T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Unable To Restore Backup File To Different Database

May 28, 2014

I created a dummy database (TomsTest) and then I try to restore my other database "DEV" to it.Normally, you have to use the Move for both the mdf and ldf files to tell it to restore to another database.But the message I am getting is: The file 'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'TomsTest'.

USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [DEV] FROM DISK = N'D:SQLBackupDEV_backup_2014_05_28.bak' WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N'Dev' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf',
MOVE N'DEV_log' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 5

Of course it is in use, that's always the case. Even if I put it in single use mode, it still doesn't work.I tried it on another machine and had the same problem. Not sure why. If I call it the same name, it works fine but I don't want to overwrite the original database, I just need to get some data from the backup.

Backup/Restore From/to Compressed Files

Apr 24, 2007

Hi everyone,



already tried this in other SQL forums, but maybe i have some luck here.



I need mainly to restore database backups from customers. They arrive in all kind of formats (zip, rar, gz). I'd like to be able to restore those directly from the compressed file, because i'm talking up to 7GB rar files which take a while to uncompress in a separate step.



I'm working for 6 years in R&D environments, but mostly on Linux/Oracle where this is an easy task using pipes, but i haven't found a sinlge web page, post or even script to do this with MSSQL. The VDI is not really what i'm looking for, so aren't backup software like SQLBackup, Litespeed etc. because i can't force the customer to use those.



Anybody any idea or even the same problem maybe with solution?

Thx.

RESTORE DATABASE Timeout In SQL 2000 With Large Backup Files

Sep 11, 2007



Hello,

I am attempting to restore the database from within VB.NET application I am making the following 3 calls:

RESTORE FileListOnly FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'

USE Master RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat' WITH NORECOVERY, MOVE 'MyDatabase' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMyDatabase.mdf', MOVE 'MyDatabase_log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataLDFMyDatabase.ldf', REPLACE

RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'


using SMO. This logic works fine with small *.dat files, however when using *.dat file of about 4Gb I get an error on the 3d restore database call:



ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.

ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.



The same program/logic also works fine when I use MS SQL 2005 and it runs fine from MS SQL 2005 Query Analyzer for both 2005 and 2000 databases. There seem to be only problem with MS SQL 2000 from within VB.NET. Anybody has any idea? I'd appreciate any response. Thanks

Database Restore - Logical Filename

Apr 10, 2001

Hello All,

I am facing problem with Logical File Name while restoring database. I am taking a backup of ABC database from Server1 in abc.bak file.

Then I am creating new database XYZ on Server2. Server1 and Server2 are not connected to each other in anyway, since both servers belong to different companies. Here on Server2 I want to restore backup of abc.bak on XYZ database. I select restore from Device, and on option tab I am selecting Force restore over existing database, in the below option I am specifying current Data & log file path for Move to physical file name.
But Logical file name shows ABC names, but if I tried to change those to XYZ names then restore fails. But if I keep ABC names then it works.

Is anybody knows how to over come this Logical Name issue?

Many thanks in advance….

Regards,
Santosh

SQL 2012 :: Alter Logical FileName During Restore

Aug 12, 2015

Can two databases have same logical filenames in the same instance?

In my instance, database already exists say A.

I have to restore DB B with the same backup used for database A in the same instance.

So, once the database B is restored, A and B will have same logical fileNames.

Can I leave it as is? Or do i alter only after B is restored?

Or is there a way where I can change the logical file for B while restoring?

Automatic Restore By Script ...

Mar 11, 2006

I´m looking for some feedback on an automated restore system for SQL server i wrote. Any hints and discussion will be appreciated.
Here is the concept. It´s not only an idea, it is existing and it is working:

Goal
If our main SQL servers may have crashed and cannot be fixed, what we all want is to restore our lasted backup of the database to another system in the shortest possible period of time.

All this begann, when I realized, that a restore of a full backup + all TRN-Backups to a new "clean" Sql system would be a nightmare when having some 80 TRN-files (we save the T-Logs every 10 minutes), since that new Sql server won´t have any backup history. One of the solutions I was offered, was the usage of ArcServe, but I´m not one of the fans of that software.
Besides that, I wanted to shorten the time, until my StandBy Server would be up und running to a MINIMUM.

My current solution for this are 2 VB-scripts I wrote. YES - this has been realized with VBS. The Transact SQl commands are only the subsequent steps in that szenario.

What we´ve got
We have a main SQL server, and a "Standby Server" with the SQL Server software pre-installed. If the main server crashes (although there is extreme redundancy) we want to RESTORE the latest full backup plus all TRNs stored after that full backup to the Stby Server and work can go on.

