Wouldn't you know it I have to restore a database and my tape device is kaput.
The database I need to restore was backed up with TSQL commands. Does anyone know how or if I can use the ntbackup.exe to restore the file to disk ?
I have a similar tape device on another server (but no sql server on that server) and if I could just get the file down to disk I think I can restore from disk.
Any ideas?
Hey guys
Just a question.
If I use NtBackup with Sql server 2005 & sql writer started, the NtBackup use the Volume shadow Copy Service and the Sql Server Writer ?
That is if do I do the backup of the log and data files, is these correctly and with consistence?
Very Tanks
I wanted to prevent ntbackup from locking my databases during the nightly backup, so I excluded the ...Data folder from the backup set. However, I think that ntbackup is backing up the databases during the volume shadow copy phase of the backup, even though their folder was excluded from the backup set (I verified this setting in the .bks file). Although the lock only lasts a few seconds, the error message is worrisome and I would prefer to skip the databases completely. How can I stop the volume shadow copy from doing this?

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
Hello,
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™,
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

Right click on Database -> Tasks -> BackUp -> And i created in one path.

Restore failed for Server 'IPDDFZ2066ATL2'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE cannot process database 'xeroworld' because it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when performing this operation. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I have a SQL 7 database that uses one MDF, two NDF files. I backed up this database and am trying to restore it another database on another server. However this target database is only using one MDF. I assumed it was possible to use the WITH MOVE option and move the two NDF's into this MDF but it doesn't work.
Anyone know how I can achive this?
Thanks,

How can I if possible restore a backup from tape(taken from databaseA)
to databaseB both have the same structure just different names?
Windows NT 4 EE - SQL 7.0 SP1
We use two backup methods:
1: thru SQL Server jobs (Maintenance Plans),
2: thru ARCServe IT (CA).
I think that there are 4 tables ( BackupMediaFamily, backupset,backupfile,backupmediaset)in msdb that are updated everytime a backup is taken.
This happen even with the ARCServe IT backups.
The result is that when I go thru EM to do a restore operation I find a list of all my SQL backups + the ARCServe IT backups in the "general tab" of RESTORE DATABASE of EM.
Suppose I have this situation:
2001/06/11 21:00 full SQL backup (on disk)
2001/06/12 12:00 full ARCServe IT backup (on tape)
2001/06/12 17:00 differential SQL Backup (on disk)
If I want to combine my last differential disk backup with my full SQL disk Backup,there is no way to do it thru EM, because as soon as I choose the differential backup, EM associate this one with the ARCServe IT backup that is taken on tape.
So, I dont need the ARCServe IT informations on my msdb tables. Is there a way to resolve this problem and thererfore eliminate the ARCServe IT informations on msdb tables?
Thank you very much!
Hi,
I restored a DB and while restoring I selected the Optio - "Leave DB non-operational but able to restore additional T-log".
I want to add more T-logs (one every 2 hours)and at the same time I also want this DB to be operational.
Is it possible to add T-log to an operational DB?Is this not log-shiiping is all about?
I have sql2k/win2k.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Guys.
I have a huge database (40GB) in production.
Each night i am restoring the database into the
test server. In the test server daily there will
be many changes (creating generic tables to dump all
the values to run report against the common tables).
I overwrite by restoring the complete database.
Instead of this complete restore I like to do something similar to transactional replication.
(Loading the database once in life time and just restore only the
transaction log)
I cant do the tran-replication cas' no tables has primary key and
it is a standard edition.
I tried to run a SP the loads the database and all tran logs.
the database is unusable until all the logs are restored
(no/recovery syntax).
Any ideas?

I need to create a test environment and want to restore the master, msdb and user dbs to another server. SQL Server and SQL Exec are using the same domain account which is also a member of the Local Admin group. I am using EM to do the restore. When I select restore, from device, then add file and I add the location of the device to the remote server, I do not get a list of the files from the device in the history listing. The RESTORE NOW button is grayed and I'm logged in as sa. Can I restore a database from a device used by another server? Please HELP!

Hi all,
I'm trying to move a SQL Server 6.5 database from one almost extinct NT4 box, to a whizz-bang only-almost-dead NT4 box. These boxes live in different domains, and CANNOT be networked together.
The original box has a daily backup routine that runs daily, with no errors. A colleague copied the data, log files and a single backup file from the overnight job from the original box, to the "new" box over the weekend, but when I go to restore the database from the backup file, the new installation doesn't seem to recognise a backup within this file. We have a backup file from that database that is about 2 years old, which restores perfectly well, but obviously, doesn't quite meet our needs data wise.
Is there an sp_attachdb (or equivalent) in SQL Server 6.5 that I can use to create a new database with the orignal data and log file??
