I have a database that I am restoring from a different server. I have created the devices and the database to match that of the original. However, on clicking restore I get the following error:
[SQL Server] User specified volume id 'SS0001' does not match te volume id ' SQL001' of the device <database path>.
This seems to imply that I cannot restore to a different server, but from what I have read about other problems here, this isn't true. Can anyone shed any light as it is most frustrating.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Is this true? Is there any way for me to get this data into my SQL Server 2005 express on my laptop?
Hey guys We currenlty have SQL Server 2000 installed inhouse for testing. A client has given us a backup of their 2005 database and i'm wondering if the restore will work into 2000, or any issues i should be aware of. Should i just install msde locally on my machine and restore the database? thanks

I have another question : 1) Restoring SQL Server Databases after uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server.
Two days ago there was some problem with Norton Antivirus, so Windows 98 restored itself to a previous state. The SQL Server name was not available when I tried to start again, so I had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server. I started a new Database just a week before this happened (the change from Access to SQL Server as I stated in the other thread http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=987880) and after reinstallation I could not access the Database any more - even while it is in the Data directory. I did not have any backup to restore from - I just started creating tables, so there was only the Log file created and the MDF database file. I tried to import it for a while to the new server, but as the database is not shown in the new server, it was unable to import like I hoped. So how do you restore it back to SQL Server when you have no backup and only the (undamaged) MDF database file if you only have one server? I had to recreate the Database from scratch again - I don't want it to happen again.
Hi I have a .db file from another server and i am trying to install it at home and get this lengthy error message ( 9 lines long ) Microsoft SQL-DMO ODBC SQL STATE 42000 The physical name ( path blah blah may be wrong) how do i change the physical path of the .db file i'm trying to restore?? thx
When I restore db from backup on another server, it always remebers the source db path. This is very annoying as drive mappings are different. I have to go and manually change those paths each time to point to the existing mdf... Is there any way so I do not have to do this???
I have two servers (same config) I am trying to restore a database that I backed up on one server to the other. The method I used was as follows: I backed up the database to disk. Copied to the Disk of the second server. When I try to restore I get the following message. "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing "database name" database. What am I doing wrong?
i'm attempting to restore a 7.0 database to a new server useing the sql server enterprise manager. If i choose to restore from device, i get an ODBC SQL State 42000 error and a suggestion to use the "WITH MOVE OPTION". If i choose to restore via the database option, it doesn't recognize my backup file in the dropdown list of backup files to restore. I would like to use the enterprise manager if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi! I attempted to backup a database on server x and restore it on a database on server y. The details are as follows.
Server X Database name : dbx Size :263.88MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set) Logical files : dbx_data, dbx_log Physical files : e:mssql7datadbx_data.mdf, f:databaselogsdbx_log.ldf
Server Y Database name : dby Size :1MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set) Logical files : dby_data, dby_log Physical files : d:mssql7datadby_data.mdf, d:mssql7datadby_log.ldf
I created a full database backup of dbx on server x at the location, f:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AM. The size of the file is 272MB. I zipped the file. Copied the file, dbx_083099_10.30AM.xip over to d:ackups of server y. I unzipped the file at server y to the location, d:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM.
I now tried to restore this backup on server y using the statement, restore database dby from disk = 'd:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM with replace, move 'dbx_data' to 'd:mssql7datadby_data.mdf', move 'dbx_log' to 'd:mssql7datadby_log.ldf'
I get the following errors :

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?
Hi, I am trying to restore sql server 7 on to a different machine with same name. I installed sql 7 and tried restoring the databases, I got an unicode locale id error. I rebuild the master database and error was fixed.

Hi, I have two sql server 2000. one of the server has a production database names xyz_db I make a full backup of the database then move the backup file xyz_db.BAK to the other sql server and run the restore process, I get an identical database in the second sql server. Is there any issues that I should be aware of in doing such a thing?
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!

suppose we are restoring the database to a new server, the logins are getting created. So when an user want to login to this new database , what ever he used before to getinto that database should have to use the same password.??
So when we restore a database only, tables , logins are created, or what are the other things getting craeted like stored proc, jobs???

We've got a Sharepoint 3.0 SQL database that was partially corrupted during an ill executed BackupExec restore. Now the database will not start up.

