Please Help....backing Up Trn Logs
Aug 26, 2002
Scenario:
I have August22 full backup and August22 and August23 transactions log backups . I want to get the August23 and August23 full backup. So I performed a restore backup with August22 full backup and all the August22 trn backups. Then I backed up giving it August23 name and repeated the process with the August23 trn backups. But, I get an error saying that the transactions haven't been rolled foward far enough. But, I am not missing any trns! I will really be grateful if anyone would help.
thanks.

I have my SQL7 server running on NT4 server. Currently the transaction log backups are on the same server but I want to back these up to a Win2000
server in another building. When creating a Backup Device in Enterprise Manager on the NT server it cannot see the drive but not the folder I have created on the Win2000 server, even though I have shared this folder out and set the permissions. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

OS: Windows 2012 Enterprise
SQL Server: 2012 Enterprise
I was wondering if there is any way all SQL Server error log entries could be automatically written to Windows Event Log.Â

Hi,
In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.
Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.
Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.
Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.
What do you think? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.
Regards,
$wapnil

When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.
QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?
QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?
Thanks

server:
1. When I try to do that get this error:http://www.radiorient.net/errors/export_sql.gif
Why is that? and how can I fix it?
2. Should we add both files of the db (.MDF, and .LDF) or only the .MDF file?
Can please someone help me with this, Thanx.

I just got SQL 7.0 and was curious how other environments run their backup. I know ArcServe has a product that backs up open SQL databases and not sure how reliable this product was. Any thoughts would be appreciated .. thanks.

HiI'm hoping that some could point me in the right direction for "bestpractice" in:1) securely backing up a complete sql7 and 2000 server containing manydatabases.2) backing up an individual database3) Securing the transaction on the hour as a mile stone to return to in theevent of error or system failure.ThanksMark

Hey, please forgive me if my infomation source was incorrect. But a friend of mine mentioned to me he had hurd of a program, or code that will make an "install script" of your database. Basically it`ll back up all the tables on your server and if the worst case senario happens then you can run the file like an install script. Is this true? It sounds invalueable! If it isnt true, can someone tell me if it is possible to use code to create a "install script" of your own database? I am using "Microsoft SQL Server".Thanks in advance John

When backing up a database in MS SQL 7.0, there is a window that appears in the destination section of the backup window. In this window is where the filename appears that the backup will proceed to and to the right of this window are "add", "remove" and "contents" buttons.
If there are multiple names in this window, will the entire backup go to both files or does it split the backup between the two filenames.

TO backup a DTS package, does backing up MSDB take care of this or do the files need to be individually backed up?

I use SQL Server 2000 and I create scripts on a daily basis to do the following
1. Rename a table
2. Create table with original name and add new field
3. Copy data from renamed table to new table
4. Build indexes
-----------------------------------------
execute sp_rename ORIGINAL, OLD
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ORIGINAL] (
[A] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[B] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[C] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Notes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT INTO ORIGINAL (A, B, NOTES)
SELECT A, B, NOTES
FROM OLD
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ORIGINAL_A_B] ON [dbo].[ORIGINAL]([A], [B] DESC ) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
GO
-----------------------------------------
ON A TABLE WITH 100,000 RECORDS THIS KIND OF SCRIPT TAKES A LONG TIME TO DO THE INSERT/SELECT PART
I WOULD USE ALTER/ADD TO UPDATE THE TABLES, BUT MY SUPERIOR INSISTS THAT NOT HAVING TEXT FIELDS AS THE LAST FIELD IN THE TABLE WILL CAUSE QUERKY PROBLEMS WITH HIS SQL STATEMENTS
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS COULD BE TRUE?
IF SO,
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR DOING THIS SAME PROCESS TO ADD A NEW FIELD (C) BEFORE THE FINAL FIELD (NOTES - TEXT FIELD), AND BACKUP THE TABLE BUT WITHOUT IT TAKING SUCH A LONG TIME ON THE INSERT/SELECT PART?
Forgive me if I'm asking a lot, but I'm lost and these scripts take way too long for what seems like such a simple task.
Thanks,
Mitch

Hi,
I've recently created a maintenance plan, which backs up my database and transaction log. However I also have a Veritas (Backup Exec for Windows Servers) tape backup which runs at night and backs up my files. It is setup to backup the whole of my MSSQL DATA and BACKUP folders.
Today I went to do a test restore, and found that the tape backup contained nothing in the MSSQL DATA folder, but everything that was in the BACKUP folder. Is this because everything in the DATA folder is in an open state? On checking back, the tape backup has never held anything in the DATA folder. Should I be worried by this, or is it what you would expect, and is the SQL backup sufficient?
Thanks for any advice
Colin

Hi, not sure I have should ask this in here or in the VS forums - but here goes anyway!
My vb app is written using VS2005 with an SQL database. I'm now distributing this to users to use with SQL Express.
It's hard enough explaining to them how to attach the database without going into the backup routines etc!
So what I'd like to do is to have a "backup" button in my app, that backsup the database, trancates the log files & then shrinks the files.
Is this possible?

I'm having an ongoing fallout with the Operations team where I work about database backup strategy. Â They use vSphere (VM ware) to backup all the disks on the servers and included in this are the SQL backups. Â Now I don't really trust this because whenever I ask for a restore, which is very infrequently, they give me an mdf/ldf pair. Â To my mind this shows they are just backing up files and although these files can be re-attached this is not safe, as they were open when the backup was taken. Â Â What I would like to do is use native (or RedGate) backup to create a full backup and have the vSphere pick up the .BAK files.Â

HI All,
I am currently in a situation where I have been fed to the wolves to say the least.
My task is to take the current SQL server 05 we have running on a drive array partioned as C & D and rebuild it.
I need to have the current database backed up, as well as the unique permissions that are currently present on the database.
I then have to remove the hard drives from the RAID array, and replace them with Brand new ones. The OS will then have to be reinstalled, followed by the nessary updates and finally with SQL server.
I then have to import the database back to the new server build w/ the data and the permissions all intact.
Anyone have any idea of how I can go about doing this?
Steve

Hi, I am in a production database server. Data has been added and deleted via the web. So there is alot of traffice in and out of the database. How can I make a backup plan to make sure I am not lossing any input or deleted data . I am familiar with backing up a database in regular intervals, but I amnot sure if this is the best way in this senario.
How can I take advantage of the transaction log in restoring the database.
Thanks
