SQL Server 2008 :: Restore BAK File To Different Server?
Jun 30, 2015
I am trying to restore a database to a different server from where the backup was created using the following script:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'C:ExtractREZ_db_201506240733.BAK'
RESTORE DATABASE [REZ]
file = 'DB_1',
file = 'REZ_bio',
file = 'REZ_gift',
file = 'REZ_index',
[code].....
Although I have done this successfully a couple of other times before, I am not very knowledgeable about the restore process. what I am doing wrong?

UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?

I have a backup that comes to me nightly in the format of XXXX_YY_MM_DD.bak where the date is incremented each night the previous night backup is deleted when the next days is added so in general . I have only one in that folder. I wanted to setup a restore to run nightly
RESTORE DATABASE [XXXData] FROM DISK = 'C:folderExtractedDataapp_XXX_backup_15_01_28.bak' --location of .bak file
WITH REPLACE
I would like to do something like
RESTORE DATABASE [XXXData] FROM DISK = 'C:folderExtractedDataapp_XXX_backup*.bak' --location of .bak file
WITH REPLACE
While I'm asking.. In case there is an older one left behind(which shouldn't happen) I saw something about "LATESTFULL" but think its a redgate command?

SQL Transaction replication, specifically SQL backup and restore Transaction replication. So Scenario,
S1 = Primary Server 1
R1 = T - Replication Server 1
R2 = T - Replication Server 2
So we have S1 replicating to R1, and we want to build another subscriber which is R2.
Can I take the Replicated Database from R1, backup it up, then restore it to R2, and create the publication/subscription?
Will that work? if not, is there an easier way to avoid the snapshot? the reason i ask this is because we do have replication snapshot, but takes long. One of my Colleagues stated he tried this, however replication made duplicate rows on R2, which is why he had to use replication snapshot.

We use Netbackup for our SQL servers to backup and restore databases. I would like the service account used by Netbackup to have as limited permissions as possible. The account should be able to backup and restore a db without being able to read any of the content. Right now the account jobs fail if the service account is not in the sysadmin role.
I removed the account from sysadmin and limited it to dbcreator and public but the job fail.
How to setup an account so that people who know the service account password can't log in with that account and read db information?

I have a new problem with doing a restore of a number of databases using powershell. The script I'm using is based mainly on this one (Part 2 in particular): [URL] .....
The problem I'm having is around the RedgateGetDatabaseName function. My hunch is that its down to the different version of red gate and how sqlbackup works. Basically when the call is made to the function it is returning both the Database Name and the number of row's that the SQL command in the function has ran. I've tried to include a SET NOCOUNT ON at the start of the SQL command in the function but its still returning the now count.

I have a database used in SSRS in which I get a backup daily and restore it to database "DATA"
The issue I come across is SSRS has a datareader user(ssrsuser) for access to the "report store" web where users get reports
access gets erased on each restore. Can I add something to my job to restore this user after each restore or keep the settings?
declare @Bakpath varchar(80)
set @bakpath = 'C:EDataExtractedDataextract.bak'
Use Master
Alter Database [Data]
SET SINGLE_USER With ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
RESTORE DATABASE [Data] FROM DISK = @bakpath --location of .bak file
WITH REPLACE
GO

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from www.pcamerica.com
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often - the last one is dated January 5, 2015.
I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.

Can I use a full and differential backup to restore to a point of time?
Or I have to use full and transaction log backups in order to do a point of time restore?
I found today when I tried to restore a db from another database at the point of time for example 3:10 pm,
SSMS automatically select the full backup + the transaction backup that is done at 3:00 pm, but not select full + the differential backup I did at 3:12pm.
So I lost those records entered after 3:00pm.
I supposed it should use the differential backup and restore to 3:10. but it didn't.

I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past.
2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option.
3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?

We have a 1TB Database. Our backup strategy looks like this.
Weekly Full backups - Saturday 10pm. (Takes anywhere between 5 - 9 hours)
twice Nightly Diffs (8:30p and 2:30am - Mid week this takes roughly 1.5 hours)
Hourly Log backups starting at 4:00am until 11pm.
I have an issue where I need to restore to 3:00 today. If my (2:30a)Diff is still running at that recovery point.
I am getting an error when trying to restore Full/2:30a Diff/4a Log with a stopat 3:00a.
Error telling me my log backup is incorrectly formed.
Can I, in fact, restore to this point at all? Do I need to go back to my previous Diff (8:30p) and restore the logs, if so, which ones?
My nighttime Diff ran from 8:30 - 10p.
I have logs at 9p, 10p, 11p, 4a

I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.

Hello,
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile.
I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by,
1. Create the database with the same name.
2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so,
I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated.
If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
MMS

Hi All,
In SQL Server 2000(Sql Query Analyzer), I had opened a main program file for debugging purpose.
Somehow by mistake its entire contents get replaced/deleted.
I don't have the backup.
I would appreciate anyone who can save me by advising to restore this program.

I have one .mdf and two .ndf files on the same drive. The .mdf file size =275GB, one .ndf file size = 300GB and other .ndf file size = 135GB. Is this normal to have 3 different file size? if not what can I do to fix this? I don't have option to make all files to initial size equal to 300GB as a .ndf.If I have to add a .ndf file (in case of running out the above drive), what initial file size should I set up for new file on new drive? And how data gets distributed across all 4 files (including new .ndf on different drive)?

Hi everybody,
On executing the RESTORE command of SQL Server to restore from a backup of 78.3 MB, the "Server Application Unavailable" error message comes up.The error message in the Application log is as follows:aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 2184) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the 152 MB (60 percent of available RAM).
However using Query Analyser of SQL Server I am able to restore the database.
What is the solution to this problem?

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.

I am working on a project for an SQL job. I am:
1.) Taking a database out of an availability group,
2.) Setting the recovery to simple,
3.) Shrinking the log file,
4.) Setting the recovery mode back to full,
5.) Then backing it up.
I need to restore the file to my secondary server with replace and non recovery mode. I am having trouble performing that call? I have the code to reestablish the database to the availability group if I can get the restore feature working.
