprise Mgr)

However, in SQL 7.0 when we attempt this procedure the database and log files of the TRAIN (target) are getting relocated to the drive location of PROD (source) database. Very strange.

Though thru object transfer i.e. import ,we can import data from PROD(source)
to TRAIN (target) database, but it is very slow and takes lot of time and performance degrades for source database (PROD)

Any input on above will be appreciated if backup / restore thru
enterprise mgr or TSQL procedure works in SQL 7.0 for restoring another database which is also on different drive i.e PROD (source) database on
drive C and TRIAN (target) database on drive E.

Thanks

Restoring A SQL Database.....

Jul 19, 2000

While this may be in the wrong forum, I thought that I should try here first.

One of the developers that works for this company would like to restore a sample database to the SQL server after installing our software.

Is there a command line command that can be issued to restore/create a database with a file (.bak) of an SQL database (sample)? If this can't be done, can it be done with VBScript or something similar?

SQL is not my strong point, and neither is development. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA.

Restoring A Database With T-SQL

Oct 24, 2006

Is there a way to restore a database backup file to the default data directory in a specific SQL 2005 instance using T-SQL?

I know that you can use the command RESTORE DATABASE, but that will restore the database files back to it original location. I also know that I can use the WITH MOVE option also, but is there a keyword or some special notation that I can use to make sure that the data/log files are moved to the default data directory for a specific SQL 2005 instance?

I am trying to avoid cases where the original file location does not exists in the current file system.

Thanks in advance,
Rodney
