Backup Failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup And File Manipulation... Must Be Serialized
Jul 11, 2007Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:

Apr 1, 2008I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Where should i start? Can someone please direct me..
SQL 2012 :: DBCC Shrinkfile Empty File Not Distributing Data Evenly In Primary File Group With Multiple Files
Apr 29, 2014Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.
SQL 2012 :: Backup Of Availability Group?
Aug 6, 2015Proposed configuration:
Using a centralized backup server from which to run SQL backups. (this server is not part of this AVG)
AVG with backup preference set to primary.
SQL backup (daily full and hourly logs run from centralized backup server) with target set to AG Listener name.
Any failover should still target Primary Replica.
SQL 2012 :: Backup Status In Availability Group
Mar 16, 2015some of the databases are not backed up in availability groups , they are showing the status as synchronized , how can we check the reason of this ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: Backup / Restore Availability Group Following Failover
Jul 21, 2014I have 2 servers in a SQL Server Fail-Over Cluster. IOW I use always-on availability groups. I run backups - full, diff and log - regularly via SQL Agent on one server only depending on which is primary. If there is a fail-over, then backups will continue on the other server. If I have to restore a database in an availability group I probably would need some combination of full, diff, and log backups from each server. Would that actually work? I test the backups weekly however I just realized that I never tested that scenario.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDB Engine :: How To Restore From Current LDF Log File And Old BAK Backup File
Jun 11, 2015My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deleted
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.

Reporting Services :: Display Group Name Value Of Each Group In Column Header Outside The Group?
Sep 29, 2015I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of
ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...

NB: I am using the "sa" user to execute this command.

Primary File Group Full
Apr 26, 2005Weird. I have an Agent job that populates some warehouse data every night. It's been working fine for over a year. Then it fails with a message that thePRIMARY file group is full. The database is set to Simple recovery, automatic, unrestricted growth by 10% for both the log file and the data file. The drive it's on has 96GB free. The data file is 1.5GB and the log is 2MB and there's not very much fluctuation in the amoutn of data going into it.
Anybody have an idea why that would happen?
Thanks for any insight,Pete

Moving Table To New File Group
Oct 17, 2007Hi all
I have a table called ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION which is in PRIMARY file group, in order to move this table to new file group [FG_ACTV], I have done the following
1. ALTER DATABASE [MYDB] ADD FILEGROUP [FG_ACTV] (i have not attached a file to this file group)
2. IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION]') AND name = N'ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK')
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION] DROP CONSTRAINT [ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK]
GO
3.ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION] ADD CONSTRAINT [ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ACTIVATION_CONSUMPTION_ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [FG_ACTV]
The above command executed successfully and now the table is in new file group [FG_ACTV]
My question is how come the table was moved to new file group though it has no files attached to it?
Thanks in advance.
