SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring A Single Table From Backup
Dec 12, 2014With 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).

DB Engine :: Compressed Backup While Restoring Backup File
Sep 8, 2015I 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.

Oct 13, 2000When restoring a database that contained a full text catalog to another server I noticed that the full text catalogs were not restored. However, the system tables still had the information on these catalogs. As such, I couldn't delete the catalogs (because they didn't exist).
In the end, I deleted the relevant lines from the system table sysfulltextcatalogs and sysobjects and then built a new set of catalogs. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I am restoring databases to a backup/standby server on a regular basis and was wondering if there are any official/documented methods of restoring full text catalogs to another server. (i.e. without having to mess around with the system tables). There doesn't seem to be much in BOL.
Any pointers or ideas on this would be welcome.

SQL 2012 :: Backup Cleanup Of Differential And Log Backups Based On Full Backup?
Feb 19, 2015Using Ola Hallengren's scripts I do a full backup of a database on a Sunday. Then differential backups every 6 hours and log backups every hour. I would like to keep a full week of backups based off the full backup done on Sunday. Is there a way for me to clear out the diff and log folders after the successful full backup on Sunday nights?

SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup
Nov 16, 2015I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

Dec 2, 2000After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
Any help is appreciated.

Does A Full Backup Include Data Changes Made During The Backup?
Nov 29, 2007If my backup starts at 8PM and take 1 hour to complete, will the changes made to the database during that hour be captured in the full backup?
Stated another way, will my backup be a snapshot of:
a) 8PM when the backup started
b) 8PM with some of the changes made between the hour
c) 9PM when the backup finished?
Anybody know the exact way SQL Server handles that logic?
Thanks,

Differential Backup Fails Because Of Erroneous Full Backup
Jul 19, 2007Hi
I am using the Simple recovery model and I'm taking a weekly full backup each Monday morning with differentials taken every 4 hours during the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, a programmer ran a process that corrupted the db and I had to restore to the most recent differential. It was 5pm in the afternoon and a differential backup had just occured at 4pm. No problem, I figured.
I restored the full backup from Monday morning and tried to restore the most recent differential backup. The differential restore failed. Since I had used T-SQL for the initial attempt, I tried using Enterprise Manager to try again.
When viewing the backup history, I see my initial full backup taken on Monday plus all the differentials. BUT, on closer inspection, I noticed another full backup in the backup history that was taken early Tuesday morning. I can't figure out where this Tuesday morning full backup came from. It wasn't taken by me (or scheduled by me) and I'm the only one with access to the server. My full backups are usually named something like HCMPRP_20070718_FULL.bak. This erroneous full backup was named something like HCMPRP_03a_361adk2k_dd53.bak. It seemed like it was a system generated name. Not something I would choose. To top it off, I could not find this backup file anywhere on the server and when I tried to restore using this full backup, it failed.
Does anyone have any clues as to where this full backup might come from? Does SQL Server trigger a full backup on its own if some threshold is reached?
I ended up having to restore using the differential taken just before this erroneous full backup and lost a day of transactions.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
How Can I Trigger Full Backup On Tran Log Backup Error?
Aug 8, 2007Hello,
I have MS SQL 2005 server with 300+ databases on it. The application is set up that way that it creates a new database as needed (dynamically). Do not ask me why - I hate this design... So, it can create 3-4 databases a day (random time).
I've scheduled full backup of all databases to run once at night, and it runs just fine. Besides that, I have scheduled tran logs backup of all databases to run every hour. This backup fails from time to time with the following error:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [survey_p0886464_test] TO DISK = N'D:\backups\log backups\survey_p0886464_test_backup_200708072300.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'survey_p0886464_test_backup_20070807230002', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
So, I think what happens is since my full backup of all databases are scheduled to run only once at night, and tran logs every hour, when new database is created during the day, there is no full backup for it, that is why tran logs backup fails. Becuase after the failure, if I run full backup again, then tran log runs just fine afterwards.
I am new to MS SQL Server, I am mostly working with Sybase IQ. Do you know if I can "trigger" full backup every time when new database created to avoid tran lof failure?
Or is it possible to schedule full backup to run if tran log backup fails?
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Should Full Backup And Transaction Backup Be From One Plan?
Mar 11, 2008Hello, everyone:
I just heard that for restore purpose, ths full backup and transaction log backup should be from one maintenance plan. Otherwise transaction log backup files cannot be restored after restoring full backup files.
Is it true? Can anyone offer official documents?
In my system, full and transaction backups are from one maintenance plan. Restores are doing fine. I am not sure that ideal is true or not.
Thanks

Differential Backup Not Smaller Than The Full Backup
Jun 6, 2007Hi,
Using SQL Server 2005, we have a 2.8Gb database under the Simple recovery model. The database contains ~50M rows and each night ~60k rows are loaded(appended) to the database by a SSIS task.
We configured a Maintenance Plan which is executed once a week to perform a full backup of the database. The resulting backup file is ~2.8Gb, as expected.
We also configured another Maintenance Plan which is executed every day, a few hours after the SSIS task is executed, to perform a differential backup. To our surprise, the resulting backup file is about the same size as the full backup, ~2.8Gb when it should only be a few MB (only 60k rows are added to the database)
When we launch the "Restore Database" wizzard we clearly see the different backup set, Full and Differential but they all have about the same size (same for the physical backup file on disk).
Is there anything we are missing, why are the differential backup that big?
Thanks for any advice.
Transaction Replication Failed After Restoring Full Back Up Of Database In NORECOVERY

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring DB With Full Text Catalog / Index
Aug 6, 2015I need to restore a SQL 2008 db on SQL 2014 instance with out upgrading the database(changing compatibility level).

Do I need to worry about anything or can I perform a clean restore from the backup with full text import?
Do I need to rebuild the catalog in this case?
Recovery :: Restoring 2005 Database With Full Text Catalogs To 2012?
Nov 15, 2015We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
