Restore Master Database From 64bit Sql Server To 32 Bit Server
Jul 23, 2005
Hi,
We are planning to create a prod environment on our Dev server, by
creating a new named instance on DEV. Our prod server is running on
sql enterprise edition 64bit and dev on SQl enterprise 32bit.
Could we copy all the databases from prod server including
Master,msdb,model onto our dev server, and bring up all the databases?
Does Master store information about the version of SQl server?
I have never done this in a DR scenario before. What I used to do in SQL Server 2000 was apply the logins to a new installation of SQL 2000 then recover the application databases. I'm using 2005 now and I'm in a different mode where I would like to be able to recover the system (master, model, msdb) to a different server with the same SQL Server 2005 build ---- 9.0.3054. I'm following the procedures from Microsoft where they state to place the instance in single user mode first then invoke SQLCMD then perform the restore. Sounds simple enough. C:> SQLCMD > RESTORE DATABASE MASTER from DISK = 'Z:MINIDRmaster_backup_200804200315.bak'
The console is coming back with a message that the backup set holds a backup other than the existing master database. So I suppose that this cannot be done and is only intended for recovery on the same instance.
I have a fresh install of sqlExpress and Management Studio Express on my test server. I want to restore my master database from backup.
From the command prompt I set the Sqlservr -s SQLEXPRESS -m
Then I opened another comand prompt and ran my SQLCMD script to restore the Master Database.
here is the sql script: RESTORE DATABASE [Master] FROM DISK = N'E:COPLEYNEWSDATABASEBACKUPMaster.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'mastlog' TO N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAMaster_1.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO
I recieve the following error.
Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Master' dat abase. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
How do I restore a Master Database on SQL Express?
I have a full backup from ServerA. I then put ServerB in single user mode and try to restore the backup from ServerA. (both are identical servers but have different names)
[*- From command prompt using sqlcmd -*]
USE master GO RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPSserverA.bak' GO
Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Server MSSQL1, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'master' database.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server MSSQL1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Any ideas on forcing the restore through T-SQL? The restore works fine from a master backup from itself (ServerB).
Not sure where to post this. How do I restore the master database to a brand new server that has a different name than the server the master currently resides on? I am using SQL Server 2005.
Please advise me about restore a master database from production to test server.
The reason to do this because I need to test and evaluate some login in master database.
I tried to restore master database to test server, but I got some errors regarding about user databases are not exists in test server. I don't want to restore user databases, I only need master database for evaluate user login.
We have a 64bit installation of SQL Server (SSIS, SSAS) running and working fine. There is a requirement to install 64bit SSRS on this existing setup. The problem is: While running the SQL Server Setup wizard, the Reporting Services checkbox remains greyed out. In other words, there isnt an option to select SSRS for installation. So the question is: Is it even possible to install 64bit SSRS on an existing 64bit SQL server installation - given that SSRS wasnt installed during the first pass. PS: The SQL Server is SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 configured as an App Server.
I have restored the master db in single user mode.
--- Processed 440 pages for database 'master', file 'master' on file 1. Processed 3 pages for database 'master', file 'mastlog' on file 1. The master database has been successfully restored. Shutting down SQL Server. SQL Server is terminating this process. ---
I removed single user mode parameter(-m;)
When I start SQL Server in configuration manager getting below error

