Permissions, Backup, Restore
Apr 10, 2000
On a member server, Server1, (not part of any domain) I've backed up my SQL 7 db to a local disk using a temporary device.
I go to a second member server on the same network, Server2, and try to do a restore from that file.
Fom ISQL, I get the error message that the device is offline.
The SQL server error log on Server 2 states that the file failed to open
with operating system error 1326 (logon failure: unknown user or bad password.)
I've tried taking ownership from server 2 but that does nothing. I'd like to copy the entire file to server 2 except that server 2 does not have enough disk
space for both it and the database it would recreate simultaneously.
I am signed on as administrator on both boxes.
Any thoughts?

We use Netbackup for our SQL servers to backup and restore databases. I would like the service account used by Netbackup to have as limited permissions as possible. The account should be able to backup and restore a db without being able to read any of the content. Right now the account jobs fail if the service account is not in the sysadmin role.
I removed the account from sysadmin and limited it to dbcreator and public but the job fail.
How to setup an account so that people who know the service account password can't log in with that account and read db information?

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.

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.

I hope this is a nice fat ball that someone can knock out of the park...
We've recently started to upgrade our development servers from Win2k to Windows Server 2003. Naturally, the SQL Server boxes receive MS SQL Server 2000 SP3a. Our database users now cannot restore to their own databases.
We usually grant each login the 'dbcreator' server role (and hope the developers are too busy to realize everything else it allows). Each user's login is dbo in his/her database. Typically one developer will produce a reference dump file, and all the other developers load it as they need it.
If a user executes a restore, it trundles along happily until almost the end, spitting out an error. Here's a sample:
100 percent restored.
Processed 376 pages for database 'bobdb', file 'Data' on file 1.
Server: Msg 916, Level 14, State 1, Line 68
Server user 'bob' is not a valid user in database 'bobdb'.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 68
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Oh, and this worked with SQL Server 2000 (any patch) on Windows 2000 Server.
Developers reload their databases so often (and DBA resources are so spare) that routing all restores through a DBA will bring development to its knees. So, each developer must be able to restore dumps to their own database.
Help? Which server roles/permissions/GRANTs do we need to provide our developers with the power they need? (and not the powers they don't need!)

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!
SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server x64.

Hi,
If we were to assign permissions to a backup agent such as Backup Exec to backup the databases on the SQL server, what role would give the least amount but sufficient permissions to perform the backup? I know domain admin would make the agent a local admin and therefore allow it to back up the database but is there a role available to allow backup only?
Please note that I'm referring to a domain account used by Backup Exec to directly backup the databases rather than sql server agent.
Thanks.

Hi There
The backup database permission seems to only be at a database level , grant backup database and db_backupoperator role only exist at a database level.
However i want to permission to a user to backup any database, and he must not be a sysadmin. I cannot find a server level role that can backup databases.
How can i do this? There are alot of database so granting the permission for every database seems a waste of time, also one would have to remember every time a new database is created to grant this permission.
There must be a way to do this at a server level?
Thanx

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a problem with SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I have a backup file (.bak file extension) of a SQL database saved in the directory c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLackup
When I attempt to restore this file (by r/clicking on the database, selecting Tasks, Restore, Database and selecting File as the backup media), I get the message "Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that the necessary security privileges and that the path of file exists".
I have checked the ACL on the backup directory and the SQL Server 2005 local user has full control over that directory and all files within it.
Am I just being a numpty here, or is there something fundamentally wrong somewhere?

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"
Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO NetworkDevice
it gives me an error saying
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I don't really understand what's goin.
basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.
Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.
Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.
i appriciate your support and help .

Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.

WE are using sqlserver 7.0 & backing full database using Seagate backup ver 7.2 on a tape drive.
I have following questions if anybody could help
1]How do I restore a single table backup from the tape backup without restoring the full database first on the disk & then running import/export
utility to transfer/ copy that particular table to production database.
Is there any third party backup utility which allows for a single / selected table restore?
2]What are the steps or if anybody has the script for tansfering logins/users
with permisssions & without deencrypting the passwords when transfering from one server to another server.

I have a question related to SQL 6.5. We have a SMS 1.2 server which uses SQL 6.5. Two months ago, one of the NT admins did a NT backup of SMS database(sms.db) and then formatted the HD. Now, we need the SMS server back again. We installed the NT server, SMS server snd SQL server on that machine. The problem is, we now want the SQL server to recognize our SMS database (SMS.db file). We don't have any SQL backup of any database (that means, no copy of master database, no copy of other databases. IS THERE A WAY TO RECOVER SO THAT SQL SERVER RECPGNIZE THE SMS DATABASE(SMS.DB FILE)
Please help me out.

Hi All,
I've been working developing database on my PC @ work, and sadly enough would like to spend some time on it at home. To these ends I backed up the database at work where it restored fine. However have tried to restore the file at home and am getting an error saying the operating system cannot access the file. Is this something to do with NTFS permissions?
Thanks in advance

hi,
I want to know if there is a way - other than backup and restore database (because restore takes too much time as the DB size grows) - to transfer all the data from one database on the server to another on a local SQLServer. it has to be done daily, so that the manager will always have an updated copy of the data on his machine.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
