Prevent Backup And Restore On Different System

Sep 24, 2007



How do I prevent someone from backing up the data / copying the mdf and then mounting it from a different server or instance to gain access to the DB.

I do not have control over the physical file.

Basically, I want to make sure that only authorized applications and users can access the data.

Backup Restore - System Hangs When Changing Media (DVD)

Mar 15, 2008



My Vista system hangs immediately after I insert the second blank DVD. I'm doing a simple backup of my user files. I'm using Vista Premium, fully up to date with patches, minimal software installed because this system is 100% used as a Media Center. Hardware is off the shelf HP Media Center m8067n.

I checked Microsoft knowledgebase and no other similar cases popped up. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Restore Backup To Second System Without Overwriting Local Custom Views?

Apr 25, 2008

Is this possible?

here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the
backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?

I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.

TIA!

How To Prevent System Form Locking A Table In Case Of Large Insertion

May 2, 2008

Hi,

I found out that executing the procedure SP_INDEXOPTION and setting 'AllowRowLocks' to false i can prevent the sql server from locking rows in a table and 'AllowPageLocks' prevents from pages being locked. I need to preform same operation
in case of tables. I need to perform insertion operations concurrently and acquire required locks manually. Is there a way to stop sqlserver from acquiring locks on the table. I need to disable all the locks (row, page and table).

Thank you in advance.

Our database structure is a trade secret and we cant reveal the structure to the client.

DB Engine :: How To Prevent User Of DB Owner To Backup Database

Nov 6, 2015

vendor did a full backup for his database and put some folder not being backed up by TSM, he is the owner of the database, and delete his backup later. The backup is not copy only, all the differential and log backups taken are based on his FULL backup. so they cannot be restored.

QUESTION: To prevent this happen in the future, what is the normal practices? or any way to prevent db_owner to do the ad-hoc full backup? I am thinking of using DENY backup database, or write a policy  claiming no responsibility if vendor make it happen again.

Jun 25, 2015

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.

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.

Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?

Oct 14, 2007

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!

Restore All System Databases

Feb 8, 2007

Hi All,

I need to do a restore of all my system databases, master, msdb and model, and of course my production database.

The Windows 2003 OS and Sql Server 2005 have both been reinstalled on the server.

I understand I need to be in Single User Mode to restore the master database and I just wanted to clarify the procedure for a successful restore.

I've found this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190679.aspx which has instructions for restoring a master database.

So, all I have to do is:

1. Be in single user mode

2. Using SQLCMD run:
C:> sqlcmd
1> RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK = 'Z:MyBackLocationmaster.bak';
2> GO

From the instructions:
"After master is restored, the instance of SQL Server shuts down and terminates the sqlcmd process"

My Questions:
When I've restored the master do I repeat the steps above to restore the msdb and model databases? 

Are there any other pitfalls?

Thanks for any advice

Is It Neccessary To Restore System Database For New Server?

Dec 14, 2007

Hello, everyone:

I am going to remove a database server (SQL Server 2000 on Win 2003) to a brand new server, same as SQL Server 2000 on Win 2003. Do I need to restore system database(master, msdb, model and tempDB) to the new server? My understanding I don't have to because I will transfer DTSs and login user by DTS to new server, and run scripts to recreate jobs on new server. Is it correct?

Thanks

Operating System Error 1784 On DB Restore

Apr 11, 2007

Hi there. Could someone help me out.
I'm performing a log restore and getting the following error within the SQL Server Error Log.

During restore restart, an I/O error occurred on checkpoint file 'G:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackupdxsh.CKP' (operating system error 1784(error not found)). The statement is proceeding but cannot be restarted. Ensure that a valid storage location exists for the checkpoint file.

IT's a very basic Restore command and i do have not specified it to Restart.

Having checked the MS website for 1784 it suggests the following:

The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation

Can anyone tell me what is wrong here and why it is creating a checkpoint file or even what it is and how to overcome the error message.

TIA

Installing Windows Defender After A System Restore

Feb 6, 2008

I was running Windows Defender regularly as an add-on to the software supplied with my Sony laptop (2003). Then I had to execute a backdated System Restore to eradicate a recurring display omission on the Windows hardware screens and I lost the Defender program. I have now tried to start using Defender again. It downloads but won't run - errmess states it needs W Installer 3.1. I have downloaded the Windows.exe file for the Installer, but this has not made any difference. I cannot run Defender.
Anyone with any ideas ? Please keep it simple - I'm not a programmer !

Restore SMK And System Databases (credentials And Linked Servers)

Apr 28, 2008

Hi there



I have a concern about restore whole SQL server environment.



1st server:



x86 SQL Server 2005 EE SP2 + hotfix 3159 is installed on Windows 2003 SP1 R2. SQL Server is running under Local System Account. Server is not part of AD.



2nd server



Win XP SP2, x86 SQL Server 2005 DE SP2 + hotfix 3159. SQL Server is running under Local Admin Account. Server is part of AD. Server has Credentials and linked servers





I'm trying to move all databases from server 2 to server 1



For this I am doing:

1) Create backup SMK

2) Detach all user databases

3) Backup all system databases

4) Copy all this stuff to server 1

5) Run Server 1 in single-mode (-m)

6) Restore master database

7) Try to restore backup SMK that was done on step 1 and get this error message:



Msg 15329, Level 16, State 11, Line 2
The current master key cannot be decrypted. If this is a database master key, you should attempt to open it in the session before performing this operation. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation but the data encrypted by the old master key will be lost.


My understanding is that credential secrets, linked server login passwords are lost and should be recreated. DbMK can be restored using passwords.



As far as I know this can be avoided if the same domain account is using for both servers. But the question still this - if I have stand alone server, using local system account for the SQL Server service and have encrypted objects - I cannot restore SQL Server on another box (say in case disaster lost original one) without loosing credentials and linked servers even if I have all backups including backup of SMK.



Sounds gloomily for me. Any idea what I missed?

Backup System Databases

Feb 1, 2005

hi,

I have just started a new job and they have nightly backups of the master, msdb and model databases.

But why would you need a nightly backup of the model database? surely the model database never changes, so would a one time backup not be sufficient?

Please advise me if I am incorrect

Cheers

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)

Backup /Restore

May 24, 2001

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?
