SQL Express Restore And Backup Question

Jan 30, 2006

I had to rebuild my server and have re-installed SQL Express, before I formated the machine I did a full backup of one of my databases using the SQL mangement tool. Now when I go back to restore the data base says everything restored, but now getting sql error that store procedure is missing. I have the script that create all the tables and procedures but running this puts me all the way back when the database was new and wipes out all my information. I was expecting that when I do a complete backup the every aspect of the database would have been saved in the BAK files.

How Do I Restore SQL Express Database From Backup Created?

Nov 1, 2006

Hello,

I have managed to create a backup of my SQL Express database by using the Transact-SQL from article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241397.

I am not sure if it backed up the correct database, as in the script from the article, there is no where for me to specify my SQL Express database. The back up file that was created after I ran the script is, msdb.dat_bak.

Now if this is the correct database, how can I restore the data into my vb.net project that holds the SQL Express Database?

Thanks in advance.

Restore EXPRESS Edition Backup To SQL Server2005

Jul 11, 2007

I have sent a backup file I created in SQL Express to a client who has full version of MS SQL Server 2005.

They tell me that they cannot restore from the backup. I do not know what errors (if any they get, but am chasing them up for more details)

Is there a known problem restoring an Express .BAK file to SQL 2005?

The backups restore fine within SQLExpress.

Thanks

Can You Setup Backup/restore Functionality In SQL Express 2005 From A C# App?

Jan 3, 2006

Hi,

I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?

Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.

Thanks,

KingyNL

SQL Server Express: Restore, Backup And Attach Do Not Work Anymore && Database Locations Fault

May 7, 2008

Hello there,

I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.

Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.

And there are more problems see here:

Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"

But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.

Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????


Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press

Attach Databases -> Add

The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???


What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

Transact SQL :: Backup / Restore Tools Which Can Restore Multiple Environments

Jun 25, 2015

I 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.

How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File

Apr 1, 2008

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.

How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?

I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....

This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?

Oct 14, 2007

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).

Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.

Thanks!

Restore Backup

May 17, 2006

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad.  I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have.  I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion.  I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore.  Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder.  Can someone please help me on this?  I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Backup /Restore

May 24, 2001

Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"

Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'NetworkDevice', 'cabaanpubs.bak'

then

BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO NetworkDevice

it gives me an error saying


Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.

I don't really understand what's goin.

basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.

Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.

Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.

i appriciate your support and help .

Restore Of Backup

Aug 30, 2000

Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.

To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.

Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.

Hi All,

I've been working developing database on my PC @ work, and sadly enough would like to spend some time on it at home. To these ends I backed up the database at work where it restored fine. However have tried to restore the file at home and am getting an error saying the operating system cannot access the file. Is this something to do with NTFS permissions?

Thanks in advance

Backup/restore

hi,
I want to know if there is a way - other than backup and restore database (because restore takes too much time as the DB size grows) - to transfer all the data from one database on the server to another on a local SQLServer. it has to be done daily, so that the manager will always have an updated copy of the data on his machine.

Any help?
Thanks in advance
