This job was set up long before i started here and the problem is that
the backup file itself has grown to be over 230 GB. It does not
appear that the backup job is pruning the file. is there a way to
view the contents of this file and then prune it so we keep no more
then two weeks worth of data.
I would like to ask you if there is better to recreate database structure on 2005 from 2000 and move data or to just load 2000 backup.
Currently I loaded the backup, but I am wondering if there might be slightly better performance on 2005 when recreating structure on 2005 to loading 2000 backup?
Does loading 2000 backup create 2005 binary structure?
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
I have ctreated a maintenance plan to backup a database daily. The option is set to overwrite.
1) How is it possible to allow for say four days of backup files to remain but any older backups to be deleted. At present I only get one file which gets overwritten every day.
2) What does the Append database option do? I know that it increases the backup file size on every backup. Not sure what that does to the file internally. i.e. why doe the file size increase even if there has not been any activity on the database on that day?
Hi, I'm trying to setup a Maintenance Plan under SQL2005 to backup selected DB's to a UNC share for later backup to tape. This was easy and straightforward under SQL2k, but doesn't seem to be as simple under 2005 as I've been unable to get it to work.
I have the Maint. Plan created and working to backup to the local drive, but am unable to get it to work to a UNC.
Hello,I am learning SQL Server 2005. I need to know how to make a backup ofa database. I tried (according to my book):BACKUP DATABASE DemoSQLServer TO DISK = "G:DemoSQLServer.bak"But I got error:Incorrect syntax near 'G:DemoSQLServer.bak'.Please help.Thank you very much./RAM/
I created a job to backup my database. Sometimes I get the following error: The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAINAdministrator) of job Backup.Subplan_1 has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAINAdministrator'<c/> error code 0x54b. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404))
I already deleted the job and made it again. Same problem. I don't get that error every day. For example: I got it 4 times last month.
Does anybody know what I can do to resolve the error?
I know I've been posting a lot about another problem but you all have been most helpful so I thought I'd throw this one at you too.
My nephew's company has a server with Small Business Server 2003 SP1 and they run Windows Backup for their daily backups. They also have SQL 2005 Workgroup on that machine. Prior to SQL 2005, they ran SQL 7 and had no problems with their daily backups. Once they upgraded (clean installed actually) SQL 2005 their backups fail. The event log errors with Event ID 6013 and says:
SQLlib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling IDBInitialize::Initialize. hr=0x80004005 SQLSTATE: 08001, Native Error: 17 Error state: 1, Severity: 16 Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Error Message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen[Connect[]].]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Obviously, SQL Server does exist, so I presume it has to do with an access denial. Microsoft has been no help and Googling other sites have gotten nowhere. DLL updates have been done and hot fixes installed. But the error persists.
I have sent a mssql backup file in .bak format to my host admin and asked them restore it. but they told me there are 3 files with 3 different dates in that backup what does it mean? should I ask them to restore all of them or just the last one? Thanks very much in addvance (context: MS SQL 2005 express)

I am new to sql server 2005.I am trying to set up databse backup using databse management.but some how it is not working and i am getting error after all settings done.
Can any one have experience on this. plz i am in desperate trouble.
I am very new to SQL 2005. I need to automate backup for the SQL server which can take backup of all databases from the server at fixed time without using third party backup system. Thank you for help.
I have recently installed the sql server 2005 on my server. I am going to setting up the maintenance plan to backing up my DB on the network. I can do it locally but i want to backup directly into the shered folder on the network.
I use SQL 2005 Database in my ASP.Net 2.0 site, I have to require admin backup db for me every time, I hope to I can backup by myself , how can I do? You know Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard can restore DB easily! Many thanks!
