RESTORE LOG WITH NORECOVERY
Sep 19, 1999
Novice question ...
We are running a simple replication whereby we backup the PROD server once, restore onto STANDBY and then run a SP every 5 minutes on PROD that dumps the transaction log and then calls a SP on STANDBY to apply the log to STANDBY. My problem is that both the initial restore and all subsequent logs appear to need the "WITH NORECOVERY" option which leaves the database unusable. BOL says to 'use "WITH NORECOVERY" on all log restorations except the final'. Problem is, because the whole process is automatic, we have no way of telling which of the logs is going to be the last !!!. So, my questions are, 1) am I doing it right and 2)what would happen if a log was applied twice, would SQL know and not apply it ?

Hi All,
im trying to set up database mirroring and in the initial phase of database restoring im getting some problem.
the scenario is .
1- i create a tempDB on server1(which will be principal server) and backup full and transaction logs.
2- create tempDB in server 2( going to be used as mirror) .
3- restore the full backup of "tempDB" from server1 with NORECOVERY option.
this step results in a message box showing that the restore was successfull...
but the database explorer( management studio) shows the tempDB in (restoring ...) state. and no more operations can be performed with this Database. ( because teh databse isin restoring mode).. please help what this issue is?
Thanks In Advance for any suggestions

Hello all,
I just restored a SQL 7 db using the Enterprise Manager GUI interface. I
selected the "Leave database nonoperational, but able to restore additional transaction logs" option. I should not have selected this option as I do not have any transaction logs to apply.
Anyway, my question is... Is there a way to mark the database as opertational without running the restore again?
Thanks,
Corey

I cannot restore a backup file of the transaction log without getting the following message:
ODBC SQL State: 42000
The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step.
I have tried to do this in Enterprise manager and with the following script with the same results:
RESTORE Log TestDB
FROM DISK='D:MSSQL7BACKUPMMTrans'
WITH NORECOVERY
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can anyone help me with this issue? I restored a full backup with NORECOVERY because I need to restore the differentials as well but I have not been able to access the db. No matter what I seem to try i receive the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Does anyone know what I need to do?
Thank you in advance.

We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.

In Windows Server 2012. How do I do a System Restore to a previous restore point?I need to install the 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle Client Install for connections in SSIS and to create Oracle Linked Servers.
If you make a mistake it is not fun removing it. Sometimes it corrupts the machine and it is difficult to uninstall since there is not an Oracle Universal installer for Oracle 11g.If you install the 32 bit before the 64 you mess up the machine.how to create a restore point.

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 have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

Hi,
I have a SQL 7 database that uses one MDF, two NDF files. I backed up this database and am trying to restore it another database on another server. However this target database is only using one MDF. I assumed it was possible to use the WITH MOVE option and move the two NDF's into this MDF but it doesn't work.
Anyone know how I can achive this?
Thanks,
Sundar.

Windows NT 4 EE - SQL 7.0 SP1
We use two backup methods:
1: thru SQL Server jobs (Maintenance Plans),
2: thru ARCServe IT (CA).
I think that there are 4 tables ( BackupMediaFamily, backupset,backupfile,backupmediaset)in msdb that are updated everytime a backup is taken.
This happen even with the ARCServe IT backups.
The result is that when I go thru EM to do a restore operation I find a list of all my SQL backups + the ARCServe IT backups in the "general tab" of RESTORE DATABASE of EM.
Suppose I have this situation:
2001/06/11 21:00 full SQL backup (on disk)
2001/06/12 12:00 full ARCServe IT backup (on tape)
2001/06/12 17:00 differential SQL Backup (on disk)
If I want to combine my last differential disk backup with my full SQL disk Backup,there is no way to do it thru EM, because as soon as I choose the differential backup, EM associate this one with the ARCServe IT backup that is taken on tape.
So, I dont need the ARCServe IT informations on my msdb tables. Is there a way to resolve this problem and thererfore eliminate the ARCServe IT informations on msdb tables?
Thank you very much!

Hi Guys.
I have a huge database (40GB) in production.
Each night i am restoring the database into the
test server. In the test server daily there will
be many changes (creating generic tables to dump all
the values to run report against the common tables).
I overwrite by restoring the complete database.
Instead of this complete restore I like to do something similar to transactional replication.
(Loading the database once in life time and just restore only the
transaction log)
I cant do the tran-replication cas' no tables has primary key and
it is a standard edition.
I tried to run a SP the loads the database and all tran logs.
the database is unusable until all the logs are restored
(no/recovery syntax).
Any ideas?

I need to create a test environment and want to restore the master, msdb and user dbs to another server. SQL Server and SQL Exec are using the same domain account which is also a member of the Local Admin group. I am using EM to do the restore. When I select restore, from device, then add file and I add the location of the device to the remote server, I do not get a list of the files from the device in the history listing. The RESTORE NOW button is grayed and I'm logged in as sa. Can I restore a database from a device used by another server? Please HELP!

from disk = 'c:ServerA.BAK'

When I ran this syntax, I got error " Logical file 'ServerB_Data' is not part of database 'ServerB'. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names."
What is correct syntax for this restore?
Thank you in advance.
