I was trying to restore some databases from one SQL Server to another SQL server on another machine. When i backed up them i followed the procedure described on the MSDN website.
Now when tried to restore them on to a new machine on another instance of SQL Server i got the following error. I really dont know what it means. The error is:
"Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
Now from the file location i can see that it has got the location of database where it was belong but question is why it is storing the old path here on the backup file. On the path "MSSQL$SOPHOS" is the instance of the SQL Server from where it was backed up. According to the Administrator's pocketbook on the microsoft web site we can restore a database on a completely new machine, then why is this error. Can anyone please help me.
1. launch the DacIESvcCli.exe at specified time, which in-turn calls the service (southeast asia). 2. the bacpac is created and uploaded to the specified storage
However, after upgrading the Server to V12, it failed to create bacpac file in the storage, there are no errors/no logs/no information.
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005. A windows service account was setup for the SQLServer agent as(domainuser). Our backups are failing with the following message.
Unable to perform a SETUSER to the requested username 'dbo' because the username is invalid for database.
I am needing to restore a SQL server 7 database. I had a backup, but the media it was on has failed. I have copies of the folder the original database was in (.mdf files and such), but I was wondering if there is a way to re-integrate these files in order to pick up where we left off. Thank you.
Had a recent drive failure on or server. Subsequently Our sql database failed to backup. Ran dbcc checkdb and got the following errors:
Msg 8966, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Unable to read and latch page (1:241724) with latch type SH. 1(Incorrect function.) failed.Â
Msg 2533, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Table error: page (1:241724) allocated to object ID 370100359, index ID 3, partition ID 868679827259392, alloc unit ID 868679827259392 (type In-row data) was not seen. The page may be invalid or may have an incorrect alloc unit ID in its header.
I have SQL Server 2000 with SP4. When we take backup from Enterprise manager its fails with error "timeout expired". But when we take backup from query analyzer it works.
It seems that through enterprise manager 30 sec is the non configurable timeout parameter set. Checked sysprocesses table during backup but there was no blocking during that time at least for that spid.
Is there a way to find out which process is blocking the database backup? Also, what are the possible scenarios where database backup can be blocked.
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042. I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection Databases: <list of databases> Include indexes Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42. Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46. Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time. If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
I have a VM with Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2014 installed. Some things about the VM: Using VMware Workstation 11. Created with 160 GB hard disk and 4G memory (that's all we could do when needing to run multiple VMs from the box we're using). I am able to get to the internet and to our network but the internet connection tells me that there is no internet access and we can't seem to fix it.When I attempt to create a backup of one of my DBs, I receive the attached error. No other backup has been created for this particular DB so it would not need to overwrite anything. This is an issue for all of the DBs that are in the SQL Server and not just an isolated DB.
We ran DBCC CHECKDB against the DB and no errors were returned.A bit about the DBs: Our software creates a number of empty DBs upon install. For testing purposes we have DBs that are populated with data that we restore once the install is complete. So our procedure is, once all services are shut down for our software and the SQL connection has been cut, we delete the DBs created during install and restore the DBs that will replace them. All of the DBs restored successfully so I don't understand why there would be an issue with backing them up.Â
On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:
Backup failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the satement after the current backup or file manipulation is completed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK' WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF', MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF', REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME> FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error : Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

This is our live database, so I have to be careful with what I do. Some googling hasn't really helped. dbcc shows nothing. I've since tried removing the full text catalogs (that's what the file_id references in sys.database_files), but the 65538 file_id remains. So, if anyone knows how I can get around this to backup my data, I'd love to know.

Yestarday night we had a log backup failure at 3.00 AM on a sql server 2000. After that the hourly log backup's went on smoothly.
When I checked the sql server logs , it showed me the error:
Backup Disk File:Create Media:Backup Device 'D:mssqlackupvmwarevmware_log' failed Operating system error=32 ( The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)
I tried to google it , but could not get a good answer.
I have a problem with the backup. I made a new MaintenancePlan to take backup of the databases, but everytime I get an erroe message which it say's:
"[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DomainAdministrator', error code 0x5. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)"
"[298] SQLServer Error: 3621, The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)"
I tried to find out the problem but I couldn't. Is it something with AD in our domain or with the owner of the databases?

I got SQL agent backup failed problem which took me 2 days , but still couldn't figure out, so tired. Help please!!!
2 days ago,the database was using my domain account to logon both SQL server and SQL agent, the backup jobs worked good. Since I changed db to another domain account which has same permission as mine at both SQL server box and database, but almost all jobs got failed except "check integrity", and the error is "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User rose. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).". I checked the log files and backup report, could't get any clues, and I switch domain account back to mines, it works good . But my boss required me using another domain account , what should I do? HELP!!!