We do a full backup every night at 1:00 am and TRNs every 10 minutes from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm, and store these files to a 1.5 TB NAS device. We don´t like tapes, have no experience with those and the VN scripts will only work for backups sent to disk!

VB-script 1
This script is executed every morning at 5:00 am on the Standby machine by the task manager. It:

- searches the latest Backup on the NAS device
- deletes an existing DB on the StdBy with the same name as the one to restore by calling OSQL.EXE with an TSQL command (sp_detach_db)
- additionally deletes all files oh that DB (sp_detach should do that, but doesn´t ...?)
- again calls OSQL.EXE with another TSQL command, that is generated dynamically by the VB script and contains the path and name of the full backup with the NORECOVERY option.

So when this script has been executed automatically, we do have a restored Database from the recent backup with the state "loading ..."
(we´ve got it all in german, where it´s "Lädt...")

VB-script 2
This script will ONLY be used, when the main SQL server has crashed and the DB is lost. It:

- searches all TRN files on the NAS device, that have been stored AFTER the latest full backup and stores them to an array
- all of the found TRN-files within the array will be sorted by date and time to get into correct order
- it writes the sorted TRN-files to a <xxx>.sql file by adding TSQL code > "RESTORE LOG .... <trn-file> ... NORECOVERY"
- for the last LOG to restore it will of course end the line with a RECOVERY statement

That means, by running this 2nd VB script we get a TSQL script file, that we can load into our query analyzer on our standby server and execute all commands with a singe F5 hit.

The gerenation of the TSQL script takes less than 10 seconds in our environment. The execution of the RESTORE LOGS commands of course depend on their size, but usually this is a job of minutes ...

Conclusion
Since we do the full backup every morning automatically, we can get a fully restored Standby server within less than 5 minutes until this system will be up and running.

Comments
I´m a real beginner to SQL server, and may have made severe mistakes or choosen the wrong way - please let me know. If anyone ist interested in the VB scripts send me an e-mail, or let me know, where to upload them in this forum.

Integration Services :: Move Files Based On Filename?

May 12, 2015

I have a requirement to move files from HOLD folder to input folder. In HOLD folder I receive multiple files starting with af, ai, ar i.e. af*.txt , ai*.txt, ar*.txt . I need to move one file at a time to input folder as each file is to be loaded into database before next file is processed. In all the files the SSIS has to look at ai*.txt files first followed by af*.txt and lastly ar*.txt. If there are multiple files of same group the file with oldest date has to be moved first. How do I achieve this?

Scheduling An Automatic Backup

Jun 12, 2007

I have only started using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition recently.I also installed Management Studio Express version to manage the database. While testing the database I had came across some question and they are:


Can I upgrade from SQL Server 2005 Express to Workgroup/Standard/Enterprise without loosing the database and its contents.
While I backed up the database, I was permitted to backup only on to my local drive even though I have administrative rights on the system. It would be easy if I could backup to a network drive directly.My question is:Is it possible to backup directly to a network drive rather than backing the database to a local drive and then "copy and paste" it to a network drive.

Windows Scheduler: I have scheduled a daily backup of the database by midnight. I have also written the script to run the backup. But every time the scheduler starts the backup, it asks for the database password. This halts the backup until I come back in the morning and manually enter the password. My question is: is it possible to run an automatic database backup using Windows Scheduler?
I understand that there are 2 types of backups: full and differential backups. My question is: Is it possible to dynamically allocate different names automatically to consecutive backups so that the previous backups are not over written
Thanks for your patience and time.

regards,
Berly Sam

Transact SQL :: Backup / Restore Tools Which Can Restore Multiple Environments

Jun 25, 2015

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments.  Here is high level requirements.

1.  We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database.  When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2.  I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.

I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup.  I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible.  We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.

How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.

How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?

I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....

This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.

Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?

Oct 14, 2007

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).

Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.

Thanks!

Is There A MS SQL Backup Tool That Will Zip Or Compress The Backup Files?

Feb 27, 2007

Currently we use a SQL maintenance plan to do a full backup of all our databases daily (about 40 databases on our production server).  As you can imagine, this eats up disk space quickly so currently we manually zip the backup files and/or move them to an archive drive.  I considered writing an application to walk through the backup folder structure and zip any .bak file it finds, but I know there are some third party tools out there that will backup/restore a MS SQL database.
I was wondering if any of these also zip the backups once they are created.  Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome.
