How Can I Restore A SQL 2005 Database On My SQL 2000?
Aug 4, 2007My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Many thanks,
Caspar

SQL 2000 - Restore From Log Shipped Database After Disaster.
Jul 21, 2007Is there any need to re-apply SP4 to sql server 2000 if a user database has been restored to it from a non-service packed sql 2000 server.
We inadvertantly did this after a flood and later realised that the log shipped server at the other site was not not service packed.
Does service pack 4 update user databases in any way?
We have not had any major issues with this but I need to rule this out when considering performance issues and so on that have been raised since the recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Need To Back Up && Restore A SQL Server Database When Only SQL 2000 And 2005 Are Available.
Oct 22, 2007I am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message. "Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
What can I do to restore the database? Must it be backed up with SQL server 2000 and then restored with SQL Server 2005?
Please help!
Bloated Database Wont Shrink After Backup/restore SQL 2000
Jul 20, 2005Help,I have a database that has a data file of 2GB and a log file of 31GB.In enterprise manager, when I choose shrink it says there is 30GB ofunused space. When I shrink the database, it does not shrink,(however it says it has completed).I've done a complete backup, tried shrink again, no dice. I thenbacked up the database (which the backup was 1.9GB), deleted thedatabase and made a new database with 2,048MB for the data and samefor the log file.When I restore, the log file jumps up to 31GB again. When I check thespace when I use the shrink, it again says I have 30GB of unusedspace.How on earth do I get this file to shrink?I've been able to shrink other databases, but not this one.TIARob
View 1 Replies View RelatedBackup/Restore Vs Attach/Detach 2000 Database To 2005
Jul 15, 2006I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,

RESTORE DATABASE Timeout In SQL 2000 With Large Backup Files
Sep 11, 2007
Hello,
I am attempting to restore the database from within VB.NET application I am making the following 3 calls:
RESTORE FileListOnly FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'
USE Master RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat' WITH NORECOVERY, MOVE 'MyDatabase' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMyDatabase.mdf', MOVE 'MyDatabase_log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataLDFMyDatabase.ldf', REPLACE
RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'
using SMO. This logic works fine with small *.dat files, however when using *.dat file of about 4Gb I get an error on the 3d restore database call:
ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.

The same program/logic also works fine when I use MS SQL 2005 and it runs fine from MS SQL 2005 Query Analyzer for both 2005 and 2000 databases. There seem to be only problem with MS SQL 2000 from within VB.NET. Anybody has any idea? I'd appreciate any response. Thanks

RESTORE Database - Database In Use, Restore Fails
Nov 19, 199911/19
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??

New Sql 2000 Install - Then Restore Sql 7.0 Db's
Jul 1, 2002Junior Member

Joined: Jun 2002
Monday July 01, 2002 11:00 AM (NEW!)
I am installing SQL 2000 on a brand new server. Once installed I will need to restore my db's from our current SQL 7.0 server. I know I can restore the user db's. I've read that you can not restore the MSDB and master db's. So What steps would I take to make sure I get all the info in these db's? I found an article on how to transfer logins and passwords, so that should get me my logins. I'm guessing I'll have to script up my packages /jobs somehow. How do I go about doing this? And what else am I missing that I will need to do in order for my master/msdb to contain everything that it contained on the SQl 7.0 server?
Also should I make the server name the same as the server name on the current box or do I have to make it another name? I'm talking about under the SQL server group.
Also I would like to keep the 7.0 version up for a bit and just make sure the 2000 side is working the way I want to . Our db are datawarehouse db that we use with another software package. So I will need to make changes there before I can totally turn it over to use the SQL 2000 db's One I've done this then I'll be ready for the switch. I will then restore the SQL 7.0 db again on the sql 2000 server and should be ready to go at that time.
What else am I missing. Any tips/precautions?
SQL 2000 Restore Problem
Feb 10, 2004Hi...
I am trying to restore a week-old backup from a file of one database to a different (new) database for development. This is something that I do on a regular basis and have never had issues before. Now it is failing using both QE and Enterprise Mangler and am getting this error message:
Server: Msg 3135, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set in file 'D:BACKUPS......bak' was created by BACKUP DATABASE...FILE=<name> and cannot be used for this restore operation.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I have tried this....
RESTORE DATABASE temp_new_db
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH REPLACE
And this....
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE temp_bio_remote
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Original_DB' TO 'D: emp_new_db.mdf',
MOVE 'Original_DB_log' TO 'D: emp_new_db..ldf'
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

SQL Server 2000 Cannot Restore
Jul 23, 2005Hello All,I am not a SQL Server expert, but I have been put in a prettyprecarious situtation and I am close to panicking :( I have need torestore a SQL database from backup (through Enterprise Manager). Thedatabase got corrupt and I detached it, then was unable to attach itagain. I created a new database with the same name and file names torestore to. When I go to All Tasks, restore, and restore from apreviously run full backup, it says "SQL Server is currently in theprocess of restoring the backup set," but the progress bar does notbudge. I look in the data folder and see the full sized transactionlogs (35GB I know, need to be shrunk). The .mdf file remains at 1024Kthough. Do I need to just wait longer? Normally when restoring from aSQL Server .BAK file, the progress is shown to me as it goes along. Ido not know what to do here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Iapologize for sounding like a newbie, but with SQL Server, I amdefinitely in that category.Thanks,-D

Sql Server 2000 Restore
Aug 15, 2007Dear all,
I have a backup for SQL server database.
It use differential backup.
I use following steps to restore the database to one of date's backup,because I want to monitor this date's data.
(1) restore a set of the complete backup first.
and select " Leave database nonoperational but about to restore additional transaction logs"
(2) restore one of date's backup, the backup number is 70.
if I restore the backup number by sequence after a set of complete backup is restore, it is ok
But I can not restore them by sequence,because there are many diffenential backup.
The error message is :
Cannot apply the backup on device 'c: empCk2006backup' to database 'CK2006'.
Restore database is terminating abnornally.
I have tried to use following choice :
Force restore over existing database
Leave database operational. NO additional tracsaction logs can be restored.
Leave database nonoperational but able to restore additional transaction logs.
Leave database read-only and able to restore addtional transaciton logs.
But it also failed to restore.
How should I do?
Thanks you

SQL Server 2000 Backup / Restore Bug
Nov 24, 2005Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards

DTS Restore Problem In SQL Server 2000
Mar 20, 2007scott writes "Hi!
I have been asked to write a DTS package that copies a database (call it DBOLD) to another database (call it DBNEW) every night. I do the following:
BACKUP DATABASE DBOLD_App
TO DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak'
WITH INIT
GO
Then I do the following:
RESTORE DATABASE DBNEW FROM DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak' WITH MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Data'
TO '... the new one .MDF', REPLACE,
MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Log' TO '... the new one.LDF', REPLACE
The RESTORE often (but not always) fails, particularly if 2005 Reporting Services has queried the data in DBNEW during the day. There should be no-one using the DBNEW overnight when the DTS package runs, so I have permission to "toss then overboard" if they are (note - DBNEW is effectively read-only, for reporting purposes, and is completely refreshed each night, so lost updates etc are not an issue).
How can I force the restore to proceed? I've tried dropping, detaching/attaching but the existing connection(s) apparently prevent this. I dont care about the contents of DBNEW as the data is conmpletely refreshed each night.
If you have any ideas I would be pleased to hear them...
Thanks in advance...Scott"
