SQL2005 Restore Database From Media Tape Terminate Abnormally!
Apr 11, 2007
I backup the database into tape0 using management studio and can see the contents in the backup media.
However when I tried to restore, the error "timeout expired" appears and sometimes together with the error "restore headeronly is terminated abnormally".
Please advice and thank you in advance!
Below is the error message:

Hello,I am getting the rather odd error below; hope you can help.RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. File 'C:Program FilesMicrosoftSQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc' is claimed by'sysft_KB_SearchAssetsCatalog'(65540) and 'sysft_KB_SearchCatalog'(65537).The WITH MOVE clause can be used to relocate one or more files.I get this from an app our company uses to programatically restoredatabases. Below are the queries we are using:Create database trial_44testingcselect COUNT(*) as TOTAL from sysdatabases where name = 'trial_44testingc'RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM disk ='C:HostedTrialManagementAppSourcedb43_trialmas ter'RESTORE DATABASE trial_44testingc FROM disk ='C:HostedTrialManagementAppSourcedb43_trialmas ter' WITH RECOVERY , MOVE'43_trialmaster' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc.mdf', MOVE '43_trialmaster_log'TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc.ldf', MOVE'sysft_KB_SearchCatalog' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc', MOVE'sysft_KB_SearchTicketsCatalog' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc', MOVE'sysft_KB_SearchTicketsCatalog2' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc', MOVE'sysft_KB_SearchAssetsCatalog' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData rial_44testingc'This had been working great until I made some updates to the table structureof the db and created a new backup.Any ideas?TIAJake
Currently I was reading about how to create a backup and i have some questions and i hope to find helpful answers..
what is back up media ,device and tape ? how to initialize the media and what is the need for something like that ? what about media headers that must be written ?
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 know the basic defiinition of these two options, but i am not very clear why would someone choose one over another, currently I am using Append to Media option, and every day backup, I see my backup files growing in size.
can someone give me nice example about these two options,
'm a noob, using MS SQL 2005. Trying to use a stored procedure I got from SQL 2000 DB integrity to work with 2005. Receiving:
Message Executed as user: MMCRSDOM eletracksql. Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. [SQLSTATE 21S01] (Error 213) RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
My company is planning to purchase a SQL2005 standard Processor license (unlimited users - about $5000)
Does anyone know if we can obtain SQL2000 media along with the purchase. Because of the app we are running and its stage of development, we have to install and run SQL2000 for about 6 months before we can run Sql2005. We dont want to purchase SQL2000 for such a short term use.
I asked a DELL rep to help me with this over a month ago and he still has no answers for me.
currently if I want to restore 1 db to another i do
RESTORE DATABASE userr FROM DISK = 'd:sqlbackupsuser.bak' WITH MOVE 'user' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAuserr.mdf', MOVE 'user_log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAuserr_log.ldf',
REPLACE
now I am backing up my db to a media - How can I do the same restore above but from that media (I don't remember what I made the media point to -- how can I find this out)
We currently built a new SQL2005 server and have serveral sentitive Payroll database hosted in it. I managed to seperate some roles to various users to prohibit them to direct access the data but can access it via front-end application.
The problem is I setup a backup operator with the following rights
Server Roles -- Public
User Mapping
User Mapped to this login / Database membership for
PayrollDataBase_1 BackupOperatorName
db_backupoperator / db_denydatareader / db_denydatawriter / public
However, I try to login using the 'BackupOperatorName' in my workstation and Backup the PayllrollDataBase_1 to a server shared path says E:SqlDataBacupPayrollDataBase_1.BAK. Afterward, I copy it over the network back to my workstation and RESTORE in back to my local SQL2005 instant using the local SQL2005 SA user. All data CAN BE browse
Anyone please help to post how to restrict the Backup operator can only Backup the database but cannot restore to its local SQL2005 instant
hi, We have a service provider that handles the SQL database for us. And every month we will receive a Tape backup of the updated database from them for in house development purpose.
Anyways, I tried to restore the Tape backup I recently received and I kept on getting this error message: "The media family on device 'Tape0' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. Backup or resotre operation terminating abnormally."
I have set the Complete Database backup and the Overwrite option for this particular restore. Please help, any idea is apperciated.
Just for background info: I am trying to take a backup of a DB made from a Server(#1) located on a client site and restore to a server that is in house Server(#2). Both servers are running SQL Server 6.5 and all configuration settings are the same except Server(#1) has (DB Lib Ver 6.50.213) and Server(#2) has (DB Lib Ver 6.50.201).
When I try to restore the DAT tape (backup made from Server #1) onto Server #2 I get these errors in this order: 1st --[DB-Library] Unexpected EOF from SQL Server. Connection broken.-- 2nd --Error 605 [SQL Server] Attempt to fetch logical page 72915 in database 'DBname' belongs to object '0', not to object 'sysobjects'.--
Does anybody have any ideas and what could be causing these errors? Would the different DB-Library versions cause these errors?
I know the tape isn't corrupt because the tape can be used to restore on Server(#1).
My Vista system hangs immediately after I insert the second blank DVD. I'm doing a simple backup of my user files. I'm using Vista Premium, fully up to date with patches, minimal software installed because this system is 100% used as a Media Center. Hardware is off the shelf HP Media Center m8067n.
I checked Microsoft knowledgebase and no other similar cases popped up. Is anyone else experiencing this?

