SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

Jun 25, 2015I 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.

How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File
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.

Help Needed To Restore SQL Database
Jan 11, 2006Hi Gurus,
Can anyone assist?
How to recover the database if I have only the current transaction log and a older version of .mdf & .ldf files. No backup had being performed via Enterprise Manager.
I have installed MSSQL2000 on Windows 2003 Server. Created a new database 'sample' and inserted some data into the 'sample' db. Afterwhich, I offline the 'sample' db and copied the .mdf & .ldf to another backup directory.
Restart the database by bring it online again and continue to insert more data ... (approx 100,000 rows of data).
Afterwhich, I tried to damage the running database .mdf file and the database went into offline / suspect mode.
How can I recovered to the point in time of failure based on just current transactional log & older version of .mdf & .ldf files?
Can any gurus out there advises?
Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?
Oct 14, 2007I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!
SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server x64.
T-SQL Backup Advice Needed.
Jun 27, 2001Our backups run using a stored proceedure called sp_fullbackup. This takes a dump of every database to a device each night. The only problem is that it overwrites the previous nights backup, due to the way it has been written:
DUMP DATABASE master TO @bkupdevice WITH NOUNLOAD , INIT , SKIP
How do I change the syntax so that it will retain the previous 3 backups?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedTransaction Log Needed When Full Backup Is Done?
Apr 30, 2008Please correct me if I am wrong with this:
I am using SQL Server 2000, when I do a backup I use the database maintenance plan at enterprise manager. I select my database and then I schedule the complete backup and transaction log backup to "everyday at 22:00:00"
My question is, do I really need to do the transaction log backup? If I am not wrong with the complete backup I can already recover all my data, the transaction log backup is useless if done at the same time that I do the complete backup, right?

SSIS And SSMS Backup Wizard Integration Needed
Aug 15, 2006I created a Backup plan using the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. It created an SSIS package for me but the package didn't delete files older than, say, 3 days. So I exported that package from MSDB, added a Script task to it (to do what I needed), and imported it back into MSDB. I can open the new package under SSMS and everything looked good ... until I double-clicked the Script task. That task is simply not supported under the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. Goin in and out of that task under SSMS gave me the following errors:
"Microsoft Visual Studio Macros: The operation could not be compelted. Call was rejected by callee.".
Or the ever popular "cannot show the editor for this task'.
I was asked to "Wait for Completion" or "Switch tasks or "Cancel".
It seems the only way to delete these files is to set up a seperate SSIS job that calls my Script task sometime after the nightly backup has completed. But now the completion of the Backup job and the file deletion processes are decoupled, which is not very good. Can you offer any ideas how to handle the gracefully? (The real problem is that the SSMS Maintenance wizard does not recognize the full set of SSIS tasks. It would be nice if double-clicking on the Maintenance plan pane opened up the SSIS editor but that's for a later day.)
TIA,

DB Size Is 120Gb But Full Backup Is Only 70 GB Advice Needed
Apr 16, 2008
In my enrv. DBA just migrated SQL Server 2000 Databases from WINDOWS 2000 to WINDOWS 2003 Enterprise Edition and the same SQL version. The problem which i need to analyse
1. Why the full backup size is occupying only 70GB when DB size is 120GB?
Here is the situation
Full Backup is taken once every day ---- 70gb
Diff Backup Taken every 3 hrs till 5 PM ----- size is 50GB
Transaction log backed up every 10 min uptill 8 PM ----- not a big size
I am really confused as to why Full DB Backup is taking only 70GB.............Can some one please throw a Light on how the SQL Server 2000 Backup functions.
Restore Backup
May 17, 2006I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Backup /Restore
May 24, 2001Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"
Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

Restore Of Backup
Aug 30, 2000Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.
