Backing Up Database

Feb 20, 2007

Sorry this is so trivial, but I don't work with SQL Server too much. I just want to back up a table in one of my databases. I'm using SQL Server 2005, the management studio. Can someone walk me through how to back up a table? Thanks!

Backing Up A Database In SQL 7.0

Mar 3, 2000

When backing up a database in MS SQL 7.0, there is a window that appears in the destination section of the backup window. In this window is where the filename appears that the backup will proceed to and to the right of this window are "add", "remove" and "contents" buttons.

If there are multiple names in this window, will the entire backup go to both files or does it split the backup between the two filenames.

Help Backing Up And Restoring Database

Feb 18, 2007

Hi,

I have been using the backup feature of SQL Express for some time and I thought it would be good to test a restore in case the worst happend. I moved my bak files to a usb memory stick and copied them to a machine and installed SQL Express so its empty no database's etc. So I right click the databae folder and choose restore from device and point to the db's but I get errors restoring them. What am I doing wrong? Is their any guides that give steps to backup and restore database's ? Any help would be great - I can of course provide more information need be.



Thanks,


Adam.

Backing Up A Database From MS SQL 2000 Server

Nov 1, 2004

My client is changing hosting providers. We are trying to download a full backup of our MS SQL 2000 database from the old host. We can get all of the data using the Data transfer wizard in Enterprise manager. We can get all data and structure using the Data Transfer wizard with other options. However, when we do this, all of our tables get renamed with a prefix that is our username from the old host.

So, if we have a table named customers and our MSSQL login on the old host is userA, then our table gets renamed to tableA.customers.

This won't work with our applications and stored procedures. Changing tens of thousands of lines of code is not acceptable.

Does anyone know a way we can get a full copy of the database (rules, data, structure, keys, identies, etc) without having the username prefix?

Thanks for the help!

Problems Backing Up SQL Express Database...

Nov 2, 2006

Hello,

I found some code below that works fine when I run it in my vb.net code in Design mode. When I publish the application, run the app and then execute the sub MyDbBackup() I get the following error:  Cannot open backup device 'C:dbBackup'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied). BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

 

Here is the code that runs:

 Public Sub MyDbBackup()
        Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(MyConnectionStringdb)
        sqlconn.Open()
        Dim Backupcommand As SqlClient.SqlCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("BACKUP DATABASE [" & sqlconn.Database.ToString & "] TO DISK = 'c:myDataBaseBackup.bak'")
        Backupcommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
        Backupcommand.Connection = sqlconn
        Backupcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        sqlconn.Close()
    End Sub


2 Questions: Why does it backup fine in design mode, but not after it is published? Also, in design mode, my database is called TAP_Master.mdf but when I look under C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData, I do not see that database name... all I see is master.mdf, model, msdbdata etc... Is that database stored anywhere else?

I have set the MyConnectionStringdb variable to = "Data Source =.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TAP_Master.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"

 

Thanks in advance.

Backing Up The SQL Server 2000 Database Using Tape Drives

Jun 9, 2006

Dear sir/madam,

I am from NTU, Singapore and we have a windows 2003 server edition installed on a DELL server and it also runs MS SQL server 2000 for a project of ours. We have installed a HP tape drive on the dell server and it works fine if ntbackup is used at the command prompt but then the SQL enterprise manager does not recognize the tape drive and backing up of our database is of high priority as it contains sensitive information. But the tape drive is installed properly as the device manager does not show any error and ntbackup also recognizes it. I cant seem to figure out why SQL server 2000 cannot recognize it. It would be very helpful if you could kindly guide me on this issue.

Thanking you

Regards

Considerations... Backing Up IIS 6 Web Files And SQL Server 2005 Express Database

Mar 1, 2006

Anyone know of a good "free" way to back up web files and SQL Server 2005 Express Database?
I was able to use Windows Server 2003 Backup utility to back up the folder where the Databases were stored, as well as the web files, with no errors.
But I have heard a lot of discussion that you can't just simply backup SQL Server data files?
I'm wondering how sound the backup I've created is...
Any suggestions?

