Hallo,
MSDB.dbo.BackupSet logs all backups
is it possible find Status of Backup (Success / Failed)?
Table "BackupSet" hasn't any information about it.
I need log and notify all backups with status
(It must be a windows service (c#)
Thanks

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,

I want to run Profiler Traces, Perfmon Checks and whatever else to see what hits the server the hardest in order to work out where I can make performance improvements. We don't have any massive problems other than more timeouts than I would expect from web users no-and-then when they do pretty simple free-text searches. I just want to see if I can lighten the load on the server in general.
Where does a DBA get the most ROI? I don't want to drift into the realm of diminishing returns where I am making changes that have no noticeable impact.
What should I start measuring first and how do you measure it? (E.g. if I should monitor disk writes in Profiler, how many writes are too high for a statement? 100? If so, is one 100-write statement per hour OK but one 100-write statement per second is not OK?)
If there is already an article for this, my apologies. I'd be grateful if you can point me to it.
Is http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ a sufficient one-stop-shop for this question? If so, have you found some articles there to be more useful than others?
HOW DO WE CHECK ACTIVE SQL SERVER DATABASE?
Please advice!
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

Our database crashed this morning and went into recovery mode.how I can track the progress of the recovery to determine how long it might take?The error log shows that it started up all the databases, then shows the recovery messages fr the msdb database, then shows that sql server is ready for client connections. I don't see any messages about my database recovery or the number of transactions to roll forward or background. If i run the sys.sp_readerrorlog and search for my database name, the only line returned is the starting up database message.
I do expect the database to take a while to recovery as it is about 8TB, there is plenty of free disk space about 3TB.The database started recovery while a transaction log backup was running so that backup failed,the last transaction log backup was taken 2 hours before recovery started. The last full backup completed about 5 days ago. The transaction log backup occurs every 2 hours and is typically around 16GB.

I queried sys.databases in one of the sql server and found "is_encrypted" is "1" for four of the databases.
Does that mean that all those 4 DBs are encrypted ?
How to check if the database itself is encrypted or only the backups ?
Note :- I can see backups of key in a particular folder.
I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.

I've been running the Ola Hallengren maintenance script for the last five months without missing a beat. Today I find an error stating the UserDatabase Integrity check job failed last night. This is running on SQL Server 2014 BI edition w/64 Gigs.
I ran a DBCC CHECKDB on each database manually and all worked until I tried it on the biggest one that is about 18 gbs. It just keeps running and I eventually stopped it so I'm guessing it is memory, but doesn't make sense considering it has 64 gbs. I have it set to 64/4 max / min. Again, this was never an issue until last night.I've been looking up all morning, but not seeing much on this error "The operating system returned error 1453"?
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, then SP1 and then SP2, Maintenance Plan worked. But if I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and then SP2 directly (skipping SP1), the Check Database Integrity in Maintenance Plan was not working. The error message is as follows:
Executed as user: DomainSqlServiceAccount. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

The SQL statement that was issued has failed. Source: Started: 10:56:21 AM Finished: 10:56:21 AM Elapsed: 0.047 seconds. The package could not be loaded. The step failed.
Other tasks like Rebuild Index seem to be fine. SP2 is supposed to be inclusive. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening.

I want to backup an SQL Server database through a client application written in VB 6.0, and not through the Enterprize Manager.
I use the SQLDMO Objects Library to backup the database to the SQL Server machine through my application,
but there are the following problems:
a. The backup can be done only locally to the SQL Server machine. Is there any way to bypass this restriction?
b. To get the Directories Structure of this machine i use the xp_FixedDrives, xp_Subdirs stored procedures.
That's ok for the Backup operation but i do not have a way to view the FILES to perform Restore operation.
Of cource VB function Dir() cannot be used to view files on the server because of access restrictions.
Is there any workaround for that?
I have a .bak full database backup from a computer. Now I installed new SQL Server 2005 in another computer and would like to restore the .bak database here. How it can be done?
When I right click database and select restore database, it opens a window where it asks to put "destination for restore". This is a new SQL Server, how can I restore then?

Hi,
I was trying to restore some databases from one SQL Server to another SQL server on another machine. When i backed up them i followed the procedure described on the MSDN website.
Now when tried to restore them on to a new machine on another instance of SQL Server i got the following error. I really dont know what it means. The error is:
"Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
Now from the file location i can see that it has got the location of database where it was belong but question is why it is storing the old path here on the backup file. On the path "MSSQL$SOPHOS" is the instance of the SQL Server from where it was backed up. According to the Administrator's pocketbook on the microsoft web site we can restore a database on a completely new machine, then why is this error. Can anyone please help me.
Thanks very much.
We 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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

View 10 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile.
I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by,
1. Create the database with the same name.
2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so,
I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated.
If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
MMS
I have 20+ databases on the SQL Cluster. How can I give a user the permission to backup any database without giving sysadmin access ?
I dont want to make the user dbo on all databases either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello 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.
We backup the database using the following method
1. launch the DacIESvcCli.exe at specified time, which in-turn calls the service (southeast asia).
2. the bacpac is created and uploaded to the specified storage
However, after upgrading the Server to V12, it failed to create bacpac file in the storage, there are no errors/no logs/no information.
I know there isn't a backup feature but I was wondering if there was a way to back up a database?
Thanks!!!
I have a 20 GB SS2005 database that I would like to be replicated to a dev server for testing purposes. I might have some issues with the firewall blocking ports. I haven't read up on the specifics of how log shipping works yet, but I assume that is the best approach. A daily transfer would suffice.
A few options I am considering:
1. use the built in stuff, but I'm not sure it will work with our security settings, and if the trans logs are large it might be strained.
2. writing a small custom app to zip up the log file then ftp them down to the dev server. This could run nightly.
3. some third party util, such as FolderShare could transfer the log files
Any comments or suggestions?
