Hi,I have an old 2000 bak file for a db that I would now like restoredonto sql server 2005. I keep erroring out though, this is what I'mdoing:Went to Restore Database in sql 2005, selected the db I want itrestored to, and File (say c: empxyz.bak)Checked the restore checkbox, went to options checked Overwrite theexisting database.Do I need to do anything else, maybe in the Restore the database filesas section? As those path are listed as:C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz.mdfC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz_log.ldfIf I just run it without updating those mdf and ldf paths, I keepgetting an error:Exclusive Access could not be obtained because the database is in use.Thanks.

My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Many thanks,
Caspar

Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable?
I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server.
Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it.
I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 SP4 database. Does anyone know, or have they run a back up on a older 2000 Server and then restored it to a 2005?
Thank you.

I am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message. "Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
What can I do to restore the database? Must it be backed up with SQL server 2000 and then restored with SQL Server 2005?
Please help!

I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,
Peter

I was running Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 2000. I put backups of all my SQL Server 2000 databases on hard disk d: and the operating system and applications on c:/. I then reformatted c:/ (but left d:/ intact) and installed Windows XP Home. Then I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition.
I would like to now restore the backups of the SQL Server 2000 databases (still intact on drive d:/) to SQL Server 2005, but I get a variety of error messages.
I suspect that I am going about this the wrong way. I have done several hours of research in the documentation without success. I cannot attach the SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 because it is a backup, not a database. I cannot migrate the databases as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 because (a) they are back-ups, and (b) I don't have SQL Server 2000 installed when I install SQL Server 2005.
Is there a solution?
TIA

Hi
We would like to install Sql 2005 Enterprise Edition (including database engine, reporting service, integration service and analysis service) as a sepearte instance on a server which already has Sql 2000 with reporting services and analysis services. We do not want to disturb the existing sql 2000 setup.
If we do that then what will happen to my earlier sql 2000 reporting service? Will it be upgraded to sql 2005 reporting service? I heard that reporting services are instance unaware application. Where will be the default reporting service database available?
Please help us.
Regards,

I am installing SQL 2000 on a brand new server. Once installed I will need to restore my db's from our current SQL 7.0 server. I know I can restore the user db's. I've read that you can not restore the MSDB and master db's. So What steps would I take to make sure I get all the info in these db's? I found an article on how to transfer logins and passwords, so that should get me my logins. I'm guessing I'll have to script up my packages /jobs somehow. How do I go about doing this? And what else am I missing that I will need to do in order for my master/msdb to contain everything that it contained on the SQl 7.0 server?
Also should I make the server name the same as the server name on the current box or do I have to make it another name? I'm talking about under the SQL server group.
Also I would like to keep the 7.0 version up for a bit and just make sure the 2000 side is working the way I want to . Our db are datawarehouse db that we use with another software package. So I will need to make changes there before I can totally turn it over to use the SQL 2000 db's One I've done this then I'll be ready for the switch. I will then restore the SQL 7.0 db again on the sql 2000 server and should be ready to go at that time.
What else am I missing. Any tips/precautions?

Hi...
I am trying to restore a week-old backup from a file of one database to a different (new) database for development. This is something that I do on a regular basis and have never had issues before. Now it is failing using both QE and Enterprise Mangler and am getting this error message:
Server: Msg 3135, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set in file 'D:BACKUPS......bak' was created by BACKUP DATABASE...FILE=<name> and cannot be used for this restore operation.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I have tried this....
RESTORE DATABASE temp_new_db
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH REPLACE
And this....
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE temp_bio_remote
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Original_DB' TO 'D: emp_new_db.mdf',
MOVE 'Original_DB_log' TO 'D: emp_new_db..ldf'
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Hello All,I am not a SQL Server expert, but I have been put in a prettyprecarious situtation and I am close to panicking :( I have need torestore a SQL database from backup (through Enterprise Manager). Thedatabase got corrupt and I detached it, then was unable to attach itagain. I created a new database with the same name and file names torestore to. When I go to All Tasks, restore, and restore from apreviously run full backup, it says "SQL Server is currently in theprocess of restoring the backup set," but the progress bar does notbudge. I look in the data folder and see the full sized transactionlogs (35GB I know, need to be shrunk). The .mdf file remains at 1024Kthough. Do I need to just wait longer? Normally when restoring from aSQL Server .BAK file, the progress is shown to me as it goes along. Ido not know what to do here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Iapologize for sounding like a newbie, but with SQL Server, I amdefinitely in that category.Thanks,-D

Dear all,
I have a backup for SQL server database.
It use differential backup.
I use following steps to restore the database to one of date's backup,because I want to monitor this date's data.
(1) restore a set of the complete backup first.
and select " Leave database nonoperational but about to restore additional transaction logs"
(2) restore one of date's backup, the backup number is 70.
if I restore the backup number by sequence after a set of complete backup is restore, it is ok
But I can not restore them by sequence,because there are many diffenential backup.
The error message is :
Cannot apply the backup on device 'c: empCk2006backup' to database 'CK2006'.
Restore database is terminating abnornally.
I have tried to use following choice :
Force restore over existing database
Leave database operational. NO additional tracsaction logs can be restored.
Leave database nonoperational but able to restore additional transaction logs.
Leave database read-only and able to restore addtional transaciton logs.
But it also failed to restore.
How should I do?
Thanks you
