I have installed Beta 2 over SQL Express and when i wanted to install either Beta 2 or Express it dosn't allow e and i need to backup my databases urgently?
how can i do that?
is it possibe to do it with the phisyical files?
I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
How do we know the list of all the backups that are present in a particualr backup device like file# and time of backup taken etc for the purose of restore?
When I run :
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM BackupDeviceName
it doesn't give that info. Can anyone tell me the exact command to list all the files of a backup device so that I can restore the right one??
Thanks.
Shalini.
I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...
/* Script to delete older than N days backup from a specific directory */
USE [db_admin]
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('usp_DeleteBackup', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROC usp_DeleteBackup
GO
[Code] .....
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.
I scheduled automatic backup process but its only showing backup of the only one .sql file in the backup folder. Other created .sql files are not backed up. Why is it so?

Hello everybody,
I have a problem. I need to insert an unknown number of xml files in a database (all files are always in the same folder), in different tables, each file has the same name that the corresponding table. For example:
Files Tables
user.xml user
purchase.xml purchase
...and so
but the number of files is not always the same, I mean, it can be 6 one day and only 4 the next day.
Can I insert the data in the xml files into the tables with a Foreach Loop Container or any other way?? If it's possible, how?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Intially my backup was working fine since couple of days it started failing, when i checked the backup through maintainance plan i saw that it does'nt recognize the mapped drive it says invalid drive.
Basically i want to take backup of the on database A from Server A to Server B which i mapped. G:oppxyz00t142linktest.
Both Sql server and Agent use the system account => kavitha is the user account through which i login hence i think this is the system user name, i have been give full access to the mapped drive.
I appreciate your help.

In SSIS it is very easy to import any kind of file using the Import/Export Wizard but programming in SSIS package to do the same thing is almost impossible. It can even be done by using OPENROWSET in SQL management studio but then there are problems with Excel data types and etc..
I have done my research and so far I couldnt figure it out, I know poeple have done it but I am new to SSIS and I need clearer instructions. This is my situation..
I have created a package that checks an then creates a database and then creates a table based on the Excel/csv/sdf/dbf etc file. (The structure is captured in another database using a front end app). I am stuck at importing the file into the table that I just created. I cannot use the design time tools as the files coming in will be in different formats and structures. I have found different examples of desinging the package programatically but I dont know how to:
1. Convert C# to VB. Net (Actually Im looking for the example of the code in VB.net rather than converting it)
2. Add the code in my design (Most of the code that I have seen looks like they are creating the package from scratch).
I am following this but I keep getting stuck.. (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=749383&SiteID=1)
Any help will be appreciated..
I have used these key words for my research so far: copy data from excel to SQL, vb .net ssis custom column maping, cutsom transform, custom data flow , build column mapping programatically, script component custom source destination transform mapping
Hope answer to this thread will help many people (like me) who are in the learning process..
Hi,
Schedule backup job which usually completes in 1 to 2 minutes, it's been running for over three hours. Meanwhile transact log backup job executed and it's hanging also.
I stopped the jobs, which now shows last run status 'cancelled'. But the spid still exeists in 'current activity' pane with status 'runnable'.
No locks or blocks!
Is there anyway I can get rid of this spids so that I can start backup job again?
It's very urgent..
THanks
My database backup which was scheduled to run every day at 2A.M is still running, I issued kill command for the process at 10.45A.M , rollback process is still running for the last two hours. Can anyone help me out how to solve this problem.
Thankx

Can I backup a db which is on server1 by sitting at server2 by way of running a script on server2.
Thanks.
My overnight backups hang occasionally. I say this because there is no consistancy to when the routine will hang. It happens on the first step where it reindexes. The only user database on the server is about 12GB. The server is dedicated to SQL so nothing else runs on it. It has 2x 800 MHz processors with 2 G of ram of which 1.5 is allocated to SQL.
I can't trace the error because it happens before the report is written to. There are a few tables with a million plus records that take up almost a 1G per table.
It was my understanding that if users were in the database they would notice a big performance loss but that the backups would still run. Could it dying because of resource contention? I'm at a loss and really could use some input. I can't afford to go a whole weekend without a backup.
Is there a way for me to progammatically check who is the database prior to the job kicking off?
Any ideas as to what would cause an inconsistant hang of job is greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Kelsey

I have got a recent backup problem that just does not make sense. The system is able to perform hourly backups of my transaction logs fine but my daily backups of the entire database which occurs every night now fails. I tried recreating my daily backup job all over again from scratch and the job still fails.
When I perform a manual backup of the database however the system works fine.

Hi Everybody,
Our branch office in Europe has sent full 'backup' file of capacity 25GB.
I have to restore this backup to our database. Their database is 'Candidate'
and our database is 'client'. Both these databases have different logical
names and physical names.
The following Batch script only I hv executed,
RESTORE DATABASE Client
FROM DISK = 'd:dumppaw01dump.bak'
WITH MOVE 'candidatedata' TO 'e:mssqldataclient_data.mdf',
MOVE 'candidatelog' TO 'd:mssqllogclient_log.ldf',
REPLACE
Can anybody tell me, what I have executed above is correct or not. Now
restoration is going on for more than an hr. Still it is going on. Is there
any other way to restore this backup set very fastly.
Our server has got very good hardware setup. Good amount of hard disk space.
4GB RAM Memory. Running 4 processors. No other service is running apart from
SQL Server. Right now nobody is accessing the server.
How long it will take to restore this backupset?. This is urgent please.
Any help would be appreciated.
tks in advance,
Sri

hello! can you take a look at my question?
We use ARCServe to backup exchange server file (priv1.stm and priv1.edb) every night. When I select both of the files and start to back up using ARCServe. It showed me that Backup Operation Successful.
When I check the files, it didn’t backup both of the files. I don’t know why. Do you know how to backup these two files?
Many thanks.
Hi,We are about to install MSSQL Server 2000, on a Windows XP HomeMachine. However, we have servers we could set routine backups of filesto be done to. What what be the best way of doing this?Is there functionality in SQL Server 2000, where we can say dump alldata definitions, accounts, and data to files on this drive at regularintervals?What other suggestions do you have apart from obviously the usual RAID,and Tape Drive stuff?ThanksDavid
