SQL Server 2000 Cannot Restore
Jul 23, 2005
Hello All,
I am not a SQL Server expert, but I have been put in a pretty
precarious situtation and I am close to panicking :( I have need to
restore a SQL database from backup (through Enterprise Manager). The
database got corrupt and I detached it, then was unable to attach it
again. I created a new database with the same name and file names to
restore to. When I go to All Tasks, restore, and restore from a
previously run full backup, it says "SQL Server is currently in the
process of restoring the backup set," but the progress bar does not
budge. I look in the data folder and see the full sized transaction
logs (35GB I know, need to be shrunk). The .mdf file remains at 1024K
though. Do I need to just wait longer? Normally when restoring from a
SQL Server .BAK file, the progress is shown to me as it goes along. I
do not know what to do here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I
apologize for sounding like a newbie, but with SQL Server, I am
definitely in that category.
Thanks,
-D

Dear all,
I have a backup for SQL server database.
It use differential backup.
I use following steps to restore the database to one of date's backup,because I want to monitor this date's data.
(1) restore a set of the complete backup first.
and select " Leave database nonoperational but about to restore additional transaction logs"
(2) restore one of date's backup, the backup number is 70.
if I restore the backup number by sequence after a set of complete backup is restore, it is ok
But I can not restore them by sequence,because there are many diffenential backup.
The error message is :
Cannot apply the backup on device 'c: empCk2006backup' to database 'CK2006'.
Restore database is terminating abnornally.
I have tried to use following choice :
Force restore over existing database
Leave database operational. NO additional tracsaction logs can be restored.
Leave database nonoperational but able to restore additional transaction logs.
Leave database read-only and able to restore addtional transaciton logs.
But it also failed to restore.
How should I do?
Thanks you

Is there a way to restore a "single" object in SQL Server 2000? (I only need 1 table and 1 stored procedure restored -- however it appears as though I need to restore the ENTIRE DB to get to these!)
thx.

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
Ola Hallengren

scott writes "Hi!
I have been asked to write a DTS package that copies a database (call it DBOLD) to another database (call it DBNEW) every night. I do the following:
BACKUP DATABASE DBOLD_App
TO DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak'
WITH INIT
GO
Then I do the following:
RESTORE DATABASE DBNEW FROM DISK = 'C:ackupDBOLD.bak' WITH MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Data'
TO '... the new one .MDF', REPLACE,
MOVE 'DBOLD_App_Log' TO '... the new one.LDF', REPLACE
The RESTORE often (but not always) fails, particularly if 2005 Reporting Services has queried the data in DBNEW during the day. There should be no-one using the DBNEW overnight when the DTS package runs, so I have permission to "toss then overboard" if they are (note - DBNEW is effectively read-only, for reporting purposes, and is completely refreshed each night, so lost updates etc are not an issue).
How can I force the restore to proceed? I've tried dropping, detaching/attaching but the existing connection(s) apparently prevent this. I dont care about the contents of DBNEW as the data is conmpletely refreshed each night.
If you have any ideas I would be pleased to hear them...
Thanks in advance...Scott"

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?

Hi,
I've got a question regarding attaching/restoring of DBs and wonder if anyone could help me out.
Does SQL Server 2000 provide a functionality to attach/restore DB automatically? ie, some kind of polling service to attach/restore DB that were detached previously?
Thanks
Danny.

I am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message. "Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
What can I do to restore the database? Must it be backed up with SQL server 2000 and then restored with SQL Server 2005?
Please help!

I was running Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 2000. I put backups of all my SQL Server 2000 databases on hard disk d: and the operating system and applications on c:/. I then reformatted c:/ (but left d:/ intact) and installed Windows XP Home. Then I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition.
I would like to now restore the backups of the SQL Server 2000 databases (still intact on drive d:/) to SQL Server 2005, but I get a variety of error messages.
I suspect that I am going about this the wrong way. I have done several hours of research in the documentation without success. I cannot attach the SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 because it is a backup, not a database. I cannot migrate the databases as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 because (a) they are back-ups, and (b) I don't have SQL Server 2000 installed when I install SQL Server 2005.
Is there a solution?
TIA

We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server.
We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Is there a way to get this backup done?

In Windows Server 2012. How do I do a System Restore to a previous restore point?I need to install the 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle Client Install for connections in SSIS and to create Oracle Linked Servers.
If you make a mistake it is not fun removing it. Sometimes it corrupts the machine and it is difficult to uninstall since there is not an Oracle Universal installer for Oracle 11g.If you install the 32 bit before the 64 you mess up the machine.how to create a restore point.

I am installing SQL 2000 on a brand new server. Once installed I will need to restore my db's from our current SQL 7.0 server. I know I can restore the user db's. I've read that you can not restore the MSDB and master db's. So What steps would I take to make sure I get all the info in these db's? I found an article on how to transfer logins and passwords, so that should get me my logins. I'm guessing I'll have to script up my packages /jobs somehow. How do I go about doing this? And what else am I missing that I will need to do in order for my master/msdb to contain everything that it contained on the SQl 7.0 server?
Also should I make the server name the same as the server name on the current box or do I have to make it another name? I'm talking about under the SQL server group.
Also I would like to keep the 7.0 version up for a bit and just make sure the 2000 side is working the way I want to . Our db are datawarehouse db that we use with another software package. So I will need to make changes there before I can totally turn it over to use the SQL 2000 db's One I've done this then I'll be ready for the switch. I will then restore the SQL 7.0 db again on the sql 2000 server and should be ready to go at that time.
What else am I missing. Any tips/precautions?

Hi...
I am trying to restore a week-old backup from a file of one database to a different (new) database for development. This is something that I do on a regular basis and have never had issues before. Now it is failing using both QE and Enterprise Mangler and am getting this error message:
Server: Msg 3135, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The backup set in file 'D:BACKUPS......bak' was created by BACKUP DATABASE...FILE=<name> and cannot be used for this restore operation.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I have tried this....
RESTORE DATABASE temp_new_db
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH REPLACE
And this....
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE temp_bio_remote
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPS..mybackupfile.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Original_DB' TO 'D: emp_new_db.mdf',
MOVE 'Original_DB_log' TO 'D: emp_new_db..ldf'
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Many thanks,
Caspar
