I have a remote(online) database of my web portal.
I want to take backup of that remote(online) database to my local machne.
This is SQL Server 2005 database.
Please tell me how I take backup of my database?
Hello Everyone,
I got a problem when I tried to backup SQL 7.0 database to a remote location.
The situation isthat I have two SQL Servers (both are SQL Server 7), They are in the same domain, but in two different NT servers mechines. When I create a new backup device, I can only see the local partitions.
I tried to use T-SQL to create the backup device. It can create it, but when I tried to use it, I got a error message, saying the disk not exist.
I thought that might have something to do with disk sharing, but not sure. Can any of you give me some advice on how I can access the remote partitions from SQL's Enterprise Manager? Thank you very much!

Hello Friends:
My problem relates to backing up my MS SQL 2005 database which is sitting on a shared server at a hosting company.
OVERVIEW:
- Hosting company is using MS SQL 2005
- I am using the SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL Server 2005 Standard (NOT Express), which is installed on MY PC.
- So, I am connecting to the SQL server over the internet
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:
- I would like to backup the data sitting on the Hosting company's MS SQL Server. I only have one database on this SQL Server. There are of course 100s of other databases on the same server which belong to other customers of the hosting company.
- I want to bring the backup to MY PC, from the SQL Server.
- As far as I can tell the following options within SQL Server Management Studio may be of help to me. I do not know which one I should use or which one is best or what is the proper method. 1) Select Backup option from the Tasks menu (but it only shows me drives/devices on the Hosting SQL Server, not my PC, so I can’t backup to my PC) 2) Export Data (it does not work, showing errors ‘…not a trusted connection…’ I have no clue what a trusted connection is. 3) Copy Database (which is supposed to copy the remote database on the Hosting company SQL server, to my local SQL Server running on my PC). I go through the wizard, on the last screen it just hangs i.e. shows- not responding)
MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
How do I backup the database sitting on the hosting company SQL server? I of course need to bring the backup to my PC.
I €˜d like to discus with you the following REAL enough disaster scenario:
1. The TEST database is in the FULL backup mode.
2. WE have a full TEST DB backup and all tr. log backups.
3. DBA moved TEST database OFFLINE for maintenance operations.
4. MDF file for TEST DB was removed by mistake.
5. TRANSACTION LOG (LDF) file is OK.
6. DBA want to recover database to the point of failure.
According with MS SQL Server 2000 documentation it is possible.
We need to backup the transaction log , BUT I CANNOT DO THIS.
PLEASE, HELP.
In the same time, I can make LDF backup and recover database to the point of failure, if database is online and I stop/start SQL Server to remove MDF file.
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been unable to use DMO to back up a DB anywhere but locally on the PC running the DMO code. Even if a network drive is mapped (eg. F:), the backup fails.
I'm trying to automate a backup process for server(s) that will run on a PC and store the backup file on the server that contains the DB. Has anyone done this? Any hints are appreciated.
Hi,everyone!
I`d encountered a problem about backup DB to remote server.
At first,I add a dump device to remote server in local server,
for example:
sp_addumpdevice `disk`,`netback`,`RemoteSvrsharedfolderetback.dat`
Return success!
But when I begin to backup,return the message"...device error or device off line..."
the detail in error log said:"RemoteSvrsharedfolderetbackup.dat failed to open ,operating system error=5(access is denied)"
Why?
Could you help me?
Thanks you very much!

Hi all,
Am extremely new to SQL and have come stuck writing a DOS script that works well if the DB's are on the same server. My problem is that one of the DB's the script is to manage is on another server and I've been losing sleep trying to work out how to resolve this.
I'm trying to keep (if possible) the script as simple as I explain below.
For the successful DEMO backups, I have the following ....
The SQL batch file (%SQLFile%) reads:
backup database DB_DEMO to DISK = 'C:DA_InstallsBOSDEMO estingackupsdbaseDB_DEMOFri.bak' with init
go
In the DOS script, I have:
osql -S %DBSrvr% -E -d %SQLDatabase% -n -i %SQLFile% -o %SQLBackupLog% >> %OutputLog%
And this is successful, as the script and the DB reside on the same server. However I'm troubled by how I connect to the DB_LIVE db on another server and write the backup to the same server the script is run from.
Any help is really appreciated.
Cheers,
Cameron
I want to restore a huge database into my workstation.The size of the backup file is more than 6 GB and I don't have enoughspace on my HD for both the database and the backup file.So I put the file in a shared folder on a pc connected through a switchto my pc.My wkst uses w2k pro sp4, the other PC win xp home SP1. MSDE 2000.The share is visible and RW for the administrator of my wkst.The 2 pc are in the same workgroup and are not part of a domain.I tried to restore using this code:RESTORE DATABASE MydbFROM DISK='\uncpath ofile.bak'WITH ...and get the error 3201 and in the log:"BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: the backup peripheral'\uncpath ofile.bak' could not open. Error in O.S. = 5(AccessDenied.). " (I'm translating form italian)I read that the problem can arise from the fact that the restoration isexecuted by a sql server "user" that has not the same permissions as theadministrator. I tried to assign to the SQLSERVERAGENT service the useradministrator with no avail.And executing:xp_cmdshell 'dir \uncpath ofile.bak'gives the error "access denied".Is there a solution to this problem?Otherwise how can I restore a database whose backup has almost the samesize as the free space on the disk?thank youmaxx--NOSPAM: Rimuovere i trattini dallo username!Cut hyphens from my username!

