I'm having a problem restoring from a SQL Server 7.0 backup file.
Here is the SQL statement:
RESTORE DATABASE NewDB
FROM DISK = 'C:ackupMyBackup.bak'
It generates this error:
Server: Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The RAID set for database 'NewDB' is missing member number 2.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
The backup was made to a disk file on a Windows 98 machine running Desktop SQL. I'm trying to restore to a WINNT machine, but I don't think this should cause any problems.
The error message is bizarre since I don't have a RAID array on either machine.
I've also tried restoring to the exact same machine that created the backup file but a different DB name and got the same error.
I've tried creating the NewDB database before running the script and tried
using the Restore utility in Enterprise manager with the same results.
Hi, I have a 40G database that I am trying to restore from tape. The original server has sp2 on it. On my first try I got a corruption error while restoring the database and later found on technet that a backup from a database that has "auto shrink" option enabled, might give corruption error 9004, and this is fixed with sp3. So I turned off the auto shrink off, took another tape bacdkup and tried restoring again, and this time I got the following error; ... Processed 19 pages for database 'AGENT_CONNECT', file 'agent_connect_5_Log' on file 1. Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1

I am getting an error when trying to restore a database. The file names and paths look to be correct. The error states that there is insufficient disk space, but the database being restored is 1.4GB and the amount of space on that drive is 17GB, so this should not be an issue. Does any one have any ideas?
Hi all, I'm getting this error when trying to restore a database:
"Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:program filesMS SQL serverMSSQLdataDBname.mdf' may be incorrect. File 'DBname_dat' cannot be restored to 'E:program filesMS SQL serverMSSQLdataDBname.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file. Device activation error. The physical file name 'E:program filesMS SQL serverMSSQLdataDBname.ldf' may be incorrect. File 'DBname_log' cannot be restored to 'E:program filesMS SQL serverMSSQLdataDBname.ldf'.

What I'm doing is, on another personal sql server a backup was created of this DB, then sent to me. Now I created a new DB named after the one that was backed up. Then I go to restore the DB into the one I created. But i get this error. How can I trouble-shoot this?

Hi,While restoring the log we receive a message after about 30 minutes:Processed 1152109 pages for database 'restest', file 'sales_Log' onfile 1Server: Msg 9004, Leverl 21, State 20, Line 3An error occurred while processing the log for database ' '.It is unclear why the databasename is an empty string, I guess there must besomething corrupt hereo or a bug.These are the steps we followed:- restore database with norecovery (to different database)- restore the log with recoveryThe database stays un-accessable after the restore log, so it seems therewas no recovery done.When I look at the files I see a restest_Log with about the same sizeof the log we try to restore. It is unclear if the restore databaseput this file here, or it is created during the restore log.Someone has a clue?Regards,Rene

I try to restore a backup copy of production database into development database, this is our routine process, which is scheduled every night, at the end of the restore process, development database is set to SIMPLE and log file is truncated. It works fine, but today the process failed because backup file is corrupted, so the database is in loading state, and I used the following restore command to restore database from another good copy of backup file:
restore database devcopy from disk='c:dev.BAK' with move 'dev_data' to 'G:DBFilesdevCopy_Data.MDF', move 'dev_Log' to 'F:DBFILESdevCopy_Log.LDF', replace
I got an error messge:

Hi all i create a setup project with visual studio 2005. In this project i install cassini, sqlexpress, ajax and my site. After this i have to restore a database i use for my application.
if i try to restore it in two machines (XP-Vista) where i have already installed sql server it works fine but when i try to restore it in a virgin machine i have a "Restore failed for Server 'MyServer' " error
So i suppose it's a problem of permission for user or is locked something in sqlexpress while it isn't in sql server I try to change "Built-in account" in Configuration Manager from Network service to Local System but nothig someone can help me? thanks Marco
I am trying to restore and SQL 2000 database into a new SQL 2005 database. I performed by SQL 2000 backup and created a blank database FERS_Production in SQL 2005. FERS_Production was the original name of the database in the SQL 2000 instance.
I have tried giving the new database the same name as the original and a different name to the original database
(Below is the scripted T-SQL that I get from the DB Admin tool
RESTORE DATABASE [Fers_Production] FILE = N'FERS_Production_dat', FILE = N'FERS_Production_log' FROM DISK = N'D:Microsoft SQL Server (2000)MSSQLBackupFers_ProductionFers_Production_db_200607270206.BAK' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10 GO
When I run this I get the following error.
Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Fers_Production' database. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Other searches I have performed trying to fix this problem have said to use the REPLACE clause with the RESTORE DATABASE command, but as you can see I am doing that.
Also I no longer have SQL 2000 installed so I cannot try to do a DTS copy which was another suggestion I came across.
I having a problem when trying to restore a database. there were around 10 databases, but one is giving the following error and restore fails, will be great if someone helps..
I also tried taking the backup to another site having SQL 2005 Standard edition, the same error comes.
