SQL Server 2005 Master Database Restore To A Different Server

Apr 27, 2008

I have never done this in a DR scenario before. What I used to do in SQL Server 2000 was apply the logins to a new installation of SQL 2000 then recover the application databases. I'm using 2005 now and I'm in a different mode where I would like to be able to recover the system (master, model, msdb) to a different server with the same SQL Server 2005 build ---- 9.0.3054. I'm following the procedures from Microsoft where they state to place the instance in single user mode first then invoke SQLCMD then perform the restore. Sounds simple enough.
C:> SQLCMD
> RESTORE DATABASE MASTER from DISK = 'Z:MINIDRmaster_backup_200804200315.bak'

The console is coming back with a message that the backup set holds a backup other than the existing master database. So I suppose that this cannot be done and is only intended for recovery on the same instance.

Any input/experience is appreciated.

Thanks.

Restore Master DB To Another Server?

Jun 12, 2007

I have a full backup from ServerA. I then put ServerB in single user mode and try to restore the backup from ServerA. (both are identical servers but have different names)

[*- From command prompt using sqlcmd -*]

USE master
GO
RESTORE DATABASE master
FROM DISK = 'D:BACKUPSserverA.bak'
GO

Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Server MSSQL1, Line 1
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'master' database.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server MSSQL1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Any ideas on forcing the restore through T-SQL? The restore works fine from a master backup from itself (ServerB).

SQL SERVER 2005. RESTORE DATABASE FROM ONE SERVER TO OTHER

May 29, 2008



Hello, I have two servers (both of them with sqlserver2005) :
SERVER3 with the
Database: ReportServer$SQLSERVER2005TFSTempDB
and SERVER5 with the Dabase: ReportServerTempDB.

I''ve got a backup of the database in SERVER3, and I want to restore it in the database of SERVER5. As you see, they have different names(I don't know if this is a problem....)

So I try doing the following:


RESTORE DATABASE [ReportServerTempDB]

FROM DISK = N'C:TFSReportServer$SQLSERVER2005TFSTempDB_backup_200805282200.bak'

WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10

MOVE 'ReportServer$SQLSERVER2005TFSTempDB' TO

'C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataReportServerTempDB.mdf',

MOVE 'ReportServer$SQLSERVER2005TFSTempDB_log' TO

'C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataReportServerTempDB_log.ldf',

GO



And I am getting the following error:


Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4

Incorrect syntax near 'MOVE'.

Does anyone know why is throwing this error?
Thanks a lot!

Restore Master Database

I would like to restore the master database from a current backup tape but I got the error “Load database must be used in single user mode if trying to restore the Master database”. I tried to change the master database option but the option ‘single user’ cannot be changed for the ‘master’ database. Then I tried to start the SQL Server in Single-User Mode but I was not able to restore the master database from a tape.
Would anybody help me on how to restore the Master database like any other database?

Restore Master Database

Jan 18, 1999

Hello All,

I am going through the procedure of restoring the master database as described in the Microsoft SQL 6.5 Survival Guide by SAMS. I deleted the master.dat file from c:mssqldatamaster.dat. I went into setup and choose rebuild master database. After rebuilding the master database, I went into setup again to add the "-m" server option to start server in single user mode so I can load the master database from backup. Then I went into Enterprise Manager to start the server. The server started, but when I try to double click on the server. It gave me the following

" A connection could not be established to [server name] - SQL server login failed."

I try reregistering the server, but gave me the same error. The SQL server is using standard security.

Does anybody know what I did wrong?

RESTORE Master Database

Jan 8, 2002

Hallo

I do my backup using BACKUP database <myDB> TO DISK='D:BACKUPmyDB.bak'
I do this for ALL my databases every day.

Another product writes every day all the files on the server to tape EXCEPT the online databases because these files are open by SQL server 2000.

Now I restore the files of the tape to the server
This works well but I haven't got the online databases !!
And because the master database isn't available, SQL server wont start ...

BUT I have the backup of the master database 'D:BACKUPMaster_data.bak'

How can I use this master backup to do a restore even when SQL server can't start ?

Or must I do the bakup of the master database in another way ?

Restore Master Database

Apr 15, 2008

ALL,

When I attempt to restore a master database I am having some issues. I am using SQL Server 2000. I have set the start up option with -c -m to set the database in single user mode.

When I run the restore from enterprise manager I am get an popup window that is titled "SQL-DMo(odbc SQLSTATE:HY000)" with not message and then the database conection is lost. Thus the master datbase is appears to it was not resotred. As when I close enterprise manager and then restart the MSSQLSERVER service the database is in the same state.

Please advise on how i can get the Database restored.
Thanks
Chris

Restore Master Database After New Installation

Jul 11, 2001

Hi everyone,

HELP!

I was wondering if someone could help me. I need to re-install the SQL Server (due to a registry corruption). What I plan to do is to:

- Detach all databases (including master, pubs, and tempdb)
- Copy databases to a different folder
- Uninstall SQL Server
- Reinstall SQL Server
- Copy the databases back
- Reattach all databases

Will that preserver all the security? (e.g. syslogins and sysxlogins) Will using an old "master" database on a new install pose any problems?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Please email me at vchai@artinmotion.com

Thanks,
Vincent Chai

Restore Master Database - Permisssions?

Nov 22, 2004

I have 2 database servers, 1 @ production and 1 @ DR site.

To restore the master database to DR on a regular basis, I have to rely on either the DBA or SysAdm to perform the restore. It's pretty expensive, as they have to dedicate some time to do so.

I'm exploring the possibility of getting the Data Centre staff to do this instead, as they are stationed at the DR site. Please advise the SQL permisssions required to restore master database.

We are running SQL Server 2000.

SQL 2012 :: Restore Master Database For A New Database?

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured.
