I also tried copy my database's data file and log file and paste it under SQL server 2005 express edition Data folder and still not able to read the tables.Is that any ways to do restoring for this SQL server 2000 backup file into SQL server 2005 express edition! Anybody can help me on this please...:eek:
This is a very urgent requirement of my client having 200 stores and one Head office. the HO has just installed SQL-Server 2005, The HO sends small backups of the data related to stock transfer which needs to be restored at stores. It was working find when both the HO and stores were SQL-Server 2000. but the process has come to a dead halt as the HO has SQL-Server 2005. It is not possible to convert the stores immediately. please help me out.
I was running Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 2000. I put backups of all my SQL Server 2000 databases on hard disk d: and the operating system and applications on c:/. I then reformatted c:/ (but left d:/ intact) and installed Windows XP Home. Then I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition.
I would like to now restore the backups of the SQL Server 2000 databases (still intact on drive d:/) to SQL Server 2005, but I get a variety of error messages.
I suspect that I am going about this the wrong way. I have done several hours of research in the documentation without success. I cannot attach the SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 because it is a backup, not a database. I cannot migrate the databases as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 because (a) they are back-ups, and (b) I don't have SQL Server 2000 installed when I install SQL Server 2005.
A full database backup file was created and placed in my C:Program filesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup folder. In attempting to restore the file using "Restore Database", I get the following error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "d:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataworkspace.mdf" failed with the operating system error 3 (The system could not find the file path specified.).

I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag. "Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Of course I'll try this before I go live, but I figured I'd askhere first. I've read the docs, and the answer is unclear.My current backup strategy is:Take a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Back up logs every five minutes.This works, but restoring the database all the way through cantake a while, as I've sometimes spun through 800+ log restores.I'd like to change toTake a full database backup occasionally (like, every two weeks).Take a differential backup every day.Back up logs every five minutes.So, I'd have this set of backups after day twoFULLLOGS 1-100DIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200When I go to restore, do I always have to doFULLDIFFERENTIALLOGS 101-200or can I doFULLLOGS 1-100LOGS 101-200?I guess what I'm really asking is: is there any reason to keepthe "old" logs around (in this case 1-100), if I assume I alwayshave the latest differential?I suppose I *might* need them to do a "point in time" restore,i.e.FULLLOGS 1-53.but assuming I never want to do that, can I discard the logsthat are earlier than my latest differential?
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile. I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by, 1. Create the database with the same name. 2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so, I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated. If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
I need to restore a backup file which resites on a network share to my local Sql70 server. Is it possible to restore a database from a backup file on the network share? Thanks!
We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server. We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Hi everybody, On executing the RESTORE command of SQL Server to restore from a backup of 78.3 MB, the "Server Application Unavailable" error message comes up.The error message in the Application log is as follows:aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 2184) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded the 152 MB (60 percent of available RAM). However using Query Analyser of SQL Server I am able to restore the database. What is the solution to this problem?
1.) Taking a database out of an availability group, 2.) Setting the recovery to simple, 3.) Shrinking the log file, 4.) Setting the recovery mode back to full, 5.) Then backing it up.
I need to restore the file to my secondary server with replace and non recovery mode. I am having trouble performing that call? I have the code to reestablish the database to the availability group if I can get the restore feature working.
Hi All I have a problem in transferring a 2005 backed up database to SQL Server 2000 SP3. i got an error message, crux of it is "too many backup devices specified only 64 allowed"
the i browsed MICROSOFT help, downloaded SQL 2000 SP4 - mentioned as a fix for the above error.
Now get a message,crux of it is "current version of Database in 611 and destination version is 536"
Is there a solution???? should i download any other patches or Should i tweak the SQL 2005 backup process??? ASAP Plz
Does anyone know if this works to where the data is viewable/usable?
I have an application that takes datasets out of the SQL database. We decommisioned our old SQL 2000 SP4 machine and brought in a SQL 2005 Server. What we did was backed up the old database and then restored it on the new Server.
Now the application does not see the old datasets but will collect new ones that are viewable. We can import older datasets but we have nearly 27 GB of data, which our DBA can see the old tables in Enterprise Manager but our applciation can't see it.
I'm thinking it might be a schema issue or the way that 2005 translate the odler 2000 SP4 database. Does anyone know, or have they run a back up on a older 2000 Server and then restored it to a 2005?
i've made a backup from a MS SQL Server 2005 database and i tried to restore this database to a MS SQL Server 2000. Unfortunately, I got following error
The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrad this database.
what can i do ? is it possible to restore the MS SQL Server 2005 DB on a MS SQL Server 2000 ?
Morning guys, What is the equivalent to the taskpad on sql server 2005? I want to be able to see when the last backup and restore was performed via transact sql ...... how would you go about that..... ? what would I search... ?
SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup
Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:
Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198 String or binary data would be truncated.
This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like
select * from #art_commands
The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.
What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:
1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.
2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.
3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.
4. anymore for anymore?
It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?
Hi, Our Sharepoint of TFS was down a couple of days ago. By luck, we had fully backed up SQL database. Now, the problem is, I uninstalled everything and tried to move TFS to a new server machine on the domain. I installed freshly everything and tried to restore all the databases (with tables also). Now the problems are these:
1 - Since there are lots of different backup-restore procedures telling on the Internet from some forums and this forum also: What should i do basically to make the configuration of Sharepoint and Reporting Services to make them work correctly?
2 - Secondly, even if i fail in the problem above, I, at least, want to save the source control files and sharepoint files. Where can I find them and how can I take them back to my new TFS installation?
3 - If these problems exist and Suppose on a new project on the new installation, i create new WI's, documents (with new Version Control information), and new SPS configuration. And on a new release,the problems are resolved. Is there some way that I can merge the former Backup with the new installation's database?
Hi All I have Computer is setuped SQL Server 2000 and SQL server 2005 when I restore SQL Server 2005 it's OK but when it's not OK when I restore in SQL Server 2000. The Error as follows:

