The Backup Of The File Or Filegroup &"sysft_ftcat_d
Oct 26, 2007
hello,
my full backup job failed and it's giving me the below error message on the backup job for MSCRM database. If I start the job manually if I remove the full-text index on the table, the job ran succesfully.
The backup of the file or filegroup "sysft_ftcat_documentindex" is not permitted because it is not online. BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3007) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013)
I am looking at the file / filegroup level backup and recovery options within SQL Server and I'm struggling with the following concept.
Books online assures me that it is possible to perform a file restore whilst the database is in the simple recovery model.
So I have set up a database with two separate file groups, a read/write primary and a read only "secondary". Each filegroup has 2 underlying data files.
I have then created a "live" customers tables within the primary filegroup and assigned my existing "archive" customers tables within the secondary filegroup.
If I try to perform a file or filegroup level backup within management studio, those options are greyed out. I can only perform a database backup.
If I switch back to the full recovery model, the options are no longer greyed out.
So my question is this, is file level backup and recovery actually supported in the simple user model, do you have to perform this task outside of management studio, or (as is likely) am I missing something crucial?
I am trying to do a full back up of a user database which has full text indexing on it. I use the maintenance plan wizard to set up a full backup. For some reason, I get this error.
=================
Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [XXXX] TO [XXXX] WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'XXXX_backup_20060819040020', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "The backup of the file or filegroup "sysft_XXXX_FT" is not permitted because it is not online. BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Is it possible to back up one filegroup independently from the second when tables in one group have foreign key relationships with tables in the second group?
SQL 2000I have server1 with two filegroups.I want to backup FileGroup Primary on Server1 and Primary has aphysical file called MyData.mdf.I have server2 with the same database and two filegroups BUT thePhysical names are different. The Primary FileGroup is in physical fileOurData.mdfHow can I get server1->MyData.mdf to Server2->OurData.mdfThanks !
My intention is to make a copy of a database with some data excluded. One way to do this:
- Make a copy-only backup of the source database - Restore the backup as a new database - Delete undesired data from the new database
In my case, the source database has two file groups, primary and secondary. The secondary has just one table with huge amount of data and this file group appears as one physical file. Is there any way to make a partial backup, which does not include this file group or table, and it would still be possible to restore the backup to a new database? My point is to avoid copying huge amount of data if it won't be needed.
Our current application which is deployed to numerous client sites usually requires the database to be returned to us to upgrade for the next release. The current process is:
- Perform a full backup at the client site - Send the backup to us for upgrade - Perform a full restore process to our local db server - Modify the database - Perform a full backup - Send the backup to the client - Perform a full restore over the original database.
This has served our purposes so far, however, we are about to introduce functionality that will enable the client to upload files for storing in the database.
To manage this we have a single DBFiles table which due to the potential size of it’s contents we determined that it would be best to store it in it’s own FileGroup. The idea being that then we could backup just the Primary FileGroup for returning to our offices as the DBFiles table would remain untouched.
The proposed process would now be:
- Perform a partial backup of the primary filegroup at the client site - Perform a partial backup of the DBFiles filegroup at the client site. This only ever stays at the client site and is never restored at our office. - Send the primary filegroup backup to our office for upgrade - Perform a partial restore or the primary filegroup to our local db server. This will leave the DBFiles filegroup offline which is OK as we do not need to change it. - Modify the database - Perform a partial backup of the primary filegroup - Send the partial backup to the client - Perform a partial restore of the primary filegroup over the original database. This will leave the DBFiles filegroup offline. - Perform a partial restore of the DBFiles filegroup over the original database.
This last step results in the recovery failing due to a reason like “The roll forward start point is now at log sequence number (LSN) 66787000000001800001. Additional roll forward past LSN 66787000000008900001 is required to complete the restore sequence�.
I have tried a number of variations including backing up both the client and local log files for recovery and using copy_only but I have yet to be able to successfully complete the process. Is there a means we can synchronize these 2 backup files without worrying about the logs for this part of the process?
Our requirements are basically to be able to perform a partial backup and exclude the DBFiles table as it is likely to be very large so we can send it back to our offices for upgrade and then return it to the client for restoring back to the original database while maintaining the data in the clients DBFiles filegroup and table.
Any guidance on what we need to change or a better process would be appreciated.
I am new to DBA activities. I have a database name Sample_DB in SQL Server 2014. Â
This database has below files
LogicalName FileType FileGroup Sample_DB_Rows  ROWS Data PRIMARY Sample_DB_C1 ROWS Data Country1 Sample_DB_C2 ROWS Data Country2 Sample_DB_Docs FILESTREAM Data FileGroupForDoc
My database has 3 tables namely Tbl1, Tbl2 and Tbl3.
Tbl1 data stored in primary file group Tbl2 is partitioned based on a key column CountryId and stored in respective filegroup Tbl3 is enabled to store documents, files etc., and its data will be stored in filestream enabled filegroup.
