can anyone explain me how can i make a DB backup in sql express 2005 ?
The sql express instance and my web aplication are running on the same server.
I need a script for directly execute it (and if possible also to restore the DB ) from my web aplication.
other question:
any idea how can i tell to sql express to do the backup automatically every day?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I am looking to be able to backup our database automatically on a daily basis. It is for a SQL Server 2005 Express Database. Does the Express edition have automated backups or does it have to be carried out manually?
I'm not sure of which steps to take.
Could someone please advise
Thanks

From everything I'm reading, I shouldn't be getting this error in 2005: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3205)
I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 (Express) on same dev box, have loaded SP 4 for 2000, I'm trying to restore this in 2005.
Why am I still getting this error?
Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks.

Hi i have an web app demo that allows users to add info and change attributes within a SQL 2005 Express DB. I'd like to restore a clean copy of this database every couple of hours from a .bak file using a Windows scheduled task on the server. Has anyone got a .sql script for database restoration that i could use and call using a .cmd script file? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my MS SQL Server 2000 (SP2). My task is to restore a backup from a database on another computer.
The server makes a backup everyday. If this server gets a hardware problem there must be a chance to replace it by another server which is made by the backup files.
In this scenario I don't have the possibility to copy the whole folder of the old server.
Is it possible to restore the bakup so that the new server looks like the old one?
Thanks for every response.
Hello,
Can anyone tell me the SQL statement to restore an existing backup to an existing database?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to restore a database backed up using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to a server using MSDE. I get an error 3205 "Too many backup devices specified...64 max..."
I'm only specifying one file for the restore.
Ideas?
Our DBs are set up to do a full backup once a day (late at night) and then transaction log backups during the day at shorter intervals.
I want to setup a dev database on the same server. I want this database to be an automatically restored copy of the live database. So every night, after the full backup of the live DB, I want to restore the live DB to this dev DB.
Can this be automated? Can the restore automatically stop the dev database in case some open connections exist?
Is there a better way to do this?
I 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?
So I'm testing some things in our new servers and was trying to restore a database from some striped backup sets. We have 4 files for our backups and restoring the FULL backups with no recovery worked beautifully via SSMS. But when I tried to restore the differentials (also striped across 4 files), the GUI gave me this error:
Unable to create restore plan due to break in the LSN chain.
How to locate when the break happened and I came across this article about how this is an SSMS 2012 bug.
So I tried the advice in this article to attempt a restore via Files and Filegroups, and ended up with the below error:
EDIT: Picture is attached if it is not showing in post.
I was able to restore via T-SQL, but I want to also be able to restore through the GUI.

how to restore database backups with different recovery fork. I have 1-full backup 2-diff backups and 10-tran backups. My prod database in mirror, so after error, switched to mirror with "allow_data_loss" option. And now I have full and diff backup with one recovery fork GUID and other backups with another GUID.So the question is, how to restore all this backups if in middle of restoration will be different recovery fork.Tryed to restore log backups with new fork guid and got error:This backup set cannot be applied because it is on a recovery path that is inconsistent with the database. The recovery path is the sequence of data and log backups that have brought the database to a particular recovery point. Find a compatible backup to restore, or restore the rest of the database to match a recovery point within this backup set, which will restore the database to a different point in time.

It seems that very recently, the backups made during a nightly ArcServe tape backup procedure are showing up in the restore window on our SQL server. We don't want that! The application group makes it's own backup's to disk, and we want to see only them in the restore window.
(The tape ackup is a redudnant process, to be used if one of our on-hand disk backups are bad or non-existent, or if the DB needs to be recovered from an older date.)
What made the ArcServe files show up? How can we stop SQL server from thinking tyhat they are part of the backup set we are conccerned with?
Thanks.

We had our backups backing up to the server where the databases reside. Now I modified the backups to backup to a file share. Now when we try to restore from the file share the restore fails, so we have to copy the backup to a drive on the server and recover for there. Should I be able to restore directly from the file share (using the gui)? Do I need to change something else to modify the default backup drive?

I'm trying to test out a restore scenario for a large database. It contains several files, each one is backed up when we are finished inserting data into it. No changes are made to the data after insert. All changes happen in tables in the primary file group.
So, I backup the primary file, the log, the first "partitioned" file, the log, the next "partitioned" file, the log, etc, etc, etc. Now, I delete one of the tables residing on one of the partitioned files and want to restore it. For arguments sake, let's say I have a primary file, and 5 partitioned files. I delete the table which was on file 3.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the steps to restore under these circumstances. I thought I understood it but, apparently not. When I try to restore, I'm told I must first backup the tail of the log. Having done that, I restore file 3, and all subsequent log files. Now, I'm right back where I was (missing the deleted table). When I try to roll back to a point in time before the delete...it claims to be successful but, nothing perceptable is different...??
Can someone help set me straight here?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
If I understand correctly I cannot do table & databse backups and restores or exports & imports as with Enterprise Manager in SQL 2000 because I have the lowest level version of the Studio Express Manager. Is that right?
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to regain that funtionality? It will be used for managing local (on my pc) and remote databases.
If it involves downloading and installing a different Studio version:
1. which one would that be?
2. is there a cost?
3. do I need to UNINSTALL my current version?
4. if so, how do I preserve my existing local databases (since there's no backup capability)
Many thanks in advance for any advice out there!

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,
Ieyasu
The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