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.
Hi I have two database called test1 and test2 both are of same size(both device and log). I run the following statements to take the backup of both the databases using the tape device 'tapedevice1'. dump database test1 to 'tapedevice1' dump database test2 to 'tapedevice1' After this I run the load statement load database test2 from 'tapedevice1'. It just restore the database test2 with test1 data which is added first to the tape with a warning. Is there any restriction that in a single tape backup of more than one database is not possible. Your valuable suggestion appreciated Jiji
I'm trying to test my backups by restoring from production onto a DEV machine.
However, when I insert the backup tape into the drive, then go into SSMS and right click on Databases -> Restore Database -> From Device .... -> Tape -> Add -> (my tape drive \.Tape0) -> Contents it displays the contents as it should.
So I click "Close" to close the contents and bring me back to the Specify Backup where I have \.Tape0 selected and I then click "OK" SSMS sits for a few seconds, and then I get a time out error message:

That's all the further I can get... any suggestions?
"Database 'MyDatabase' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally."

The VB application is running from an Open SQL Server 2005 user account - ie No user account has been created for it. Do anyone know how I can resolve this issue from VB 2005 Express.

Hi, I'm from Argentina. I made a backup of my database from ServerA (SQL 2000) and trying to restore it to ServerB (SQL 2005) I'm getting the following error: "The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided".
Restoring a DB from sql 2005 (which is located on my local computer) into sql 2000 (which is located on the server) and I am getting this type of message:

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to restore a single database from tape if no backup jobs have been ran or setup for this database. However, the server itself has been backuped to tape. So I would like to restore this database from the server tape backup. If so, how do I accomplish this?

I can do the backup to disk normally, but I need to do to tape.
Hi, I back up SQL Server 2000 and SQL server 2005 databases to hard disk using the SQL Server Backup Wizard and maintenance plans. Then, I copy the resulting backups to tape using third party tape backup software and compression by the backup software and hardware. I do not use the SQL Server Agent available for the third party backup software. Is this acceptable, or does the compression performed by the third party backup system introduce opportunities for database corruption or other negative effects?
You know when restoring a database in SQL Server, exclusive access is required. With sp_who I can see the clients. But I don't know how to terminate the client connections easily. Usually I have to stop the server and restart it. I DO think it's too troublesome. Do you have any ideas? Is there any sp or command, or tool that may help? How do you deal with this issue?
I am from NTU, Singapore and we have a windows 2003 server edition installed on a DELL server and it also runs MS SQL server 2000 for a project of ours. We have installed a HP tape drive on the dell server and it works fine if ntbackup is used at the command prompt but then the SQL enterprise manager does not recognize the tape drive and backing up of our database is of high priority as it contains sensitive information. But the tape drive is installed properly as the device manager does not show any error and ntbackup also recognizes it. I cant seem to figure out why SQL server 2000 cannot recognize it. It would be very helpful if you could kindly guide me on this issue.
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?
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
This is the problem which we face now and then. There is an automated job that run everyday night to restore the Database for reporting purposes. Before running that job an NT Task Schedular stop starts the sql server. This is to make sure that all the connections are closed. Nobody uses it at Night. But some times the job fails with bellow error message...
"Database in use. The system administrator must have exclusive use of the database to run the restore operation. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3101) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013) Associated statement is not prepared [SQLSTATE HY007] (Error 0). The step failed."
Should I make the DB option set to single user mode. I don't think that is the problem.. because it runs fine most of the time..but sometime it fails. Please help.. Thanks in advance :-)
