Filelistonly Vs Verifyonly
Jul 23, 2005Hello all. Does anyone know if a successful completion of a 'restorefilelistonly' command would indicate that a backup file is valid? I'venoticed some of our backup jobs failing during the verify phase of themaintenenace plan because of network issues, and I'd like a quick way tocheck if the backup is valid because some of the backup files take hours toverify. I searched MS Support and they don't seem to have any info on this.TW

Transact SQL :: Backup / Restore Tools Which Can Restore Multiple Environments
Jun 25, 2015I 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.
Database Restore Failed, Now Inaccessible And Can Not Restore.
Apr 27, 2007I 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???

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??

Anyone know how I can achive this?

Apr 6, 2001How can I if possible restore a backup from tape(taken from databaseA)

Restore DB
Jun 12, 2001Windows 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!

SQL 7 Restore

View 2 Replies View RelatedRestore....
Nov 14, 2000Hi 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?

6.5 Restore
Aug 31, 2004Hi all,
I'm trying to move a SQL Server 6.5 database from one almost extinct NT4 box, to a whizz-bang only-almost-dead NT4 box. These boxes live in different domains, and CANNOT be networked together.
The original box has a daily backup routine that runs daily, with no errors. A colleague copied the data, log files and a single backup file from the overnight job from the original box, to the "new" box over the weekend, but when I go to restore the database from the backup file, the new installation doesn't seem to recognise a backup within this file. We have a backup file from that database that is about 2 years old, which restores perfectly well, but obviously, doesn't quite meet our needs data wise.
Is there an sp_attachdb (or equivalent) in SQL Server 6.5 that I can use to create a new database with the orignal data and log file??
