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.
Hello, I am taking the error message which is in the below side,while restoring a database.(I am using sql server 2005) The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'db1' database. (db1 is the database name.) Can you help me?
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'
I did the full backup of .7 TB database about 2 weeks ago and did full restore with norecovery mode and then i did differential backup of about 100 gb and tried to restore but it is showing following error : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
While restoring the files are different than original database files
I have a phisical device called 'respaldo.bak' inside this file there are three backups of three different databases, The first one is database called 'innovasoft' the second one is 'modelo_de_datos' and the last one is 'Inversiones'.
If I perform a restore of the first one there is no problem, but, when i try to restore the second o third database i get the following error:

I have to say that i want to restore the database with a different name that's why in the error says 'PROBANDO' , i'm really concern about this problem because it means that i have no backups for my data. I used to use this procedure on sql server 2000 every single day without problems, but on sql server 2005 it doesn't work properly.
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?
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 . the image is attached see the image for the error http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/kaboomagic/error.jpg
Hi experts! I am using SQL Server 2005. while restoring a database. I got following error:
" An exception occured while executing a Transct-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) Additional Information: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:3205 ) "
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
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.
I have this problem when I dumped 10 tables to a new-created-dump device.
I dropped the tables and recreated it with the same layout as before.
When i try to load the tables again eith the command "load table from dumdevice" the first table works fine but the second table gets the error message:
"Schema differs between source table......." Where the source table according to the eroor message is the first table that I sucessfully loaded though I didn`t mentioned it in the command.
What can I do, Am I not allowed to dump several tables to the same dumpdevice !!!
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?
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)
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
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?
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.
Currently have large database in three devices, named Cabinet cab2 and cab3. Cab3 device has been expanded twice. We are upgrading the hardware and would like to get the database into one device named cabinet and clean the mess up our vendor initially created for us. Any Ideas/steps on how this could be accomplished??? TKS Jerry
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.
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.
Two of my hard drives went down yesterday. and with it went the Sql server database.The data recovery guys recovered the back up database (.bak) file.I have since reinstalled SQL Server 2000 and now when i try and restore the .bak file it says the Microsoft tape back up file set is not valid when i try and open the .bak file.
Whats the right way to add my databse to the SQl Server2000 using my .bak file and if anyone has come across the error they could help.
hey... when i try to restore my database... they gave an error. the database is still in use.. is there a way to kill all the connections to that database ?
A while back, I used SQL Server 2000 to back up a database. Now, I am wondering if there is a way to restore this backup into a SQL Server 2005 environment as I no longer use SQL Server 2000?
Hi all, Our Application is made to work with different database. I have a few query 1.

theres two .mdf files game_log.mdf game_data.mdf is there a way to restore a database with these files but not with .bak (backup) files? i couldn't connect to database so i reinstalled sql server 2000 and this time i could connect to the sql server fine but when i tried to restore the database, it wouldn't work when i set it to transcation log and it shows an error
The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH RECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step. RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Hello,due to some testing my SQL Server crashed. I have to reinstall it and ...For now I only have .mdf file and nothing else. My question is: is there anypossibility to restore this .mdf file for SQL 2000? I have some useful datain this file and there will be nice to use it.Best RegardsMarciN
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.
