Full && Differential Restore
Aug 28, 2007Hi All,
I am trying to restore full backup in Sql Server 2005. I am using the following query to restore full backup.
"Restore database Testdb from Disk = 'C:Testdbfull.bak'
with move 'Testdb' to 'C:DBTestdb.mdf ',
move 'Testdb_log' to 'C:DBTestdb_log.ldf ', norecovery "
The above query is running successfully and database restored. But i am not able to access this database since in the database tab it is showing 'Testdb (Restoring)'
The next day I want to restore the differential database backup so i used the 'norecovery' statement.
please help why it is showing as '(Restoring)'
Thanks in advance,
Senthil
Restore A Point Between Two Full Backups
Oct 23, 2015I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past.
2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option.
3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?
Backup And Restore(full + Transaction Log)
Mar 10, 2008I have this database "DB1" which is in FULL recovery mode.
I run full daily backup -Monday to Saturday
DB1_Mon.bak
DB1_Tue.bak
DB1_Wed.bak
DB1_Thur.bak
DB1_Fri.bak
DB1_Sat.bak
Come Sunday - for the first time I have run transaction log backup.
DB1_Sun.trn
And now, I need to restore DB1 - but the only full backup that I have is the Monday - "DB1_Mon.bak"
Is my database complete if I restore only "DB1_Mon.bak" plus the "DB1_Sun.trn"?

Database Is Still Marked As Restoring After Full Restore
Dec 2, 2000After 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
Restore To Point In Time WITHOUT Full Backup?
Oct 27, 2007Greetings, All -
Is it possible to restore to a point in time without a preexisting full backup? The situation is this:
I have a table in the DB from which an unknown number of records were accidentally deleted. The table in questio has about 2 million records; the user ran a query to delete all records from the table by accident, and cancelled the query after about 3 seconds.
The DB recovery mode is full, so I should be able to do a point in time restore to go back to just before the deletion, but unfortunately, the DB has never been backed up, so I have no backup to work from.
The DB has not been used since the incident, and is otherwise operational, but I need to recover these records if at all possible. All the instructions I've seen for this involve restoring from a full backup first, then restoring the log backup second. Is there any way for me to accomplish the same task?

RESTORE DATABASE Without Full-text In SQL 2005
Nov 29, 2007Is it possible to do a full restore of a database without restoring the full-text catalogs? At the end of each month, we restore a copy of a database for quick access to month-end data with a different name. e.g. we restore the database DBN as DBN1107. Since upgrading to SQL 2005, the restore is failing because it it trying to restore the full-text catalog.

View 2 Replies View RelatedError Attempting Restore Of Full/differential Backup
Sep 13, 2006I 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
SQL Server 2008 :: Test Backup Restores (full And Log) - Restore Databases Automatically?
Apr 4, 2015I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.

Full-index Does Not Fully Populate When Doing Start Full Population
Nov 5, 2007I have sql server 2000. I copied a database from one server to another. I have one table that has a full-text index. When I transferred over the database, the index still existed, but was not populated. I made sure the path for the file is pointing to a new correct location. I did "start full population". It only populated one entry @ 1MB. On the old server the index is 100MB with more than 3 million records.
I tried rebuilding, re-creating, and it all works, but when I run "start full population", it only populates 1 record. I double checked the table in question and it has over 3 million records and proper primary key.
How do I resolve this.

Transact SQL :: Backup / Restore Tools Which Can Restore Multiple Environments
Jun 25, 2015I 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.

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

I expanded the SMS database but the data space still shown 0 mb. Restart and reboot did not helped. I used DBCC Checkdb but

msdb has 1.0MB of database space available and 1.97MB of log space.

TLog Full
Dec 15, 2000Hi,
My Transaction log has 0% Log Space available. I have performed a dump transaction with no_log but to no effect. I have also extended the log size from
100MB to 200MB and this has not made any inmpression either after several dump database statements also.
The Data Device was 500MB and I extended it to 800MB and again performed a backup. Has anyone any idea how to recover from this situation ?
I can make queries on the data fine but the several backups(and Truncate log) I have made are still not creating any space for my Transaction log.
Please help !
Thanks in advance,
Alan
