hi, I already have jobs in the sql server agen. I want to copy all these jobs to another sql server, What is the best way to do it.
here what I am thinking to do
1. Back up the msdb from the sql server which has the jobs
2. restore msdb into the sql server where I need to create the jobs.
I got an error message, 15089 cannot change the 'single user' option of a database while another user is in the database.
But no one is in except me.? thanks for your input
I am trying to restore my msdb database after rebuilding my RAID, and reinstalling sql. I can restore my user databases fine, but my msdb gives me error 3132: The media set for database msdb' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided.
I really don't want to lose all my jobs, so any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I just performed a normal database backup to disk, and i was able to restore the other db's i backed up the exact same way... I really don't want to lose all my jobs, so any help would be appreciated. thanks.
SQL_PROD: production server with SQL Server 2005 SQL_TEST: test server with SQL Server 2005 What we are trying to do:
We are testing our backup and recovery procedures. To do so we are using the backups from SQL_PROD and restoring them on SQL_TEST. We are restoring: all user databases, master database, msdb database and model database. The issue we are experiencing:
I think we've hit a kink in our recovery procedures concerning msdb database in the context of a recovery on another machine (SQL_TEST in this case).
We include msdb in our nightly backups so that, in the event of server loss, our maintenance plans and jobs get restored.
On SQL_TEST (after a recovery), the maintenance plans and jobs do get restored but the problem is that they reference the SQL_PROD server (server's name, disks, etc...). Deleting the jobs and maintenance plans from SQL_TEST we got no errors and the jobs and plans disappeared from beneath the Maintenance Plans and Jobs nodes. Doing a refresh on the nodes, the €œdeleted€? plans and jobs reappear beneath their respective nodes! Upon the second deletion (and any consecutive delete) we get the error:
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum) ... The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'sysmaintplan_plans', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Clicking on "Show technical details" reveals this:
... Server Name: SQL_PROD Error Number: 229 Severity: 14 State: 5 Line Number: 1 ...
Note that SQL_PROD is being referenced in the error message!
This morning I took a look at SQL_PROD€™s Maintenance Plans and Jobs (the source of the msdb backup) and surprise surprise: THEY WERE ALL GONE!!! This is a MAJOR BUG!!! Deleting a job or a plan on one server should not have the effect of deleting it from a different server (regardless of the origins of the msdb database). Is this a known bug? Or is it considered €œnormal€? behavior?
My questions are:
How do we delete the maintenance plans and jobs from SQL_TEST without deleting them from SQL_PROD? What is the proper/recommended method to backup and restore maintenance plans and jobs (in fact msdb)? Is it by scripting things and recreating them on the recovery server in an empty msdb or is there a way to restore msdb properly from the crashed server? Thanks for your help.
Late last Sunday I had to do an emergency rebuild of our SQL Server (v2012). In my haste, I neglected to restore the MSDB and MODEL DBs, and am instead using those which came with the fresh SQL install -- which obviously don't contain my jobs and maintenance plans. Would there be any problem/conflicts with me restoring those DBs this weekend?
I have a weekly job that runs to execute msdb.dbo.sp_delete_backup_history on history older than 7 days on a server that is a log-shipping destination server. However, I have now noticed after putting a new deadlock alert, that this job causes RESTORE LOG jobs for all 6 of my log-shipped databases, which run every minute, to deadlock.
I am not concerned with the fact that the RESTORE LOG jobs are then chosen as the deadlock victims, as they will simply re-run in the next minute anyways.
What I would like to do though is to somehow lock all the tables being cleared by sp_delete_backup_history, so that the restore jobs are forced to wait or fail without causing a deadlock to appear. I was wondering if I could do this via setting the job which runs sp_delete_backup_history to use serializable isolation level, or would that cause other problems/issues? If not that, would setting the deadlock priority level to high prevent deadlocks, or just simply force the restore log jobs to be chosen as the victim?
The main thing is that I would like to stop being "annoyed" by the deadlock messages being generated.
What is the best way to restore a database from a folder of backups (including full, diff and log backups) without using the backup history in msdb?
I have a restore process that restores all backups on a regular schedule in order to fully verify their integrity. To do this, I use the backup history in msdb on each server that I'm monitoring. I had a thought the other day that I would be in trouble if I lost msdb. Then my backup history would only be as good as the last backup of msdb.
What I'd like to do is read a folder of backup files and generate a restore script up to a specified time. Would I use RESTORE HEADERONLY to do this? If so, would I use PowerShell to traverse each file in the folder?
