Transaction Replication Failed After Restoring Full Back Up Of Database In NORECOVERY
Mar 4, 2011
We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.
Message #1
The replication agent has been successfully started. See the Replication Monitor for more information.
Message #2

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.

I cannot restore a backup file of the transaction log without getting the following message:
ODBC SQL State: 42000
The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step.
I have tried to do this in Enterprise manager and with the following script with the same results:
RESTORE Log TestDB
FROM DISK='D:MSSQL7BACKUPMMTrans'
WITH NORECOVERY
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can anyone help me with this issue? I restored a full backup with NORECOVERY because I need to restore the differentials as well but I have not been able to access the db. No matter what I seem to try i receive the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Does anyone know what I need to do?
Thank you in advance.

hi, I would like to know the correct reaction for a crash in both senarios.
First senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am , then scheduled sql server to make transaction log back up every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 12:30. How would I resotre the data in the first senario....Can I restore the full back up done at 6 am then restore the last transaction log backup ( which is 12 Noon ) . I am not sure If I need to resotre the whole tran from 6 am till the time it was crashed.
Second senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am, then scheduled sql server to make Incremental backup every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 3:00 pm. How would I resotre the data in the second senario. ....Do I restore the full backup at 6 am then restore each incremental backup backwords ( 2,12,10,8)
AS you can see, I am not sure how to deal with this issue, I do appreciate your feedback.
Best regards
Ahmed

After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Les

The log file for database 'db_sys' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
But I don't know how to back up the transaction log for the database.
Do I need TRUNCTE LOG (in E.M) to free up some log space?
I only know back up all the database using ALL TASKS -> BACKUP DATABASE in E.M. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I have a publication on Sql Server 2012 that uses transactional replication to 7 subscribers (these are a mix of Sql Server 2008R2 and Sql Server 2012). Last night I scheduled the Snapshot job to run to "re-publish" the database to the subscribers. I had a few new table to push down. Unfortunately the snapshot job became the deadlock victim. Now updates to the publisher are not being sent to the subscribers.
Short of rerunning the snapshot job, is there a way to repair the replication so the updates to the publisher are pushed to the subscribers? The "re-publish" can only be run overnight when there is very little impact to users.

I have a Development database and I want to roll it back to Monday morning. I backed up the database and used the command:
RESTORE DATABASE ITTEST
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = 'FEBRUARY 2, 2004 09:00 AM'
GO
The transaction logs have never been truncated.
But it does not seem to have worked. It this the best way to do a roll back the database or have I missed out something.
thanks.

I am needing to restore a SQL server 7 database. I had a backup, but the media it was on has failed. I have copies of the folder the original database was in (.mdf files and such), but I was wondering if there is a way to re-integrate these files in order to pick up where we left off. Thank you.

We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?

I'm a novice with replication and am in need of direction on how to restore replicated databases. Server A replicates 5 databases to server B using transactional replication. Server A also contains the distribution database. I'm perfoming PUSH replication.
The development area asked me to restore Server A with a copy of production data located on server C. After I restored the data from C to A, I noticed that server A was no longer published. Is this normal?
I re-published the 5 databases, but noticed that the Log Reader Agent has now been running for 2 hours. I'm trying to give myself a crash course in replication, but am coming up empty regarding (1) the prefered method for restoring replicated databases and (2) determining why the Log Reader Agent is taking so long.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave

Hi All,
im trying to set up database mirroring and in the initial phase of database restoring im getting some problem.
the scenario is .
1- i create a tempDB on server1(which will be principal server) and backup full and transaction logs.
2- create tempDB in server 2( going to be used as mirror) .
3- restore the full backup of "tempDB" from server1 with NORECOVERY option.
this step results in a message box showing that the restore was successfull...
but the database explorer( management studio) shows the tempDB in (restoring ...) state. and no more operations can be performed with this Database. ( because teh databse isin restoring mode).. please help what this issue is?
Thanks In Advance for any suggestions