Problem: I need to take backup of each file group separately. I need to restore the backed up file group separately. Is this possible, how to do it.
I have backup my database with "file and filegroup"selected. I have dropped my database by accident. is it possible to restore my data back from "file and filegroup".bak??
I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, i want to split my data and indexes on different drives.
In 2000 i had to recreate clustered indexes and non clustered indexes on the correct filegroups to accomplish this.
In 2005 i see there is a ALTER TABLE MOVE TO Filegroup option, thats cool.
Does this effectively do the same as rebuilding the clustered index on the new filegroup? Will this leave the other indexes of the table on the primay filegroup or move them as well ?
If i wanted to also move the non clustered indexes is there a better way to move them that drop and re-create on the new filegroup in 2005, i see the ALTER INDEX statement does not support a move to filegroup option.
In a nutshell what is the best/easiest way to move exisitng table data and indexes to new file groups in Sql Server 2005 Enterprise Edition?
Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:
Backup failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the satement after the current backup or file manipulation is completed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
I got full backup on daily schedule its taking more space on Drive because each file has more than 25GB.I am using SLQ server 2008R2 so I'm looking to take the backup with compression instead of uncompressed Backup. What are the impacts of compressed backup. Is there any problems with compressed backup while restoring the 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.
My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC 2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original 3) Took the new database offline 4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database 5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deleted 6) put the database back on-line 7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)" 8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command   BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak' WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.
I checked quickly one network  and I ran into the folders; I found out the folder MSSQL backup, nothing strange so far. Within that folder, anyway, I found out several backup and one very huge file (datawarehouse) with extension FILE. I am wondering what can be? I got datawarehouse mdf of course and datawarehouse log but what is that huge file (1 TB)?
Hi there, After a bad server crash, the only remnant we have of our SQL server database are the .mdf and .ldf files in the MSSQL7/Data folder. Can we restore this database from either of these files and if so, what is the procedure? Sorry but I'm an SQL server newbie.
I dropped a SPROC, and was in the process of reacreating it when I lost power. Now I don't have the SPROC except for in an old backup file.
Is there anyway to get this without restoring the DB ? If not, can I easily restore to a different DB name and then delete it? My backups are on my live server and I don't want to overwrite my current DB with my backup :)
I rigth click my project , i choose add -> new item -> sql database and i write
SqlConnection cc = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DataData.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
when i code
cmd.CommandText = "Backup database Data to disk = 'C:\123.bak'";
i recieve Error Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Data'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
My database's log file is full. i want to backup it . First i create a backup device named aa. Than i use Enterprise to backup trasaction log. But it popup an error messagebox. The title is "Microsoft SQL-DMO(ODBC SQL state:42000) The content is "write on 'aa' failed,status=112. See the SQL error log for more details.Backup or Restore operation terminating abnormally. What's the matter ?
I am using SQL Server 7 and have about 5 databases. One of them has a data file of about 10 Meg, and most of the others are larger. I do a nightly backup to both a local and mapped drive. On both, the size of the backup file for this database is more than 500 Meg, but the rest appear to be an appropriate size. Does anyone know why this would be happening? The database works fine, it does not get a lot of insert/delete activity and I run DBCC every weekend. If anyone has any ideas I would sure like to hear from them.
Hi, I am new to SqlServer (I am using 7.0) and I have just recieved a database.bak file from one of our clients and I want to create a new D/B from this back up file ,I have already installed the MS SqlServer. Can you tell me how to do this.
Anyone have anything hints on getting the option of DELBKUP to work. I have a maintenance job that backs up the database. Also set to delete backups older than 1 day. This doesn't seem to be working.
Is the name of the most recent backup file for each database stored anywhere in SQL2K? I want execute a SQA job periodically that takes the BAK from database A and restores it over database B (using the T-SQL RESTORE DATABASE procedure), but I need to know the exact name of the .BAK file; i.e. I need to know the yyyymmddhhmm value at the end of that file.
Is the name of the last backup file recorded anywhere in SQL2K? I do backups every 2 hours, and want to restore backups from database A to database B once a day using the latest backup. Unfortunately the backup files don't have the time the backup started (e.g. 1600), but have the time they ended (I presume); e.g. 1604.
I want to automate the process; any suggestions on how to find the name of the last database file?
Hi, I have a database which size is 64Go, and i backup it everyday with 1 day of retention. But the maintenance plan don't delete the file older than 1 day. This works fine for the other db. Do you know what is the pb ? regards.
I tried to use backup and restore database tasks to restore backup file but it does not work. The backup file I tried to restore in SQL server 2000 is from somewhere else (from my friend) and saved in cd-rom, not the one I created before. How can I restore it to view in SQL server 2000 database? Can you show me step by step? Thanks for your help