While backing up our database, I am getting the following message:
Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. This may indicate a problem with the MSDB database. DUMP/LOAD was still successful. (Message 3009)
While migrating Report services in SQL Server 2005 to 2014, I am trying to restore the Encryption Key in RS Configuration Manager in2014. But I cannot click the 'Restore' button in RS Configuration Manager. So if I should be grant more right to do so or any other action?
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.
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow: RESTORE VERIFYONLY From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak', 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak', €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
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???
Hello I have a very large base msdb, I do not arrive has to purify it with sp_delete_backuphistory, it is much too long, have another solution? thank you
Hi , I am facing a paculiar problem.I got some jobs scheduled in MSDB.They are running fine for some time. Yesterday when i tried to open the properties of a job from EM i am getting an error 'Select Into Bulk copy option not enabled' Can anyone got this before? I appreciate if any one can throw some thoughts on this. thanks in advancce MM
I know that msdb is used to manage the job schedulers in sql server 7.0 ( job agent ). Does this (msdb) like other databases, where I can control its size, shrink it or expand it.
IF am backing up the msdb, and I errased all jobs scheduled in sql agen. Can I restore all the deleted Jobs by restoring the msdb.
Does anyone know how to fix this message? Message: Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. I ran DBCC CHECKDB (msdb) and no errors were reported. Thanks
I have a job called JOBA scheduled to run every 10 min. Is there a way in Tsql that I can find out whether the job is currently running or not.Is there any table/field in msdb database that gives me the desired info.
My MSDB is too big [about 14 GB]. When I closely looked all tables, here is what I found -
Top 3 biggest tables are -
sysmaintplan_logdetail - rows- 124923 - data - 13375456 KB DTA_Tuninglog - 181658 rows - data - 163248 KB sysmail_mailitems - records - 14227 data - 126208 KB
I am not a DBA, so if any one can explain in simple terms how I can cleanup this maintenance plan log detail without increasing the size of tempdb? How can I stop this database growing in the future?
I have a problem with my MDSB database. After my nightly reboot, I received an error in my Lof File stating: Error 9001: Cannot file log device for msdb database. I looked and saw the msdblog.ldf, so I am alittle confused. I ran a dbcc checkdb, dbcc newalloc and dbcc updateusage on msdb, but I did not get any errors. I added an additional log file to try and fix it, but nothing has fixed it. I am perplexed because all my scheduled backups are failing.
I want to move the physical location of the msdb database on a SQL server. However I cannot drop the database with the drop database statement, even setting it to dbo use only and single user mode. I get an error message saying the database is in use. Obviously I do not want to reinstall the server. The reason I want to move it is because it is located in the default dir on the C: drive which is running out of space.
Problem with Msdb error 1105 can not allocate space in sysbackupdetail. msdb has 1.0MB of database space available and 1.97MB of log space. I intended to expand the database but must first expand the device. the available space for the device is -703. So I can not adjust and expand. Any ideas. My hourly dumps appear to be functioning if you view them ny expanding the device but tasks show them as failing.
when i am trying to restore MSDB database from a disk backup it is giving an error saying "Database in use.System administrator must have exclusive use of the databse to run the restore operation". But i am not using msdb anywhere.when i see the processes under current activities i see an application named sqlagent-alert engine using the database.even after killing this process it reppaears and stops the restore operation. so i stopped sql server agent and did the restore operation.It worked. so is it necessary to stop sql server agent while restoring msdb?may i know the logical reason for it?
How would you set up a task run by user without sacrificing the alias permission on msdb (SQL 6.5)?
Situation: I have set up a task for runing replication by a user with the alias permission on msdb in order for the user to run the task. And I do not want to grant the alias permission to the user for the security reason. But if I set it up by granting only the sp_runtask permission to the user on msdb I always got the message like "You cannot perform this action on a task you do not own."
Please share your workaround. Thank you ahead of time
when I am trying to restore a database from a dump device (device is mapped to other server) the following error occurs.
I tried doing checkdb and newalloc on msdb but it din't work. Is there any problem if I truncate MSDB?
ERROR: Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. This may indicate a problem with the MSDB database. DUMP/LOAD was still successful. (Message 3009). NOTE: The task was retried the requested nu
The sysbackupdetail table in the MSDB database at our SQL6.5 installation has grown to over 50,000 rows, since we back up 25 databases every day. I've enlarged MSDB once because of a space problem, and I'm wondering whether I can just delete the older entries in this table to prune it, without dire consequences. MSDB has other history tables, and I'd like to handle them all the same way.
If I mess with these tables, will the sky fall on me?
