Restoring A SQL 7.0 Server Backup To A Different DBase
Dec 25, 1999
Hi,
I have used the backup tool in MS Access 2000.ADP many times
To make a nice backup of my adp Projects server objects(tables & data) that
I have in my MS SQL Sever 7.0 dBase. and then have successfully restored them back to the same computer that I have backed them up to. .
But now I need to transfer server SQL 7.0 DAT backup files over to two other types of computer setups..
I need to transfer these files and import or restore them onto another
computer that has MS Access 2000 and SQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 platform and
also to a computer that has MS Access 2000 and MSDE on a win98 platform..
Have tried many different things but cannot seem to find a way to transfer or restore the SQL 7.0 DAT files to a different named dbase NT server with SQL 7.0 or to a win98 client with a named dbase on a MSDE file. the ADP client portion is just a simple file transfer but these SQL Server 7.0 DAT backup files... argh!
I am completely stumped even after trying many things and consulting the SQL
server manual.
Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files. Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database? I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server. Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
I want to create a database that is identical to one I currently have for testing purposes. I took a backup and tried to restore it to another server to actually create the database. It wouldn't work, then I created the database on that server and gave it the exact name and file layout (dbid was different) and tried to restore the backup to the newly created database. Still would not restore. I am using SQL 7 for backkup and restore. The backup device backs up to disk on the servers. What I am doing wrong?
I'm trying to restore databases to a backup server from a production server. This is the message I received. I'm fairly new to this. I haven't touched SQL Server in over a year and wasn't very proficient back then either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to SQL server and I need your advise on the following .
1. We have two SQL 7.0 Databases at a distant location and we want to move those databases to our location.
2. we plan to take the SQL backup of the databases in tape ( 4Gb and 2 Gb in size) , bring them here, restore them to SQL 2000 server. - Is this possible , DO SQL 7.0 backups are restored on SQL 2000 without any problems ?.
Also, we plan to take log backups of the DBs at the source after the initial full backups and apply them at the target SQL 2K databases till we cut over to the Target Databases.
Ehat would be the best method of doing this? All your suggestions , pointers to real life scenarios like this, solutions are welcome.
Please let me know if you need any more informations , before suggesting any solution.
I am restoring a backup of sql server 2005 which I inherited on to sql server 2012 and is in a recovery pending state and the reason why is, this is a backup from a different domain and does not have the logins from the legacy domain, looks like its some access issue as its not being able to find the necessary login on sql server 2012.
Hello,Recently I've tried to restore backup made on SQL Server 6.5.Unfortunately, the only version of SQL Server I currently possess is SQLServer 2000. I have access only to that backup, because I've made it afew years ago, and the main db file doesn't exist any more ;( I would begrateful if you could help me a little ;)RegardsR.Kruk
When I try to restore my SQL Server 2000 backup file to a newly installed copy of SQL Server 2005 Express using Studio Express, I get the following error:
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'UpperBridge' database. (Microsoft.sqlservfer.Express.smo)
The backup is made from an SQL Server 2000 database called 'UpperBridge'
I am trying to restore to a database called 'UpperBridge' which I created under 'New databases' in Studio Express.
I am doing a complete backup on a sql 7 db and then doing a completerestore (with overwrite existing db) on a sql 2000 server. This is nowour hot standby server. I have the process automated and it worksgreat. The only problem I have now is the logins dont work.I have tried running EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Report', and thelogins appear.However, when I run EXEC sp_helplogins 'joe', the results are empty.So, I am guessing all I need is a sp that will re-associate my loginswith the correct db and grant the appropriate permissions.If anyone has any ideas that would be great.I have also considered doing a log ship instead of a full backup andrestore. Does anyone have any suggections or good examples of how tomake that happen?Thanx
Alright, here's the deal. I'm testing some backup/restore strategies, and hitting a (slight) sticking point.
We've got collections of database and log backups created by the usual maintenance plans on a 2000 Enterprise machine. I'm trying to run through a restore onto a new 2005 machine (Developer Edition on my test workstation) using the collection of .bak and .trn files copied from the 2000 server. When I try to restore to a new database on 2005 via SSMS, and select all the .bak and .trn files for the restore, I get the ol' "The volume on device '[trimmed]' is not part of a multiple family media set. BACKUP WITH FORMAT can be used to form a new media set." error.
I'm assuming this just means that SQL Server can't verify that these log backups are in fact part of a functional "set", even if they aren't part of a traditional backup media set. Is there any way to tell SSMS, "It's okay man, just restore the database from these files, in this order - trust me," or is the only solution restoring every individual log file one at a time? (Which seems to work fine, though is a tremendous pain with any more than a few log backups.) Seems like there ought to be a good one-shot method to restore a bunch of backups to a different server, and I'm just not finding it.
With all the new functionality, can 2014 now restore a single table from a standard backup without using any third party tools? I have looked, but can't see this listed as a feature (though that doesn't mean it's not there, maybe I've just missed it).
I got full backup on daily schedule its taking more space on Drive because each file has more than 25GB.I am using SLQ server 2008R2 so I'm looking to take the backup with compression instead of uncompressed Backup. What are the impacts of compressed backup. Is there any problems with compressed backup while restoring the backup file.
I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error : Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Hi Everyone, I was prototyping a DB and made a backup of all the files in the data directory of sql server, thinking that I would be able to restore the system from another installation when I made it to the US. I have the cd with the archives on and a full backup of the DB I want but I have no idea how to get sql server to initialise it.
Guys, i've 1.6 GB of backup size and it takes 1 hour for this backup to get restored over a SCSII 10,000 rpm. Is it normal. How can i make the restore faster. It takes only 5-10 mins to take the backup however. I am restoring the full backup, no differential or log file.

