Back Up From .bak File
Jun 25, 2007
I got a .bak file from my friend
I want to restore the data base (presently I don€™t have any database in my system).
But while I try to restore it
I am getting an error
€ś
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "D:Microsoft SQL Server 2005mydatabase.mdf" failed with the operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
€?
I have installed Microsoft sql server in a different directory
Not where he is installed
I can successfully restore the back up files of data base on my own system
But not the backup files created from others systems

Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick

Hello everyone,
I have a PC and I am using it as a "mini" server for Temp testing purpose. This PC is on the network. I am wondering if there is a DB file with specific name and extension I can save on our network drive or folder which is backed up automatically overnight daily.
Any suggestion/comments are highly appreciated!

Greetings,Our former SQL Server 2000 DBA backed up everything in a single diskfile. By everything I mean, full backup, differential backup andtransaction logs. See below for details of how the backup is currentlyset up. When I did 'view contents' of DBBackup, I saw it contained themixture of log, full and diff backups of verious dates. She has quit.Other coworkers said (in a not-sure tone) she was able to restore thedatabases from such a single file, although nobody ever saw or knew howshe did recovery. My knowledge about SQL Server, especially regardingits backup/restore is limited. But I've ever worked with otherdatabases, e.g. Oracle, MySQL and Postgres. I think log backups, fullbackups and differential backups should be completely separated. Also,in each type of backups, each database should have its own backup file.Please advise.=====Log backup:CREATE PROCEDURE sp_lbackup ASBackup log AGEP To DBBackupBackup log careerfairs To DBBackupBackup log CoEdocuments To DBBackupBackup log committee To DBBackupBackup log conference To DBBackupGOFull backup:CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_fullbackup ASBackup database AGEP To DBBackup WITH INITBackup database CoEdocuments To DBBackupBackup database careerfairs To DBBackupBackup database committee To DBBackupBackup database conference To DBBackupGODiff backup:CREATE PROCEDURE sp_diffbackup ASBackup database AGEP To DBBackup with differentialBackup database careerfairs To DBBackup with differentialBackup database CoEdocuments To DBBackup with differentialBackup database committee To DBBackup with differentialBackup database conference To DBBackup with differentialGO=====Thanks in advance for any help,Bing

I have been saving a trace file while entering orders into a new vendor application. I can replay the files just fine and everything works. My question is that I am trapping ten minutes worth of orders that are entered. However when profiler replays the trace it runs through in about a minute. I was trying to get a realistic a load approach as I can, and was wondering if there is a way to conrol how fat profiler runs the file trace. I put in 20 orders during this 10 minutes, in the real world no one could put the 20 orders into the system in a minute. Any ideas (and no,purchasing a real load testing program is not an option)

I am having a bit of a mare on the database backup front - i.e. monster
DB, not a great deal of space to back it up into.
As I do the backup, the file on the disk seems to stay at 2KB
How does the file get written? Is there a temp somewhere first?
Cheers in advance - Dave

Hello,
I have some C# (.NET 2.0) code that performs back-ups and also can perform restores of back-up files. I would like to validate the integrity of a file prior to initiating a restore operation. In other words, I want to know, before I try to restore, if the file is just a random file (picture, work doc, zipped backup, etc.) or if it is a valid SQL backup file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
hassiah

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 have a hierarchical table of some 2-3k of rows that grows slowly at only 3-5 rows a month, and is never likely to be above 5k, holding file/directory names with an IdParent int value pointing at that items immediate parent or NULL if root
Below is a sample:
Id Name IdParent
1 C: NULL
2 D: NULL
3 ProgramFiles 1
4 DataFiles 2
5 Excel.EXE 3
6 MyDataList.CSV 4
iterative code required to achieve the result I am looking for is best handled in the Application layer, but in this case the design brief is that we must get our results back as a View. Speed of execution and code clarity are secondary 'icing on the cake' issues.
I have tried recursive CTE's and XML FOR solutions but without success, and while I feel the latter is probably the best all rounder the searches I have made and the examples I have read do not seem to solve this particular issue.
Even to find the starting point of the search tree (i.e. the .EXE and the .CSV items) was difficult because the final slash is optional in some of the rows (.e. row 4)
The end result of my view on the above data should return:
Id FilePath
5 C:ProgramFilesExcel.EXE
6 D:DataFilesMyDataList.CSV (note the adding of the missing delimiter between DataFiles and MyDataList)

I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I have to at least ask.
I have a SQL Reporting Services project that has a QA server version and then a Production server version. So when requested changes are made to the reports, I make the changes in Visual Studio and then push to QA. After the changes have been tested and approved, I then push the changes to the Production server.
I have come across an issue, where requested changes were made in Visual Studio (a lot of changes), and pushed to QA. The users now have changed their minds and they want instead to stay with what is in production. So, I am looking for a way to recover the report file on the production web server, bring it back into my visual studio project to replace the report that I had changed.
Is this possible, or will I have to start over and step one and reverse the changes in Visual Studio.
Let me know.
Thank you,
T.J.

I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.

Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

Hi all,
We need to restore a back up of database from one machine to another machine. The sql server's are running separately on two of the machines.
We rebuilt the MASTER database on the machine which needs to be restored as there was a conflict in the LOCALE and SORT ORDER.
We rebuilt the Master using the RebuiltM.exe
After that we successfully restored the database. AS BOL suggessted that MSDB and Model had to be restored, thosee two were also done.
But we are not able to see all LOGINS / USERS that were there in the original database.
Are we missing anything that will show up all the users once we restore database from the dump.
Help.
