How To Backup Tr. Log When Database Is OFFLINE And Mdf File Is Remote My Mistake?
Sep 21, 2006
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'm using 2014 SE.I know a backup of a database doesn't take the source DB offline, but then I need to move this DB to another server (for intensive reporting work). At present we restore the DB, but that means putting the DB in single user mode, kicking everyone off, and completing the restore.
I see from 2014 EE notes that "online restore" is possible. EE is of course, mightily expensive.Or perhaps it's possible to configure things to speed up the restore process somehow, so there is less downtime?, the resource impact in creating the backup is quite high, perhaps there's a way to (apart from playing with backup compression) reduce the impact on the source server here?

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.
I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.
Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

Hi
What is the best way to perform daily offline/remote/off-premise backups of our websistes Sql Server 2005 database?
I've looked into using SSIS but for one reason or another am having serious problems with this. Ideally we'd like to be able connect over the internet and/or lan and pull the entire database down in one go. Our db is ~600mb so isn't major.
We used to use Sql Server 2000's DTS and this worked well, but I'm having a real hard time using SSIS to do the same so was wondering what the other options are
Many thanks
Ben

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!
Regards,
Strike

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

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!

I have upload my SQL 2005 express database to my hosting, and require DBA attach my express database to remote sql 2005 server database.
My question is
1. I have only Windows 98 PC which can connect to Internet, it mean I can use SSManagement, how can I backup remote sql 2005 database?
2. In the further, If I choose another hosting provider, how can I transfer my remote SQL 2005 database?
3. Can I download remote SQL 2005 database to local disk and change it to express database so I can use it in my VWD 2005 Express?

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.

ok, here is an interesting one.
We have multiple jobs that run the following SQL Backups to Permanent Backup devices.
Backup Database DBX to DBXFull with NoInit - 1 am
Backup Database DBX to DBXDiff with Differential, NoInit - 12 pm
Backup Log DBX to DBXLog with NoInit - every hour on the hour
the devices are in path E:SQLBackups<databasename>
E: is on a SAN
Every Night E: is backed up by legato, When Legato Starts to backup the directory, at the hour a transaction log backup occurs. The Backup Fails and The Database Is Taken OFFLINE.
Questions are as follows.
What is causing the db to be taken offlline?
How can i stop the db from being taken offline while still mainting my current backup strategy.
Temporarily we have stopped tlog backups during the directory backup phase (legato) and then resume them when it is complete.
Difficulty Level: we will not be using Legato's SQL Plugin for the backups, they have to be performed with jobs and SQL Backup.

I 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.

Hi,
We have 2 Windows server installed . A installed with Windows 2000 server with SQL server 2000 and B is installed with only Windows 2003.
We setup the SQL database on Windows 2003 using a control panel and the database will be setup remotely on the Windows 2000 server.
Is it possible so that the SQL database file to be placed locally on Windows 2003 server instead on the Windows 2000 server which has the SQL 2000 server installed?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..."
Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I have a connectin manager for file( New File Connection..) along with some oledb connection managers.
Now If a put SSIS work Offline as True (I need this for some reason). Connection manager for File gives error as something --
"Connection manager for File connection failed with error code-0xc0014019,Connections cannot acquire connections while work offline is true."
But other connections of olddb work fine.
so do we have to change some more settings with file connection or with file connection we can't work offline?
Thanks and Regards

Hi all,
Currently, my (small) intranet site is storing it's data on a remote SQL server. The danger with this, as has happened several times now, is that the application is twice as vulnerable; if either the webserver or the dataserver malfunctions or is unreachable, the application won't work.
I only recently discovered the possibility to use local database files (MDF files), and this seems like a much better solution for my site. But now I want to transfer the tables that are residing on the dataserver, to the MDF file. The database only contains tables. How do I handle this? I do not have access to the dataserver, only to a few databases that are residing on it. Is this possible using Visual Studio 2008? I have read about a "Bulk Copy Program" (bcp) which is included with SQL Server, but I cannot find a download for just that application.
Or is this totally not the way to go? I've discovered MDF files are a bit more problematic with concurrent connections; having tables open in Visual Studio results in "Site offline" or "Cannot open database" error messages on the website. Problems I've never had to deal with using SQL Server, but they are only minor problems.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi all,
We have a serious problem.
The database in SQL Server 6.5 is marked offline
and the error log displayed the following messages :
udopen : file 'F:Filename.DAT' is incorrect size (614400 bytes, should be 537600)
udactivate (primary) : failed to open device 'F:Filename.DAT' for vdn 131
The entries for the device exists in sysusages and sysdevices.
Anyone encountered this before?
Please help if you know how we can get the database online, again.
Many Thanks.

Over the weekend I had one of my databases taken offline. To my knowledge no one explicitly took this database offline. This isn't to say that someone did and is refusing to speak up. I'm just trying to find some answers.
I do know that our IT dept. did maintenance to a number of our servers and they swear nothing was done to this one. So my question is, "Is there any SQL process that can take a database offline."
I've checked the log files but there isn't anything that directly points to that database being taken offline.
Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4, SQL 2000 SP3 on a NT INTEL X86 platform.
Any ideas or comments are appreciated!

What exactly is database offline? I tried to google it but didn't get what I was looking for.
One of my environments has few users. They attach databases and run an application to produce the results. Sometimes they forget to detach databases after their use and these databases remain in SQL Server. Sometimes they leave the database to use it in future.
At the moment there are about 900 databases attached. I believe these attached databases are using the servers resources and therefore, decrease performance. Is this correct?
I was thinking to force the users to detach databases that they do not need and attach when they need. Then thought why shouldn't just set the database to offline and take it back online when they need. Does this increase performance? Does this save server's resources?
Thanks,
Canada DBA

I currently have a very long script that I need to run on several servers through an SSIS package. The issue stems from servers that have one or two databases offline. This causes the script to fail. Is there an easy way to get the script to either run on offline databases or skip those that are offline? Thanks
