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'.
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?
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 !!!
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 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
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.
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

any ideas?
this is actually a restore from a BAK file saved from the live server. we copied the bak file over and placed it on the test server hard drive, now we are trying to restore this using SSMS
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 have scheduled a database backup at 9 pm and 5 Transaction Log backups. 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 have backup of data from SQL Server 7.0 and now when i'm trying to restore it into SQL Express 2005, I'm getting following error......
-------------------- Msg 3154, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'GOSLDW' database. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. --------------------
Here is SQL i'm using to restore database,
RESTORE DATABASE GOSLDW FROM DISK = 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW' WITH MOVE 'GOSLDW' TO 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW.mdf', MOVE 'GOSLDW' TO 'C:sqlserverDataGOSLDW.ldf' GO
Why i'm getting this error? Am i missing anything here?
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.
Hi, I am restoring a database as a complete step. The database icon, under the Sql server Group in the Sql server enterprise manager, turned into gray and got a word (loading) infront of the database name, what does that means?
I am just curious to know whether it's possible to restore a SQL 6.5 DB from a DB device file. For e.g. i have a device file abc.dat which contains a db. Now thru this device file can i restore the data on xyz database.
I had SQL win2k running on a machine and had 2 dbs. unfortunately the hard drive failed (ntldr crashed). i was able to copy the contents of from the old drive (so i have the DB files) but no backups.
Is there any way to import this data into a new DB?
Can you restore a backup (bak) file to a different server? E.g. client gets server nicked, they have bak files, can I run a restore to my sql server? I can see the with MOVE option, but I can't see how to attach (to the new server) if the database wasn't detached (from the nicked server).
i am getting the following error when i try and restore a datbase
The log in this backup set begins at LSN 110000000011300001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 102000000188100001 can be restored..
while iam restoring my back up i got this error message
Msg 3117, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26 The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Hey all.Can anyone point me in the general direction of documentation whichwould tell me how to restore a DB via the command line instead of usingenterprise manager?ThanksMatt
Hi all,I have a very old MSSQL data backup file.I do not even remember that it was created in SQL7 or 2000.Anyway, I'm trying to recreate DB from this backup.Is it possible to create DB from backup file?I tried restore from that file and SQL server complaining."The file on device '***' is not valid Microsoft tape format backup set."Thanks-Jay
I've got a .mdf/.ldf database/log. I'm trying to bring it into SQL Server Management studio, but can't figure out how. I've gotten as far as "Attaching" it, but can't figure out where to go from there. Can anyone help me out. I know this is very basic.
Now I would like to copy this on to another machine. I stopped the service and then copied both the MDF file and the log files into the same folder as in Data folder of the second machine.
When I run theStudio express I cannot find the MDF file.It does not show up in the the DB folder or window. When I try to create one it says that the DB exists.
What am I missing?
I tried doing a backup and restore but then the DB is not created on the second machine and hence wont work.
i have sql server 2005 dev installed on a laptop. i have 2 .bak's from production sql server 2005 database. i went through the gui restore procedure and both backup files completed successfully. now both databases are in the (Restoring...) status and have been for quite some time. i have sp2 applied. when will these become available? each .bak was around 400 mb. it has been a few hours.