I have a community server running in a hiring host, and I also install it on localhost. I would like to know how to backup the database from hosting and restore it to the site running on my localhost so that two sites is the same and in case there is an error from the hosting I can recover my database. I can connect to my hosting database easily using SQL server Studio 2005, but the hosting does not offer backup through control panel. Could you please instruct me how to backup and restore database by SQL Server Management Studio. Thank you very much,
Hi,Good morning to All, I have SQL Server 2005 installed on my system. Recently I have formatted by computer. But I couldn't take backup of my data. Big loss. For this, I've googled also. but I couldn't get clear information. I want like the following:I could able to backup entire the Database either into my pen-drive, or some other media.And, latter I could able to put the Data back into my system. Can anyone please tell how to take backup of my Data, and Restore also. Thanks in advance,Ashok kumar.
i'm trying to set up one of the asp.net website starter kits and part of the process is to backup the sql express db and then import it into the sql 2005 at the web hosting account. it's not working and i'm wondering if there's any difference between the backups they make. the sql express makes a file with a .bak extension and the sql 2005 at the host makes a file with a .sqlbak extension. i was assuming that was just a naming thing and not a structural thing but the host's tech support has said: "This sort of thing happens when the database being imported is not properly formatted. You can try downloading and using sql express from microsoft to see if you can do it manually, but most likely you will need to save your database again properly set for import to an mssql server rather than however you did." all i had done was rename the .bak file from express to .sqlbak as that was the choice for backup files. i will note that it also failed importing the .mdf, which works fine locally with the site but i did make some changes to it from the original that came with the starter kit. should a backup file made with sql express (using sql management studio express, by right clicking on the file and choosing tasks > backup) normally be importable by sql 2005? or, i suppose, does it make sense that a db that works fine locally with sql express (within a visual web developer express project anyway) would actually be "formatted" in a way that would cause it to fail to import into sql 2005? thanks much for any assistance.
hello all i have Database of having 5 tables , 5 SP, etc now due to some reason i have to format my Harddisk. so which files i shuold take as Backup so next time i install Sqlserver 2005 so i will have to run(paste ) only those backuped files and i will have my database ready , pls show me path for taking back up. thank u
My problem relates to backing up my MS SQL 2005 database which is sitting on a shared server at a hosting company.
OVERVIEW: - Hosting company is using MS SQL 2005 - I am using the SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL Server 2005 Standard (NOT Express), which is installed on MY PC. - So, I am connecting to the SQL server over the internet
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE: - I would like to backup the data sitting on the Hosting company's MS SQL Server. I only have one database on this SQL Server. There are of course 100s of other databases on the same server which belong to other customers of the hosting company.
- I want to bring the backup to MY PC, from the SQL Server.
- As far as I can tell the following options within SQL Server Management Studio may be of help to me. I do not know which one I should use or which one is best or what is the proper method. 1) Select Backup option from the Tasks menu (but it only shows me drives/devices on the Hosting SQL Server, not my PC, so I can’t backup to my PC) 2) Export Data (it does not work, showing errors ‘…not a trusted connection…’ I have no clue what a trusted connection is. 3) Copy Database (which is supposed to copy the remote database on the Hosting company SQL server, to my local SQL Server running on my PC). I go through the wizard, on the last screen it just hangs i.e. shows- not responding)
MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY: How do I backup the database sitting on the hosting company SQL server? I of course need to bring the backup to my PC.
I feel like a complete nitwit. I've been using SQL 2000 for about 5 years now and regularly set up automatic backups using the wizard for many people. I'm in no way an advanced user and have enjoyed some of the more user-friendly features of SQL 2000 such as the backup wizard.
Well now we have SQL 2005 and I can't find the "wizard". I did a lot of googling and found very little on this. The frustration is mounting - let alone the fact that I had to edit the registry just to be able to perform a manual backup in the first place... :-(
Apparently their is a "maintenance plans" folder but the only place I can find this is under "Legacy" and you can't create jobs there.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a bug in SQL 2005? I reinstalled the full version with all options selected and still can't find this folder. Am I just being completely "blonde"?
Morning guys, What is the equivalent to the taskpad on sql server 2005? I want to be able to see when the last backup and restore was performed via transact sql ...... how would you go about that..... ? what would I search... ?
Of course, I'd like to delete the AdStatPageHeure_OLD table but I get a cryptic error message when doing that, and I can't remove the indexes that, according to some other posts I browsed, could explain the behavior: ---
La page (1:1111186), slot 1 pour le noeud text, ntext ou image n'existe pas. Page (1:1111186), slot 1 for text, ntext, or image node does not exist. (Microsoft SQL Server, Erreur : 7105)

Is there any easy option you can see to operate the transfer, since the backups I have from the DB already contain the data corruption?
Thanks a lot for any hint you could provide, -- Julien
