I am using SQL server 2005 9.00.3042 . When I go to databases restore, restore to Northwind, from device I select backup device and select SDLT. The actual backup device is LTO3. The error is an exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement of batch

I am trying to restore a 2005 backup to a 2005 database on another server. This has worked for me before. I have tried to take the backup 5 times now and each time I get the error media family incorrectly formed. Since I have successfully backed up and restored before between these same two databases I do not understand what is wrong now.
I found other questions with this error; however, they were taking a 2000 backup to a 2005 database. I am using a backup of a 2005 database to a 2005 restore.
From everything I'm reading, I shouldn't be getting this error in 2005: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3205) I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 (Express) on same dev box, have loaded SP 4 for 2000, I'm trying to restore this in 2005. Why am I still getting this error? Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks. Sheryl

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?
I have a SQL Server 2005 Database that I would like to export to SQL Server Express.

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?

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.
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.
I have a file backup database SQL Server 2000 I want to restore it to SQL Server 2005. But it failed. I try : Database ( right-click) - Restore Database - From Device - Specify Backup Add Locate Backup File. I must choose File of Type is All File so that i can find file backup from SQL 2000, if i choose File of Type is *.bak,*.trn so i cannot find that file. And then i choose OK all. But it failed.

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.

I have a problem restoring a Read-Only filegroup in a database. I've restored the Read/Write filegroups first without any problem.
Then, I am able to recover Read-Only filegroups which do not contain fulltext indexes with the command : RESTORE DATABASE GSM FILEGROUP = 'FG_RO_20080214' WITH RECOVERY
However, for filegroups containing FullText indexes (Fulltext indexes are in the same filegroup as data used for this index), I always get the following error :
Server: Msg 3149, Level 16, State 6, Line 1 The file or filegroup "sysft_CAT_SM_20080127" is not in a valid state for the "Recover Data Only" option to be used.

I'm working on a restore procedure for the case where all MDF filesare missing, but the LDF files are all intact. A full backup is doneevery 24 hours, and a log backup is done every 3 hours. Afterrestoring the last full + log backups, is it at all possible to usethe LDF files to recover data from that point up to a newer point intime?I've found a post which explains how to do this on SQL Server 2000<http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ms-sqlserver/browse_thread/thread/3ef5c7cbc0a83334/f3b0c70811d35ed7>, but step 4fails with the following error message:BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current databasebackup.