I'm looking for suggestions on how to get the database back up and running with minimal SQL Server knowledge. If anyone has a quick and dirty how-to that would be appreciated of course any detailed documents specific to this configuration would also be greatly appreciated.
I have a backup copy of my database from the old server but now when I restore it on the new sever these are the steps I used: I created the new db on the new server then gave it the same name as the database that I backed up the restored but now when i check it's got system tables rather then user tables where did I go wrong?
I received a backup Sql Server file and I am trying to restore it. When trying to restore the backup using SQL Server 2000, I get the following message:
"the backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
After doing some research online, I figured out that the backup I received must be from SQL Server 2005. Therefore, I installed SQL SErver 2005 on my laptop (so now I have both 2000 and 2005 on my laptop)..
I tried to use the restore database option in SQL Server 2005 ( SQL Server Management Studio) to restore my backup, and I get the same error message (written again below) as I did when using SQL Server 2005:
"The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally"
Can anyone please provide me assistance on what I'm doing wrong? Is the issue that I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 installed on my laptop? Thanks.
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.
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 have a server attached to a SAN, all user db's are on the SAN, master, tempdb, and msdb are on the local machine. We will be replacing the machine (not the SAN) to a newer sql server. Our plan was to create the new server with same name, deattach current user db's,backup master and msdb, then connect new server with same name an IP to SAN. I then wanted to restore the master and msdb db's to the new machine, and attach the user db's. We are running log shipping to a stand-by server in this configuration. I was thinking I could let last tran log backup and copy occur, and then let the last restore happen on the standby. I would then shut down the agent. Should I not be able to restore the MSDB and master to the new server (as long as all file folder locations are the same) and be ready to go? Or are there issues when restoring the Master and MSDB to a new server from a different server.
I m a student and i m doing a project on Datamining. I have to mine data of a company. the issue is that the company uses Microsoft SQL server as there DBMS. they backed up there data and gave it to me with schema (schema is separate and data backup is a backup generated through the backup option in SQL server Enterprise Manager). Now i created tables through query analyzer (i think) and then through enterprise manager i tried to restore that backup on my personal pc and i get an error . the image is attached see the image for the error http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/kaboomagic/error.jpg
I recently was given control of an SQL server that stop working. We had no past backups of the database and the only file we had was the .mdf I decided to install a fresh version of SQL 2000 on another server and created a database using enterprise manager with the same name as my database called SWATraining
I then stop the sql server
the first thing that I notice is that the .mdf that enterprise manager created had _DATA at the end of the name. Thus I renamed the the orginal .mdf SWATraining_Data and
copied it to the C:program filesmicrosoft sql servermssqldata when I started SQL the database was greyed out and had (suspect)labeled
How can I recover the database when the only file I have is the .mdf file??
Server: Msg 5172, Level 16, State 15, Line 1 The header for file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataSWATraining.mdf' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.
Hi all, I have moved hosting companies and am trying to get my website and MSSQL database sorted on the new server. I am using an enterprise type tool and can connect to the database the new hosting company has created on their SQL server with no problem. I now want to upload the data I had in the database previously. All I have to do this from is .BAK and .TRN files on my local hard drive. Using the restore option from the menu, I tried to select the .BAK file I have saved to restore from it, and got the following error:
"EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_availablemedia', database 'master', owner 'dbo'."
I also tried the advice given in this post as the problem seems similar and follows the same pattern: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40841
but there are loads of users listed for sp_who - it seems to be the users for all the databases on the host's server so I didn't follow the next step to disconnect them!
Any advice as to what I need to do would be much appreciated.
Hello everyone. Pretty new to SQL Server and i've run into some trouble with something I am attempting to do.
Basically, we imported one of our databases on one of our SQL Servers to a new sql server that we just setup. That went ok with no problems. The DB is now in the new SQL Server.
Now, we need to copy the contents of a second DB from the original server into this new sql server DB. For reference:
We imported a DB Called: siebeldb We want to import/overwrite another DB into that same DB. We backedup the DB and moved the file to the new SQL server.
So:
Import/Restore: sbprd01(a backup file) into siebeldb
I hope that makes sense.
I have the following command that I am trying to execute in the SQL Query analyzer:
RESTORE DATABASE siebeldb FROM DISK='C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopsiebelprddb092509.bak' WITH MOVE 'siebelprddb_Data' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatasiebeldb_Data.mdf', MOVE 'siebelprddb_Log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatasiebeldb_Log.mdf', REPLACE
It is running right now, but seems to be running into errors. I just added the 'REPLACE' option according to the t-sql reference guide.
Does my script look ok? Am I doing anything wrong?
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.
The database in Mirrored server is always in the state of restoring only.
the database in mirrored server is restored with norecovery
then we started mirroring.
the status of mirroring is successfull and is synchronized.
but the Mirrored server is always in the state of restoting
not allowing use to open the database.
could any one know why this problem is comming and give some solution for this problem so that the mirrored database can be accessible opened and queryed to really verfiy that the changes made in principal database is mirrored to Mirrored database.
I seem to have a problem with one of my SQL Server Express databases. I started a restore task from a SQL Server 2005 BAK file (that included full-text data), which couldn't continue so I cancelled. Now, the database I attempted to restore to has the status "(Restoring...)".
This is a tiny database and a restore should (if it could) take only a few seconds.
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio (v9...).
Anyone know how to either cancel the restore or get the database into a good state again? I've tried stopping and starting (and restarting) the express instance, with no joy.