Backing Up / Restoring 20 GB Database With Images Stored As Binary Code

Oct 29, 2015

I am trying to backup and restore a 20GB SQL database from a SQL Server 2012 to another SQL Server 2014, but I have come across the following issues:

1) The developers [against best practice] have stored multiple images in fields within the database as binary code.

This therefore exceeds the 65532 character limit in some fields, so even though the images do show [based upon the data saved within this field], I cannot find the data in the field beyond this 65532 limit, within SQL Server.

How can I export / locate this data after the 65532 character limit?

2) When I have attempted to restore the database I am getting this error message:

Restore of database 'zapkam' failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTa sks)

Additional information:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (1:1592996) in database "zapkam" as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

I have managed to restore two other smaller databases using the same technique, but am wondering if it's an issue with the database itself.

3) I have uploaded this database to the new server using FileZilla FTP Client, but it has cut out, painfully at 80% + 90% on a couple of occasions.

Is there a better solution for uploading these big files that I could possibly use? For example, uploading table by table or similar...

Problem Backing Up Database And Transaction Log Due To Disk Space Limitations

Jul 23, 2005

I am having a problem backing up my database and TLog files due to alack of local diskspace. The db file is about 30GB and the TLog isabout 20GB each on a different hard disk. Each disk doesn't haveenough available space to accomadate a backup. I also can't shrink thefiles because part of that procedure would require a backup.Question: Can I use a redirected drive for the backup media? Is therea way to trick SQL into allowing this? If the answer is no, doesanyone have a suggestion as to want I should do? I am in the processof requesting more disk space,but that could take a while.Thanks,

Backing Up Sql Server

Oct 4, 2007

Hey, please forgive me if my infomation source was incorrect. But a friend of mine mentioned to me he had hurd of a program, or code that will make an "install script" of your database. Basically it`ll back up all the tables on your server and if the worst case senario happens then you can run the file like an install script. Is this true? It sounds invalueable! If it isnt true, can someone tell me if it is possible to use code to create a "install script" of your own database? I am using "Microsoft SQL Server".Thanks in advance John

Backing Up Tables

Mar 10, 2004

I use SQL Server 2000 and I create scripts on a daily basis to do the following

1. Rename a table
2. Create table with original name and add new field
3. Copy data from renamed table to new table
4. Build indexes
-----------------------------------------
execute sp_rename ORIGINAL, OLD
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ORIGINAL] (
[A] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[B] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[C] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Notes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO

INSERT INTO ORIGINAL (A, B, NOTES)
SELECT A, B, NOTES
FROM OLD

CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ORIGINAL_A_B] ON [dbo].[ORIGINAL]([A], [B] DESC ) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
GO
-----------------------------------------

ON A TABLE WITH 100,000 RECORDS THIS KIND OF SCRIPT TAKES A LONG TIME TO DO THE INSERT/SELECT PART

I WOULD USE ALTER/ADD TO UPDATE THE TABLES, BUT MY SUPERIOR INSISTS THAT NOT HAVING TEXT FIELDS AS THE LAST FIELD IN THE TABLE WILL CAUSE QUERKY PROBLEMS WITH HIS SQL STATEMENTS
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS COULD BE TRUE?

IF SO,
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR DOING THIS SAME PROCESS TO ADD A NEW FIELD (C) BEFORE THE FINAL FIELD (NOTES - TEXT FIELD), AND BACKUP THE TABLE BUT WITHOUT IT TAKING SUCH A LONG TIME ON THE INSERT/SELECT PART?

Forgive me if I'm asking a lot, but I'm lost and these scripts take way too long for what seems like such a simple task.

Thanks,
Mitch

Backing Up SQL Server

Apr 19, 2007

Hi,
I've recently created a maintenance plan, which backs up my database and transaction log. However I also have a Veritas (Backup Exec for Windows Servers) tape backup which runs at night and backs up my files. It is setup to backup the whole of my MSSQL DATA and BACKUP folders.

Today I went to do a test restore, and found that the tape backup contained nothing in the MSSQL DATA folder, but everything that was in the BACKUP folder. Is this because everything in the DATA folder is in an open state? On checking back, the tape backup has never held anything in the DATA folder. Should I be worried by this, or is it what you would expect, and is the SQL backup sufficient?

Thanks for any advice

Colin