I'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log. 2. The attached database has a last backup date 3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
I would like to know if it's possible to restore a x64 Backup on a SQL Server 2005 32-bits. I have found no options during the backup under SQL Server 2005 x64 to allow the compatibility for x86.
Thanks you in advanced for future answers. Regards, Flore.
I have a database backup from Server Express 2005 that I want to restore to SQL Server 2000. I keep getting an error message saying it was created a newer version and wont work. Is there a workaround to this.
I am maintaining a .net 1.0 asp.net web application that accesses a SQL server 2000 database. I need to backup the database and then restore it on a laptop. Currently it resides on a server.

"Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. What can I do to restore the database? Must it be backed up with SQL server 2000 and then restored with SQL Server 2005? Please help!
I would like to create a backup file in SQP-Server Express and restor this backup-file in SQL-Server 2000. I am looking for the command that produces the .bak-file.
How I can run a SQL Server Transaction Log Backup using a Windows CMD File. It's that posible? Anyone know the command or how do this?
We already have a application monitoring our SQL databases. Everytime the transaction log get full, it sends us an alert. Would be better if our application repair the problem itself, executing a command (Windows CMD File).
I'm not a expert using SQL databases or MS DOS Prompt commands.

I'm working on a restore procedure for the case where all MDF filesare missing, but the LDF files are all intact. A full backup is doneevery 24 hours, and a log backup is done every 3 hours. Afterrestoring the last full + log backups, is it at all possible to usethe LDF files to recover data from that point up to a newer point intime?I've found a post which explains how to do this on SQL Server 2000<http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ms-sqlserver/browse_thread/thread/3ef5c7cbc0a83334/f3b0c70811d35ed7>, but step 4fails with the following error message:BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current databasebackup.
I want to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005. Would I need to do anything after running the restore to upgrade the database?
