Restoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups
Mar 30, 2007
We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?

I want to read certain data from the backup file of MS SQL 2000 without restoring the database backup file. Based on the data selected I will manage the further functionality such as restoration of the backup file.
Is it possible to read some data from MS SQL 2000 backup file without restoring? If yes then please let me know how?

I'm working on a restore procedure for the case where all MDF filesare missing, but the LDF files are all intact. A full backup is doneevery 24 hours, and a log backup is done every 3 hours. Afterrestoring the last full + log backups, is it at all possible to usethe LDF files to recover data from that point up to a newer point intime?I've found a post which explains how to do this on SQL Server 2000<http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ms-sqlserver/browse_thread/thread/3ef5c7cbc0a83334/f3b0c70811d35ed7>, but step 4fails with the following error message:BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current databasebackup.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with stored procedures after restoring a db from 2000 -> 2005.
If any stored procedures isnt owned by dbo (eg tomsqluser.updateItems rather than dbo.updateItems) then it just wont work and Studio Management Server doesnt give the permission to change it to dbo.
Is there any way around this after restoring?

Hi Guys,
I have two servers at my site out of which one is our production server (on SQL 2000) and the other being a reporting server (SQL 2005). Now the question i have are the following..
Q1) Can i restore an hourly differential backup of my SQL 2000 to SQL 2005?
Q2) If yes, are there any specific way i need to go about it other than the conventional Restore with NoRecovery option?
Q3) If the answer is no to Q1, then is there any 3rd party software that does this(restoring differentials from 2000 to 2005)?
I had tried this once some time back and at that time it failed to keep the database in a state(norecovery) where in it would accept timely differential db restoration.
Appreciate your help

I did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Winstis' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I even tried the option to Overwrite Existing database and I got a different error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est.ldf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Also the 2005 instance database is on C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
and the 2000 instance is on
D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
How can I accomplish getting the database from 2000 to 2005 with all tables, store procedures, and functions?

Hi all,
We are experiencing major performance issues after restoring SQL Server 2000 db into newly setup hardware environment. The application is faster on another environemnt running on Windows 2000 server with SQL Server 2000.
We have replicated exact same hardware setup, but only fifference is we are running latest version windows server (2003) and latest version of SQL Server (2005). So far we have troubleshooted the bottleneck to be one of the trigger that is inserting data into a table in one of the stored procedures. The same SP takes 9 mins to execute whereas on our env it takes around one hour. If I disable the trigger it executes in 2 minutes.
After restoring, we have executed
exec sp_updatestats
DBCC UPDATEUSAGE
DBCC DBREINDEX all tables
Set Compatibility level to SQL SERVER 2005 (90).
Now we are installing latest Service Pack for both OS and SQL Server.
Any ideas?
Your help is appreciated.

Hello,
Is it possible to restore a SQL 2000 backup with Binary Order collation to a new SQL 2005 installation with Dictionary order, case-insensitive. Is this something I can do during the restore process or would I need to change it after?
Thanks in advance,

This is my first deployment of an always on availability group for SQL 2014 and I'm trying to get my custom backup procedure to handle all databases appropriately depending on the primary group. Basiscally I want the system databases and all databases that don't participate in the availability group to be backed up on both nodes and those that do participate backed up ONLY on the primary server. I've looked at the sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica funcation, but would like to only have to test for a single databases existance in the availability group. If the one database is in the group, only backup the system databases and those that don't participate, otherwise backup everydatabase. This would be the case for both full backups and transaction logs.

I am trying to set up a process where a differential backup is taken daily and applied to another DB. For some reason I cannot get the diff backup to restore. The full DB backup restored fine.
Server: Msg 3136, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot apply the differential backup on device 'diff' to database 'test'.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recieved 4 database's that were backed up from our client. They are using SQL Server 2000 and each of the files has no extension.
When attempting to restore a database of the same name in SQL Server Express 2k5 I recieve the following error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided
Is there a way to restore the backup without the log backup?
Thank you

Hi,
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
Thanks,
John Campbell

Hi All,
I was trying to restore MSDE 2000 database to SQL 20005 EE and I got stuck with the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (xxxx:xxxxxx) in database 'testdb' as read from the backup set.
Do you think some pages are corrupt from the db or the backup set?
Has anybody come across this? Any ideas to resolve this error?
Thanks,
Siva.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to restore a bak file which came with code for a tutorial. I think it is safe to restore, but sql server 2005 express has the following problem when I try to restore it.

I backup a database at the begining of each month with a full and then do nightly diffs on it.
For the same database I run daily fulls and 10 minute log backups.
these two backups create / append to two different backup files.
The problem im having is that I cant restore the Differential backup set. SQL seems to restore the full just fine but alwasy throws an error when its about to start to retore the last diff. now forgive me but I clicked OK on the message and I cant find any record of the error in the logs but its something like:
"SQL cannot restore the database as the database has not been restored to the previous correct state"
is my 10 min TS log backups screwing up the DIff chain somehow?
this is really doing my head in. any help appreciated.

Hi all.
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this question, but here it goes.
We have restored into sql 2005 the database backups made in sql 2000. We connect with trusted connection and application roles, and when trying to execute a transaction to another database (with the guest user), we get a permission error.
Does anyone know if, apart from restoring the databases, we should do something else to get the guest user working the same way as with sql 2000 in the restored databases?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Newbee question: I am trying to use some of the "101" samples in VS 2005 with SQL Server 2005. These samples use SQL server express MDF files.
The error is: "... you cannont open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.ext. You must re-create the database."
Do I need to install SQL server express? What are the issues with installing express when I am already running SQL Server 2005?
How do I update or "re-create" the express MDF database file in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks!

Until yesterday I had a server running SQL Server 2008 R2 - with all the SQL Server DB files on an attached disk array.
The server died - so I attached the disk array to a new server - and all the DB data files are visible there.
I installed SQL Server 2014 on the new server and am trying to work out how to point it at the existing database files.
I also have backups of the DB's - but they will take ages to copy over and restore - so it would be much easier to just use the db files. Should I restore the master db first (easy as its small)?

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. The problem I am having is that when I try to attach the existing db files I get a message that says "database cannot be upgraded because it is read only or has read only files...."
Thing is... there is no write protection on the files.
Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this problem so that I can attach the db, please?
Thank you
