I have TDE backup one serverA but There is no backup of certificates or keys from Server A. And no one knows the password used to create those backups. How do you restore the database XYZ at that time on Server B?

Well the need came in that way , now i think i know the problem (i.e) The Orginla DB is there and also i am restoring the same DB again on that server, so .mdf and .ldf will be same .
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a DB, MDF is about 170GB, log 200GB. When I do a restore of it, the backup takes about 20 minutes to get to 100% but then it just stays there in Restoring Mode.
I have specified the WITH RECOVERY option.
What is happening that it doesn't commit the backup for some reason?
I'm working on a project where I need to build a small database and then copy it to a server at the client's site. I can't connect directly, so I have to use a VPN connection and use Remote Desktop, copy the database backup from my machine to the cloud, then download it to the client machine. The project is still in the early stages, and the client is still sending me data in CSV files and Excel spreadsheets. I'm periodically needing to do a complete refresh of the database at the client. I've hacked my way through it a couple of times, but I need to know the proper way to do it. I get errors on the restore step, telling me the file is in use.

I am planning Full backup and Differential backup and detach the DB and restore the DB in the new storage system.
Or should I detach,copy the data and log file and attach the files, will this approach have any advantages ?
I have 2 servers in a SQL Server Fail-Over Cluster. IOW I use always-on availability groups. I run backups - full, diff and log - regularly via SQL Agent on one server only depending on which is primary. If there is a fail-over, then backups will continue on the other server. If I have to restore a database in an availability group I probably would need some combination of full, diff, and log backups from each server. Would that actually work? I test the backups weekly however I just realized that I never tested that scenario.

Hi all,
I am new to Sql server backup and restore.
I have an sql server database in my office and I have successfully copied the whole database to my pc at home. For this purpose I used complete database backup.
Now what I want to do is delete all the data from office database(this can be done manually also) and copy daily data to my pc at home.So that only one day data will reside in my office compuer.
I tried this with completed database backup/restore again. But the old data in my home pc got lost. And when I tried the same with differetial backup, it gave an error message lile "the restore process was not stared with NORECOVER or STAND BY option".
Please suggest me how can I do daily backup from office computer and restore the data to my home PC so that the daily data gets appended to the existing database in my home PC.
Thank you in advance.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

I want to backup an SQL Server database through a client application written in VB 6.0, and not through the Enterprize Manager.
I use the SQLDMO Objects Library to backup the database to the SQL Server machine through my application,
but there are the following problems:
a. The backup can be done only locally to the SQL Server machine. Is there any way to bypass this restriction?
b. To get the Directories Structure of this machine i use the xp_FixedDrives, xp_Subdirs stored procedures.
That's ok for the Backup operation but i do not have a way to view the FILES to perform Restore operation.
Of cource VB function Dir() cannot be used to view files on the server because of access restrictions.
Is there any workaround for that?
Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards

Hello,
SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup
Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198
String or binary data would be truncated.
This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like
select * from #art_commands
The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.
What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:
1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.
2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.
3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.
4. anymore for anymore?
It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?
many thanks,

I am trying to restore a DB from FULL backup onto a server (ServB) but that backup is located on a different server (ServA) within the same network. I know that using SSMS 2008, i cannot restore using file from a different server. Due to space restrictions, I cannot copy the bak file (on ServA) to the server where the DB will be restored (ServB). How to restore the FULL db using sql. Basically, the end result is to setup mirroring with the principal server. so i need to restore full and tlog backup

Hi, Our Sharepoint of TFS was down a couple of days ago. By luck, we had fully backed up SQL database. Now, the problem is, I uninstalled everything and tried to move TFS to a new server machine on the domain. I installed freshly everything and tried to restore all the databases (with tables also). Now the problems are these:
1 - Since there are lots of different backup-restore procedures telling on the Internet from some forums and this forum also: What should i do basically to make the configuration of Sharepoint and Reporting Services to make them work correctly?
2 - Secondly, even if i fail in the problem above, I, at least, want to save the source control files and sharepoint files. Where can I find them and how can I take them back to my new TFS installation?
3 - If these problems exist and Suppose on a new project on the new installation, i create new WI's, documents (with new Version Control information), and new SPS configuration. And on a new release,the problems are resolved. Is there some way that I can merge the former Backup with the new installation's database?
Sorry if this is elementary, but I have searched and cannot find an answer.
I have a backup file of a sql server 2000 database. I want to restore it to a remote hosted sql server 2005.

Hello,
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile.
I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by,
1. Create the database with the same name.
2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so,
I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated.
If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
MMS

SQL Transaction replication, specifically SQL backup and restore Transaction replication. So Scenario,
S1 = Primary Server 1
R1 = T - Replication Server 1
R2 = T - Replication Server 2
So we have S1 replicating to R1, and we want to build another subscriber which is R2.
Can I take the Replicated Database from R1, backup it up, then restore it to R2, and create the publication/subscription?
Will that work? if not, is there an easier way to avoid the snapshot? the reason i ask this is because we do have replication snapshot, but takes long. One of my Colleagues stated he tried this, however replication made duplicate rows on R2, which is why he had to use replication snapshot.

Of course I'll try this before I go live, but I figured I'd askhere first. I've read the docs, and the answer is unclear.My current backup strategy is:Take a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Back up logs every five minutes.This works, but restoring the database all the way through cantake a while, as I've sometimes spun through 800+ log restores.I'd like to change toTake a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Take a differential backup every day.Back up logs every five minutes.So, I'd have this set of backups after day twoFULLLOGS 1-100DIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200When I go to restore, do I always have to doFULLDIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200or can I doFULLLOGS 1-100LOGS 101-200?I guess what I'm really asking is: is there any reason to keepthe "old" logs around (in this case 1-100), if I assume I alwayshave the latest differential?I suppose I *might* need them to do a "point in time" restore,i.e.FULLLOGS 1-53.but assuming I never want to do that, can I discard the logsthat are earlier than my latest differential?

- Should I just take a backup of my current database and restore it (Will this also cover up access to objects for different users, or do I need to write a separate script for it).
