Tran Log Backups Fail 40 Minutes After The Differential Backup.

Jul 14, 2006

Running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.

Database is in Full Recovery mode.

I have full backups scheduled weekly, differentails scheduled daily and tran log ackups scheduled for every 15 minutes.

The tran log backups only work for the first 40 minutes or so after the daily backup. Once the daily has occured, the tran backups will work again, but for only 40 minutes.

I run consistency checks on the db daily and there are no errors.

The error returned from the tran log backup is 'BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup'

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

SQL Server 2008 :: Restore To Point In Time DURING Differential Backup

Feb 25, 2015

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

Differential Backup File Fails To Restore.

Jul 19, 2007

We are doing the following steps:-

1. Weekly Full Bckup

2.Daily Differential backup

3.hr Log back up

The following command works fine for all the Backups. it means backup file is fine.

RESTORE FILELISTONLY from DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ full.BAK'

RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ ull.BAK'

RESTORE LABELONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'

RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'



Also The full back up restoration works fine:

RESTORE DATABASE Test3 FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'

WITH MOVE 'Test2_Data' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Data.MDF',

MOVE 'Test2_Log' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Log.LDF',

NORECOVERY

GO

/* RESULT :

Processed 1032 pages for database 'Test3', file 'test2_Data' on file 1.

Processed 1 pages for database 'Test3', file 'test2_Log' on file 1.

RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 1033 pages in 1.907 seconds (4.433 MB/sec).

*/

But While restoring the Differential file it throws error:

RESTORE DATABASE Test3 from DISK = 'D:Backupew est2_Diff1.bak'

WITH NORECOVERY

GO



Msg 3136, Level 16, State 0, Line 1

Cannot apply the backup on device 'D:Backupew est2_Diff1.bak' to database 'Test3'.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

I checked the SQL Server Log no error msg corresponding Differential backup restore.



I don't know how to proceed further.Can any one guide me how to over come this..



Thanks !

Error Attempting Restore Of Full/differential Backup

Sep 13, 2006

I am running the following script to attempt a restore of a differential backup:

RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks
FROM DISK='C:SQL2005_BackupsAutoBackupsAdventureWorks.bak'
WITH
NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks
FROM DISK='C:SQL2005_BackupsAutoBackupsAdventureWorksDiff.bak'
WITH RECOVERY
GO

I thought this was the way to do it. It does restore the full backup, but on the attempt to restore the differential backup, I get the following error:

Msg 3136, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state.

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Does anyone know what this means? Do I have to use "with recovery" on the first restore? (The sample I took this from used "with norecovery")

The original backups were done with SQL Agent scheduled jobs. The script for the full backup is:

BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks
TO DISK='C:SQL2005_BackupsAutoBackupsAdventureWorks.bak'

The script for the differential backup is:

BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks
TO DISK='C:SQL2005_BackupsAutoBackupsAdventureWorksDiff.bak'
WITH DIFFERENTIAL, INIT

All I can say is, it's a good thing I am testing this out with non-critical data, because I obviously don't know what I am doing. (Sorry, I'm primarily a programmer, not a DBA) Can anyone help?

Thanks

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup

Nov 16, 2015

I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

SQL 2012 :: Can Hacker Obtain Database Information From Unencrypted Differential Backup?

Sep 24, 2015

We are getting a security audit for the company I work for and got this question recently, and while my answer would be "everything is possible", I know that DIFFs alone can't restore a SQL database.

Having said that (and don't want to read hypothetical comments) how can a hacker read confidential information from an unencrypted DIFF backup? Let's say he steals the DIFF backup alone.

SQL Server 7.0 Differential Backup

Jun 14, 2000

Hello,

I'm trying to run a differential backup on our new 7.0 box. It fails with an error message number 3242 "The file on Device 'E:MyFile' is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format backup set."

Why "Tape Format" if I said "Backup database [mydb] to disk"?..

When I run exactly the same query without "Differential" I got a full db backup.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you,
Anastasia.