Hi all,
I have scheduled a backup on a remote machine. Everyday I FTP these backups from the remote machine to the local drive.
A local drive is maped to the remote machine in Windows NT Explorer but SQLSERVER7 Enterprise Manager can't see this drive so that I could do the backup to it.
Can any one please tell me how to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
We have remote offices running SQL 2000, which are on a small bandwidth pipeline, so we implemented an incremental backup schema where they back up their LOGs overnight and send it to our main office. After an initial full backup, they just keep sending **incremental** LOG backups.
In the main office we restore the full backup of each remote office and from then on do a restore of each night's LOG file (with standby option), so that we keep in sync with them. The issue we have now is that we cannot get regular full backups from the remote (and sometimes independent) offices on a regular basis - maybe only once a *quarter*.
If we use differential backups, the size of each one grows each day, until we get a full backup. Incremental backups thru LOGs seemed to be the only way to go. *HOWEVER*, we now have multiple LOG files sitting on our server in the main office and since the databases that we restored to is in warm-standby and read-only mode, we cannot make a backup of them in-house, without breaking the LOG restore chain.
That also means that we would not be able to easily re-create the environment locally, should something go wrong - we would have to apply all of the LOG restores for (potentially) the whole quarter!
I even tried to create two restored databases - one where I keep it in standby state and ready to receive more incremental LOG backups and another where I would take it out of standby mode (and into recovery mode). At that point I am then able to make a full backup locally of this second database. *BUT*, when I then try to restore the next day's LOG backup to this second database, it fails with an error
- Msg 4330 - Level 16, State 4, Line 1
- The log in this backup set cannot be applied because it is on a recovery path inconsistent with the database.
How do I do incremental backups and restores, while maintaining the ability to make a new full backup of the restored database, before the restore sequence is done?
Help !
I created a maintenance plan to do the backup on my machine and created a job using CmdExec command: copy e:\*.bak \remoteackup but the copy job fail each time.
I know that command works fine when i run it from a batch file but does not seem to work from the job in sql server. I try to map the remote machine to a drive and used the drive in the copy statementcopy e:ackup*.bak q:ackup but it still does not work. Is there something I need to do inside sql server?
I would like to backup a database on a remote SQL 2005 server using T-SQL. The local server I want to issue the command from is also a SQL 2005 Server.
Do I need to use the openquery function?
I am doing this as a job step so I will be executing the query from a local server.
I do not want to use a SSIS package.
Thanks
Sorry if this is elementary, but I have searched and cannot find an answer.
I have a backup file of a sql server 2000 database. I want to restore it to a remote hosted sql server 2005.
Using sql server management studio, it seems to me that I cannot access the files stored local on my computer.
Does anybody have a solution?
What is the best way to deploy my backup file to the remote server?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Is there an easy way to backup a database on a remote SQL Server to a backup file on my local computer?

I want to set up remote backup device on "serverCentral" for 50 MSDE SQL2k servers so that they could use one backup to create(restore) any new customer databases. This way, I could keep one resource with many coming updating on procs and triggers...
I could create remote backup device with serverCentralackupackupdeviceName...
The problem is the remote device is "access denied" when I issued a "restore headeronly from backupDeviceName" sql query.
Neither I could issue xp_cmdshell 'dir serverCentralackup' --"Access Denied" from server49
Though I could dir serverCentralackup*.* from server49 command prompt.
It looks security permission is OK otherwise I could not dir from command line.
thanks for the help

Dear all,
What I want to do is to backup my database through the SQL script, when the backup is successful, the .bak file is saved in my local harddisk. After that, I used the XYRunProc to execute a "copy" command to copy the .bak file to a remote server.
However, when I want to restore the database using the .bak on the remote server, I found that the .bak is corrupted. This problem does not exist if the file is copied to the remote server manually (click copy on local server and click paste on remote server).
Do anyone know what's the problem of this? This really made me very frustrated. Hope someone can help me, thank you very much!

I am working on a project for an SQL job. I am:
1.) Taking a database out of an availability group,
2.) Setting the recovery to simple,
3.) Shrinking the log file,
4.) Setting the recovery mode back to full,
5.) Then backing it up.
I need to restore the file to my secondary server with replace and non recovery mode. I am having trouble performing that call? I have the code to reestablish the database to the availability group if I can get the restore feature working.Â