I used backup and restore to upgrade a database from sql 2000 to sql 2005. Is it necessary to create the mdf and ldf on the new server at the time of restore under options or should I copy them to the new server in the data folder? I am new and not quite sure what the log files hold. Thanks
I am using SQL server 2000. When I want to restore a backup database from the disk. I use the Enterprise Manager tool to restore database. From there I checked Restore database and select from the first backup to restore. Do I need to backup the transaction log after? Or this does all of it?

My first post on these forums and I'm hoping someone can please help me before I pull all of my hair out.
I'm currently working on the redevelopment of a website. The old one was written in ASP and we're going to totally redo the whole thing. As a lot of the content was dynamic I want to fire up the old site on my laptop to browse and pull content from. I have a backup of the entire website which I have put under a fresh IIS install. I also have a backup of the MSSQL database. I have restored this to the local machine and can view it using the SQL Server Management Studio. The problem is that I think I am having lots of trouble synching the users/permissions for it. We don't have a backup of the Master databases so I am stuck with what I can extract from the site backup and web code.
Trying to load the old index.asp I get either of these error messages quote:'Login failed for user 'Username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection' or 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied.' depending on how I've played with the user permissions.
Please can someone help me sort this out so that the old ASP webpages can access the DB again? I'm used to mySQL/PHP so am struggling a bit to get this going.
-Edit- Bit more info. Here are the connection details the site uses within an ASP page. <% dim Conn
'---------------------Create connection------------------------------------------------------ Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=MYSERVER;Database=dbTest;uid=dbTestUser;pwd=testpasssql"
I used backup and restore to upgrade to sql 2005 from 2000. It went well but I didn't get the permissions change in time for the users to access the database today. The users were accessing the old server. I need to do another backup off the old server to the new server. Do I do a full backup to get the information for today's data or what? Will it restore a full backup override?
Hi, Im trying to restore the differential backup,I have to restore the full backup first and then restore the differential backup.Can any body tell me the code for this?

We have received a backup file that is 6G in size. The log file isabout 74G while the MDF is about 5 G when we restored. Is there a wayto run a SQL script to restore the .BAK file without restoring the logfile as we do not have enough space on the server.PS. We are running Sql2K5.Thanks!
I have a SQL backup that I created on SQL 2005 but need to restore it on a SQL 8.0 SP4 installation. I receive an error when I try to restore it. The error is :
Error 3169: The backed up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally.
Hi all, My question is: If I need to restore a database when all I have is the backup file, do I need to recreate all the tables, or is it possible to restore into a new database ? Is it possible to restore a sql server 2000 database into a sql server 2005 database ? Thanks in advance.
