SQL Server Restoring Using Transaction Log
Mar 3, 2008
Hi All
Iam new to Sql server.
I have a huge transactional table in sql server 2005 database which is updated very frequently. By mistake some update was on the table, which updated all the records in the table. Now I want to restore the table using Transaction log (as log maintains all the transactions). I dont have any backups available.How can I restore my database using transaction log. please suggest me the steps.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Deep.

Hi all,
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

I am trying to restore a set of transactions logs on my SQL server and I keep getting the following error 'The preceding restore operation did not specify with NO RECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step. RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Can someone please show me how to properly restore a set of backup logs with specifying the required recovery option?
Thanks

I cannot restore a backup file of the transaction log without getting the following message:
ODBC SQL State: 42000
The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step.
I have tried to do this in Enterprise manager and with the following script with the same results:
RESTORE Log TestDB
FROM DISK='D:MSSQL7BACKUPMMTrans'
WITH NORECOVERY
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have scheduled a database backup at 9 pm and 5 Transaction Log backups. The transaction Log backups happen at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm (device does not get initialized) and one at 11 pm where i initialize the backup device. now i have another server with the same database on it. I restore these backups on to this server by simple copying the files and then doing Restore ...From Device...Add file...option. I am able to restore the DB backup but when i try to restore the log backups it get the error msg -
'Specified file 'G:...' is out of sequence. current time stamp is Feb 9 2000 3:54 pm while dump was from Feb 9 2000 3 pm.'
When i am restoring the logs i start from the 1st backup buyt still i get this error. Can someone pls let me know what the problem is and how to resolve it. Thanks.

I was trying to restore a transaction log when I got this.
What does this mean? I can't find anything by Googling on the
'fixed' parts of the message.
The file 'xx' cannot be moved by this RESTORE operation

Hey all,
Just went through migrating to SQL 2005 as well and we have a need to apply log shipping between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Well not shipping per say in the automated fashion that SQL 2005 offers but rather we need to apply SQL 2000 transaction logs to a SQL 2005 instance. Though the database is still in SQL 2000 version 80 and the secondary database needs to be available in read only. (STANDBY MODE)
When I attempt to restore either a FULL backup or transaction log I get the error:
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. This backup cannot be restored using WITH STANDBY because a database upgrade is needed. Reissue the RESTORE without WITH STANDBY
The only way I could restore the FULL was by using the WITH RECOVERY OR NORECOVERY option during the restore process. The issue with this is I need the database in standby by mode in order to continue to append transaction logs.
Anybody have any thoughts how I might be able to get around this?
Thanks
Eric

I am new to this environment and was asked to ensure that the transaction log shipping for SQL 2005 on W2K3 boxes is working properly. I noticed the db's on the secondary server are show "Restoring..." I am not sure if these were set up in No Recover Mode or Standby Mode. I have no access to the secondary db's. I get an error message when trying to access them (error 927). Monitoring was not set up initially and as you may or may not know can't be turned on after the fact...unless you delete the job and start over.
My question is is "Restoring..." normal and what does it indicate?

We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.
Message #1
The replication agent has been successfully started. See the Replication Monitor for more information.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

Hi All
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON
Begin distributed Tran
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1

if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.

I have a database that I am restoring from a different server. I have created the devices and the database to match that of the original. However, on clicking restore I get the following error:
[SQL Server] User specified volume id 'SS0001' does not match te volume id ' SQL001' of the device <database path>.
This seems to imply that I cannot restore to a different server, but from what I have read about other problems here, this isn't true. Can anyone shed any light as it is most frustrating.

Hi!
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Is this true? Is there any way for me to get this data into my SQL Server 2005 express on my laptop?

Hi
I have another question : 1) Restoring SQL Server Databases after uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server.
Two days ago there was some problem with Norton Antivirus, so Windows 98 restored itself to a previous state. The SQL Server name was not available when I tried to start again, so I had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server. I started a new Database just a week before this happened (the change from Access to SQL Server as I stated in the other thread http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=987880) and after reinstallation I could not access the Database any more - even while it is in the Data directory. I did not have any backup to restore from - I just started creating tables, so there was only the Log file created and the MDF database file. I tried to import it for a while to the new server, but as the database is not shown in the new server, it was unable to import like I hoped. So how do you restore it back to SQL Server when you have no backup and only the (undamaged) MDF database file if you only have one server? I had to recreate the Database from scratch again - I don't want it to happen again.
Regards
Corné

When I restore db from backup on another server, it always remebers the source db path. This is very annoying as drive mappings are different. I have to go and manually change those paths each time to point to the existing mdf... Is there any way so I do not have to do this???

Hi!
I attempted to backup a database on server x and restore it on a database on server y. The details are as follows.
Server X
Database name : dbx
Size :263.88MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dbx_data, dbx_log
Physical files : e:mssql7datadbx_data.mdf, f:databaselogsdbx_log.ldf
Server Y
Database name : dby
Size :1MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dby_data, dby_log
Physical files : d:mssql7datadby_data.mdf, d:mssql7datadby_log.ldf
I created a full database backup of dbx on server x at the location, f:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AM. The size of the file is 272MB. I zipped the file. Copied the file, dbx_083099_10.30AM.xip over to d:ackups of server y. I unzipped the file at server y to the location, d:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM.
I now tried to restore this backup on server y using the statement,
restore database dby from disk = 'd:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM
with replace,
move 'dbx_data' to 'd:mssql7datadby_data.mdf',
move 'dbx_log' to 'd:mssql7datadby_log.ldf'
I get the following errors :
Server: Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'd:' to create the database. The database requires 3219128320 additional free bytes, while only 2047102976 bytes are available.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
Error log shows,
1999-08-30 10:28:54.68 kernel BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: Backup device 'd:ackupdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM' failed to open. Operating system error = 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).

I want to create a database that is identical to one I currently have for testing purposes. I took a backup and tried to restore it to
another server to actually create the database. It wouldn't work, then I created the database on that server and gave it the exact
name and file layout (dbid was different) and tried to restore the backup to the newly created database. Still would not restore.
I am using SQL 7 for backkup and restore. The backup device backs up to disk on the servers. What I am doing wrong?