BACKUP And RESTORE SQL SERVER DATABASE

Jun 9, 2004

I want to backup an SQL Server database through a client application written in VB 6.0, and not through the Enterprize Manager.
I use the SQLDMO Objects Library to backup the database to the SQL Server machine through my application,
but there are the following problems:
a. The backup can be done only locally to the SQL Server machine. Is there any way to bypass this restriction?
b. To get the Directories Structure of this machine i use the xp_FixedDrives, xp_Subdirs stored procedures.
That's ok for the Backup operation but i do not have a way to view the FILES to perform Restore operation.
Of cource VB function Dir() cannot be used to view files on the server because of access restrictions.
Is there any workaround for that?

Restore SQL Server Database From A File Backup

Mar 19, 2001

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

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Append Differential Backup

Feb 10, 2015

Look at this scenario

1- I have created a backup device
2- I have created a maintenance plan full backup and run it - with overwrite option on the backup device
3- I have created a maintenance plan differential backup and run it with append option on the same file of backup device
4- I have created a maintenance plan log backup with append option on the same backup device

When I made restore database from the backup device i found three files the full and differential and log backup

5- I ran again the differential backup maintenance plan ( suppose to be ran everyday night )

when i made restore database I found only two backups the full and the last differential !!!

what I want to do is to take a full backup every week , append differential backup everyday and append log backup every hour

when I ran the last differential backup it erased the first differential and log backups, why is this happening and how to apply this scenario and keep the all differential backups on the same backup device .

SQL Server 2005 Full/Differential Backup Issues

Jun 29, 2007

Hi,

After some advice - I have a SQL Server 2005 database which is part
of an anti-virus setup. The main database is 25Gb is size, and it
is running in simple recovery mode. There are two backup jobs in
place, one to do a differential backup each Mon-Sat, and one to
do a full backup on Sun. Although the backups do get done they
are taking 5 hours to do. Any wiz out there care to suggest what
the problem is, I would've though that maybe an hour was more
acceptable ?

Cheers,

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restore Database Without Backup History In MSDB

Jul 23, 2014

What is the best way to restore a database from a folder of backups (including full, diff and log backups) without using the backup history in msdb?

I have a restore process that restores all backups on a regular schedule in order to fully verify their integrity. To do this, I use the backup history in msdb on each server that I'm monitoring. I had a thought the other day that I would be in trouble if I lost msdb. Then my backup history would only be as good as the last backup of msdb.

What I'd like to do is read a folder of backup files and generate a restore script up to a specified time. Would I use RESTORE HEADERONLY to do this? If so, would I use PowerShell to traverse each file in the folder?

restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'

Differential Backup Fails Because Of Erroneous Full Backup

Jul 19, 2007

Hi

I am using the Simple recovery model and I'm taking a weekly full backup each Monday morning with differentials taken every 4 hours during the day.

On Wednesday afternoon, a programmer ran a process that corrupted the db and I had to restore to the most recent differential. It was 5pm in the afternoon and a differential backup had just occured at 4pm. No problem, I figured.

I restored the full backup from Monday morning and tried to restore the most recent differential backup. The differential restore failed. Since I had used T-SQL for the initial attempt, I tried using Enterprise Manager to try again.

When viewing the backup history, I see my initial full backup taken on Monday plus all the differentials. BUT, on closer inspection, I noticed another full backup in the backup history that was taken early Tuesday morning. I can't figure out where this Tuesday morning full backup came from. It wasn't taken by me (or scheduled by me) and I'm the only one with access to the server. My full backups are usually named something like HCMPRP_20070718_FULL.bak. This erroneous full backup was named something like HCMPRP_03a_361adk2k_dd53.bak. It seemed like it was a system generated name. Not something I would choose. To top it off, I could not find this backup file anywhere on the server and when I tried to restore using this full backup, it failed.

Does anyone have any clues as to where this full backup might come from? Does SQL Server trigger a full backup on its own if some threshold is reached?

I ended up having to restore using the differential taken just before this erroneous full backup and lost a day of transactions.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
