Upgrade To SQL2K5 Using Backup/Restore
Jun 7, 2007
Hello All:
From my previous post it seems that the general consensus is for me to use backup and Restore to upgrade a dB from SQL2K to SQL2K5.
Could anyone refer me to some explicit instructions for doing this?
I have SQL2K5 and SQL2K on separate servers and I cannot back the dB up to SQL2K5. I also can't access the drives for SQL2K from SQL2K5. I'm hoping it's a simple mistake.
Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cleech

I want to copy a SQL2005 database to a SQL2000 environment? I created a backup from the DB in SQL2005 and moved the file to the other server but SQL2000 says the BAK file is invalid since the backup has structure version 611 while the server supports version 539. Any solution?

hello we want to evaluate TS foundation server but it says it won't support developer edition sql, only sql2k5 stanard. But now we have DEVELOPER version on our development sql server, DEVDATA1, i.e. instances DEVDATA1DEV, and DEVDATA1QA are both installed on the same sql server box with both SP1 applied.
How can we update DEVDATA1QA to Standard version while still have SP1 applied? we just install Standard CD and then apply SP1 again?
Because this instance is our QA version, before we do something silly, if any of you did that before, any advice would be really helpful.
thanks in advance.

In SQL2K EM you can right click a DB, and backup. Finally there is a option to schedule, which will create a job.
Is this option has been removed from SQL2K5?

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.

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.
Thanks in advance for any help.

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!

I used backup and restore to upgrade to sql 2005 from 2000. It went well but I didn't get the permissions change in time for the users to access the database today. The users were accessing the old server. I need to do another backup off the old server to the new server. Do I do a full backup to get the information for today's data or what? Will it restore a full backup override?

Hi all
We have a huge terabyte database that we are planning to upgrade to 2005. We are working on realistic backup solutions in case we have to rollback the upgrade. We have over 400 tables out of which about 100 are kind of static. The other 300 tables have very high transaction rate - thousands of batch transactions per sec. Earlier, prior to 2005 SP2 release we tried setting up replication to a 2000 box and replication agents failed to catch up with the transactions. Not sure of SP2 has any improvements. We are thinking of setting up replication for only the 300 or so tables and we will take a regular nightly back up and can use a day's old data for the 100 small tables.
What are your experiences/suggestions on a proper back up solution to have a 2000 server in almost stand by mode that we can switch back to in case of any issues?
Thanks,
don.

I had a number of jobs which were backing up system and user databases under SQL 7 using SQL ServerAgent. Over the weekend I upgraded SQL 7 to SQL 2K.
All backups work except for one, which gets the following error message: Executed as user: SANDIEGOSvcSQLServer. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
As best as I know SQLSTATE 42000 is an ODBC message indicating a syntax violation or an access violation. I have recreated the maintenance plan in an attempt to rule out a syntax violation. During the upgrade process I did not change the account under which SQL Server Agent runs, so it seems like it should not be an access violation.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!!
Thanks Gary Andrews Andrews_gary_w@solarturbines.com

We backup the database using the following method
1. launch the DacIESvcCli.exe at specified time, which in-turn calls the service (southeast asia).
2. the bacpac is created and uploaded to the specified storage
However, after upgrading the Server to V12, it failed to create bacpac file in the storage, there are no errors/no logs/no information.

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"
Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'NetworkDevice', 'cabaanpubs.bak'
then
BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO NetworkDevice
it gives me an error saying
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I don't really understand what's goin.
basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.
Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.
Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.

Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.

WE are using sqlserver 7.0 & backing full database using Seagate backup ver 7.2 on a tape drive.
I have following questions if anybody could help
1]How do I restore a single table backup from the tape backup without restoring the full database first on the disk & then running import/export
utility to transfer/ copy that particular table to production database.
Is there any third party backup utility which allows for a single / selected table restore?
2]What are the steps or if anybody has the script for tansfering logins/users
with permisssions & without deencrypting the passwords when transfering from one server to another server.

Please help me out.
