How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File
Apr 1, 2008
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.

Now i must restore a database from a backup file of MS SQL Sever 6.5,but this file is bad. When i restore database from this file, SQL Server tell me that the format of this file is not file format of SQL Server 6.5.So that I must repair this backup file firstly. I don't know database file format of SQL Server 6.5.

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,

Hello,
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 am confused regarding why the default behavior of this option is to use file no 1 if the option is not specified? If I take two backups on different days, weeks, months, etc. and write them to the same Backup set, the second and most recent backup by the way gets the higher file number (position) as one would expect. What is incomprehensible to me is why the decision was made to restore the oldest backup from the backup set if you do not specify with file no? Seems like common sense that I would NEVER want to restore the oldest backup by default and would most-likely always want to restore the most recent backup by default!
If anyone has suggestions on how I could suggest that the behavior of this option be changed, I would appreciate it, as this has caused me much pain.

Hi everybody,
On executing the RESTORE command of SQL Server to restore from a backup of 78.3 MB, the "Server Application Unavailable" error message comes up.The error message in the Application log is as follows:aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 2184) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the 152 MB (60 percent of available RAM).
However using Query Analyser of SQL Server I am able to restore the database.
What is the solution to this problem?

I can run this example from SQL Book Online from sql query analyzer. I can build the TestDB database.
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind
TO DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak'
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE TestDB
FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Northwind' TO 'c: est estdb.mdf',
MOVE 'Northwind_log' TO 'c: est estdb.ldf'
GO
But... When I build stored procedure and call it through VB6. I've got the gray database symbol along with message TestDB (Loading/Suspecting)
Why I cannot run these commands through VB6

I created a dummy database (TomsTest) and then I try to restore my other database "DEV" to it.Normally, you have to use the Move for both the mdf and ldf files to tell it to restore to another database.But the message I am getting is: The file 'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'TomsTest'.
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [DEV] FROM DISK = N'D:SQLBackupDEV_backup_2014_05_28.bak' WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N'Dev' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf',
MOVE N'DEV_log' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 5
Of course it is in use, that's always the case. Even if I put it in single use mode, it still doesn't work.I tried it on another machine and had the same problem. Not sure why. If I call it the same name, it works fine but I don't want to overwrite the original database, I just need to get some data from the backup.

I 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!

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
Jane

I have a production SQLServer 6.5 on Nt 3.51 SP4
that had problems two weeks ago, an I had
to restore the backup of the previous night.
we are testing our disaster recovery procedures
on another server, identical to the production
one.
We have installed NT 3.51 SP 4 and SQLServer 6.5
in the same order and with the same configuration
of the production server,
but i can't restore on the test server the
backup files that i have succesfully resotred
on the production server.
we make the SQLServer back up on file ( and
then we backup those files on tape with
NT backup) so I don't think is a problem
of HW Tape Bios or Compression because
i have tried to resotre directly the
files without taking them from a tape.
1)
I have created a new database , without data,
with the same devices, in megabyte, that I
have on the production server.
than from enterprise manager I have started
the restore from file, and after two seconds
everything stops, and I can't even shutdown
the task but i MUST turn the server off
using the power button.
when I start the server again there are
no specific errors in the event log nor
in the SQLServer error log.
The db i was trying to restore is marked
"loading" and it is not available.
This same procedure works perfectly
on the production server.
2)
I have then created another db on the test
server, and I have succesfully tranferred
( but not resotred) the produciont db
onto the test one, using the transfer menu
on SQLEnterprise manager.
3)
another strange thing is that I have tryed
to expand the tempdb, which is only 2 mega
by default, but whenever i try to expand it,
using enterprise manager, only the LOG area
of tempdb sucessfully expands, not the data area.
I don't know if this behaviour is related
to the unsuccesfull restore or if
it is another problem.
i have checked the sort order and character set
of the 2 servers and they are the same.
thanks in advance for any help.

My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deletedÂ
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
  BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.

This script will read the contents of a DB backup file, and generate a restore command.
Set the value of parameter @backup_path to point to the backup file, run in Query Analyzer, cut/paste the output into another Query Analyzer window, modify as necessary, and run.
This is just a barebones script to demo how this can be done. Modify as necessary to meet your own needs.
Works in SQL 2000 and 7.0. May work in SQL 2005, but it is not tested.

We are doing the following steps:-
1. Weekly Full Bckup
2.Daily Differential backup
3.hr Log back up
The following command works fine for all the Backups. it means backup file is fine.
RESTORE FILELISTONLY from DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ full.BAK'
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ ull.BAK'
RESTORE LABELONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
Also The full back up restoration works fine:
RESTORE DATABASE Test3 FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
WITH MOVE 'Test2_Data' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Data.MDF',
MOVE 'Test2_Log' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Log.LDF',

I checked the SQL Server Log no error msg corresponding Differential backup restore.
I don't know how to proceed further.Can any one guide me how to over come this..

I am trying to create sql code that restores a backup of a master database to a new database on the same server. It “seems” to run correctly as no errors are produced. However, the most recent updates to the master database are not present in the new databases. All databases are using the Full recovery model. What is really strange is that if I do (what I think is) the same function in Enterprise Administrator, the restore works fine! For both methods I used the same backup file!
Any and all help is sincerely appreciated.
The master databases from which the backups are made start with “MODTRNMaster”
The databases which are created from the restores start with “M1_” and “M2_”. (We call them training room databases.)
My script for backing up the master databases:
-- Backup the master training database
backup database MODTRNMaster
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_IMG
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_IMG.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_MNC
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_MNC.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_VM
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_VM.bak'
go
This is the restore script for restoring the first training room databases. I’m hoping that there is just something simple that I’m overlooking in these restore statements! J
-- Restore the backup of the master training database into the
-- training room #1 database.
use master
go
drop database M1_MSLH
go
restore database M1_MSLH
from disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
with move 'DEV5_Data' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH.mdf',
move 'MM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_1.mdf',
move 'AMB' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_2.mdf',
move 'DM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_3.mdf',
move 'IMM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_4.mdf',
move 'ED' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_5.mdf',
move 'DEV5_Log' to 'f:mssqllogM1_MLSH_log.ldf',
recovery
go
Thanks in advance

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

Not sure this is the correct forum, but I'll give it a go. I am in the process of deploying a series of databases from a development environment to a production environment. I've done some searching around best practices, but haven't found anything specifically calls out what is best. I am looking to find out the best approach for moving the code/tables/views/SP's, well everything from my dev environment to the production environment. Due to the complexity and large number of objects to be created, would a backup/restore to the production server be more prudent than creating a batch file type thing that creates all the objects through a series of scripts?

My DBA does a backup of the database and then it gets encrypted and compressed using PGP. This file is sent via ftp to an outside vendor. When they receive it, decrypt it and try to restore, they get the following error:
The media family on device c:dynaxoto1927131153 is incorrectly formed. Sql Server cannot process this media family”
We have tried the process in reverse where we have the vendor send us a file and it works fine.
Please provide some insight.

Hi i've tried a few remote administration tools including Microsofts own Web Data Administrator for SQL server... but none of them seem to do what is essential to me and that is backup/restore databases to a file.
Does anyone know of a free tool that can just backup/restore databases remotely. I dont really want to have to use export/import data as things like triggers get lost when using Microsoft Web data administrator.
A free web tool written in ASP.NET or ASP would be ideal. But PHP would also be fine.
I can ftp to the webserver in question to download the backup file and upload a file which needs restoring but i need a web tool to carry out the operations.
Or if there is another method that would work please let me know.
Thanks