I would like to restore the master database from a current backup tape but I got the error “Load database must be used in single user mode if trying to restore the Master database”. I tried to change the master database option but the option ‘single user’ cannot be changed for the ‘master’ database. Then I tried to start the SQL Server in Single-User Mode but I was not able to restore the master database from a tape. Would anybody help me on how to restore the Master database like any other database? Many thanks
I am going through the procedure of restoring the master database as described in the Microsoft SQL 6.5 Survival Guide by SAMS. I deleted the master.dat file from c:mssqldatamaster.dat. I went into setup and choose rebuild master database. After rebuilding the master database, I went into setup again to add the "-m" server option to start server in single user mode so I can load the master database from backup. Then I went into Enterprise Manager to start the server. The server started, but when I try to double click on the server. It gave me the following
" A connection could not be established to [server name] - SQL server login failed."
I try reregistering the server, but gave me the same error. The SQL server is using standard security.
I do my backup using BACKUP database <myDB> TO DISK='D:BACKUPmyDB.bak' I do this for ALL my databases every day.
Another product writes every day all the files on the server to tape EXCEPT the online databases because these files are open by SQL server 2000.
Now I restore the files of the tape to the server This works well but I haven't got the online databases !! And because the master database isn't available, SQL server wont start ...
BUT I have the backup of the master database 'D:BACKUPMaster_data.bak'
How can I use this master backup to do a restore even when SQL server can't start ?
Or must I do the bakup of the master database in another way ?
When I attempt to restore a master database I am having some issues. I am using SQL Server 2000. I have set the start up option with -c -m to set the database in single user mode.
When I run the restore from enterprise manager I am get an popup window that is titled "SQL-DMo(odbc SQLSTATE:HY000)" with not message and then the database conection is lost. Thus the master datbase is appears to it was not resotred. As when I close enterprise manager and then restart the MSSQLSERVER service the database is in the same state.
Please advise on how i can get the Database restored. Thanks Chris
I was wondering if someone could help me. I need to re-install the SQL Server (due to a registry corruption). What I plan to do is to:
- Detach all databases (including master, pubs, and tempdb) - Copy databases to a different folder - Uninstall SQL Server - Reinstall SQL Server - Copy the databases back - Reattach all databases
Will that preserver all the security? (e.g. syslogins and sysxlogins) Will using an old "master" database on a new install pose any problems?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Please email me at vchai@artinmotion.com
I have 2 database servers, 1 @ production and 1 @ DR site.
To restore the master database to DR on a regular basis, I have to rely on either the DBA or SysAdm to perform the restore. It's pretty expensive, as they have to dedicate some time to do so.
I'm exploring the possibility of getting the Data Centre staff to do this instead, as they are stationed at the DR site. Please advise the SQL permisssions required to restore master database.
I wish to restore master database which was located on "e:" on my server. the restored copy is residing on "f:" when i restore the backup and restart, the server does not start.

How do I restore a Master Database on SQL Express?
I am having problem restoring a data i backup in master database for an application upgrade. I have this error message that ' i can only restore in single usermode for master database that i should change to single user mode'
If one is regularly taking backups of system databases, when does it become necessary to rebuild the master database. I am looking for a situation where rebuilding the master is preferred to restoring it from backup.
Login failed for user 'OFFICIALPROJECTAdministrator'. Reason: Server is in single user mode. Only one administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18461)
Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.
I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).

Hi All I have Computer is setuped SQL Server 2000 and SQL server 2005 when I restore SQL Server 2005 it's OK but when it's not OK when I restore in SQL Server 2000. The Error as follows:
UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?

It is not possible to convert the stores immediately. please help me out.
Wierd issue of a missing master database - wierd because I would have thought this was a newbie topic but I've found nothing for it. I googled and had a 'decent' look through this forum and only found a bunch of topics on 'how to restore master database'.
I wouldn't have thought I need to restore the master database because my SSMS works fine and I can query the master database. I can also see it in the drop down list of available databases in the Query Designer toolbar. The problem is just that I can't see it in the list of databases. I can see all the other databases I've created, and I can see the master database in the DATA folder. But not in the SSMS.

Hi,We have a situation where we want to move our current databaseserver to a different hardware and rename the server.If we change the Physical server name, do we have to go thru the wholeprocess of changing it in sql server by running sp_dropserver,sp_addserver?Can we have an alias for the server name in DNS and can sql serverresolve the server name internally by going thru DNS?For eg: Our current database server name is FFSQL-PRD01. We have itregistered in EM as FFSQL-PRD01. Now we renamed the server toSTLSQL-PRD01, and added an entry in DNS for STLSQL-PRD01 with alias ofFFSQL-PRD01( the same old name as alias). After doing this when I goto EM and click on FFSQL-PRD01 would it give me an error? or can itresolve the server name by going to DNS.When you install SQl server the default instance has to be the physicalserver name, Why? Is the physical server name stored in Masterdatabase( SYSSERVERS table)?Thanks for your help.Geetha
Hi All, After I installed sql server 2005 64bit standard edition on Windows Server Enterprise 2008 64bit, I cannot connect to the sql instance using the sql management studio on the same machine! I verified that:
service is running,
in surface area configuration: remote connections to local and remote are enabled, for TCP/IP and named pipes.
ran the command netstat -avn| findstr 49279 to make sure that the server is listening.
firewall is off, but this does not matter since I'm connecting locally to local instance
I'm using domain controller account to login to sql server / also tried the sa account. what else can be wrong?
Now I'm trying to run PHP web application on x64 2003 Server with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The version of PHP is 5.2.3. and the web application should be run as 64bit applications. Since there seems no way to use php_mssql.dll on the environment, I'm trying to use SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP but when PHP loads php_sqlsrv.dll, an error has occurd and there's a following message in an error log...
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:phpextphp_sqlsrv.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application
From this message, I thought the distributed libraries for Windows would be for a Win32 environment but there seemed no information that says the libraries run on Win32 environment only.