SQL2005 SP2+Cum.Patch Rrevision 4 (9.0.3175)
I always get this message, when i want to run a stonger query or a transaction that takes a longer time:
"The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc column: LOG_BACKUP
I ran tr log backup...nothing...
I tried to set to simple reco mode the db...this helped... temporaly...i got again below message.
( i wouldn't like to set to simple mode the db because the size of db is 160GB now....so i don't want to eun a fullbackup)
TempDB size is 50MB now and it can grow until 7GB.
The trqansaction log size is 14GB and there are 50GB free space, so it can grow.
This symptom occurs since i installed SP2 and the CP Rev.4.0
What is the real problem ?

Hello all,
I just restored a SQL 7 db using the Enterprise Manager GUI interface. I
selected the "Leave database nonoperational, but able to restore additional transaction logs" option. I should not have selected this option as I do not have any transaction logs to apply.
Anyway, my question is... Is there a way to mark the database as opertational without running the restore again?
Thanks,
Corey

Good evening all,
I am new to Microsoft SQL and have been dumped right into the deep end with an anchor around my ankles.
The problem I am experiencing is about 6 months back a guy setup a Microsoft SQL server at my client. He then took his bags and left. Then a developer developed an application which uses a database on this sql server. Everything worked well for around 4 months.
Yesterday IBM Director notified me that I am running dangerously low on disk space on the server. By the time I came in to work this morning I had 12mb free disk space. The evil thing here is the transaction log for the downtime database. It has grown to over 60gb, all because the correct measures were not implemented to prevent this.
The problem that is occuring is no one can do anything on the database now due to the lack of free space. I have tried reading the sql books online but due to my lack of sql experience and knowledge I am stuck.
Can someone please help me? What I would like to do is pull my transaction log down to an acceptable size.
I was thinking of creating a new database and then importing all the data from the current database and then just deleting the current database however am slightly concerned that this may result in some data being lost.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me.
We've had a SQL login deleted (special application one) and I understand the best way I can get it back, is to restore the Master database. Is this true ? All the manuals are working on the fact that Master has become corrupt & that it should be rebuilt before restoring. Ours is not corrupt, so am I ok to skip rebuilding it first ?
Cheers

Hi Expets!!!!!!!!
I did full back up and restore it. I didn't face any problem while restoring it. After that, I did differential back up. And now trying to restore it. I saw name of all the files at the time of full back up. It were something like ABC.MDF, ABC1.NDF,ABC2.NDF,ABC3.NDF,ABC4.NDF,ABC5.NDF, ABC_log.LDF, ABC_log2.LDF. But now, when I am trying to restore differential back up, I am getting different names, such as, ABC.MDF, ABC2.NDF,ABC3.NDF,ABC4.NDF,ABC5.NDF, ABC6.NDF,ABC_log.LDF, ABC_log2.LDF.It means that, ABC1.NDF file is missing and this time I am getting ABC6.NDF as a extra file. But total number of files are same. How is it possible? I checked, in the original database, there names of the files math exactly with what I am getting in differential back up file. Now I am getting one error message while trying to do differential back up. Any idea what is going on and how to solve this problem? The error message is as follows:-

I am using transaction replication between a transaction and reporting database server. When I use a snapshot to initialize my subscribers, I currently get a lot of deadlocks during the snapshot creation. I am considering using a database backup instead. Can anyone tells me how to reduce the table locks that I am getting during snapshot creation or advice on using database backups?

New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

When restoring a database that contained a full text catalog to another server I noticed that the full text catalogs were not restored. However, the system tables still had the information on these catalogs. As such, I couldn't delete the catalogs (because they didn't exist).
In the end, I deleted the relevant lines from the system table sysfulltextcatalogs and sysobjects and then built a new set of catalogs. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I am restoring databases to a backup/standby server on a regular basis and was wondering if there are any official/documented methods of restoring full text catalogs to another server. (i.e. without having to mess around with the system tables). There doesn't seem to be much in BOL.
Any pointers or ideas on this would be welcome.
Regards,
Karl
