While ago my SBS 2003 which had SQL 2000 crashed so I had to rebuild everything and this time I used SBS 2003 R2. My SQL 2000 databases were backed up under Veritas 10 and now I'm trying to restore them under SQL 2005. Is this possible?
Please advice.

We are running SQL 2000 sp4, only one user database (SAP) the database is 63 GB.
The ldf files were trashed so I went to tape to restore.
We are using veritas backup exec 9.1 sp4. Veritas is on the same server. I can restore the master db and the msdb fine. However when we attempt to restore the DEV db it runs for 2 hours and then fails with a communication error from veritas.
When we restore the master the DEV db comes up suspect as there are no files for it to attach to) so we cannot attach to it to restore, so I have deleted it and attempted to restore - same communication error. I have recreated a db named DEV with the mdf etc created to the size needed plus some to be sure, no good same behavior (behavior described below).
The job starts and it creates all the folders for the database (there are 1 MDF, 5 NDF, and 4 LDF files each in its own folder). Then it begins to create teh individual files it gets ~half way through at about an hour-hour and fifteen. During this time there are a large number of writes being performed by SQL (I assume it is creating the structures). Then it switches over to reading from tape a large number of read by beengine for another 45-1.5 hours then the job fails with the error unable to communicate with the device. I ahve noticed that once it starts reading from tape the db is gone from enterprise manager, and the mdf etc. files that were being created are now gone.
Help this has gone on for three days!!!

Hi,I have an old 2000 bak file for a db that I would now like restoredonto sql server 2005. I keep erroring out though, this is what I'mdoing:Went to Restore Database in sql 2005, selected the db I want itrestored to, and File (say c: empxyz.bak)Checked the restore checkbox, went to options checked Overwrite theexisting database.Do I need to do anything else, maybe in the Restore the database filesas section? As those path are listed as:C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz.mdfC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataxyz_log.ldfIf I just run it without updating those mdf and ldf paths, I keepgetting an error:Exclusive Access could not be obtained because the database is in use.Thanks.

Why? and how to restore SQL 2005 DB to SQL 2000?
My customer has SQL Server 2005. I have SQL Server 2000 on my laptop (on XP Pro). I believe I have an empty database the same as theirs, but I need to restore their data. They sent me a normal SQL Backup, but my laptop threw a fit and cannot work with it.
They are now trying to export the database to Microsoft Access and send me that, but I won't get that until next week now. However is there a better and easier solution for those of us with insufficient experience of this, please?
Many thanks,
Caspar

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?
Thank you.

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. The problem is that on the server they are using sql server 2005. If I backup using 2005 and then try and restore this database using SQL server 2000 or 2005 on the laptop, I get an error message. "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'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?
Thanks,
Peter

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.
Is there a solution?
TIA

Hello,
We use Veritas BE with SQL agent to backup all the company's databases. Has anyone used Veritas for SQL backups and restores, adn what are the pros/cons verses some scripting.
I've been in a few recovery situations with veritas although limited it's easy for a network analyst to restore, but I prefer scripts to restore. Our SQL shop is young and still in alot of it's development phase. I'd like to break the trend we have now and write some decent batch/sql scipts for backups?
Right now veritas backs up all our NT boxes, hence why we use it for SQL. I have scripts, but haven't implimented. Should we switch to scripts or stay with Veritas?
thanks,
AJ

Has anyone had any problems with the Veritas Netbackup for Microsoft SQL Server?
Suggestions?
Thanks,

Can anyone help. This is the only failure that is occuring in the backup.
Can anyone shed any light
Thanks
An error occurred on a query to filegroup master..PRIMARY.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
SQL Server returned the following error message:
You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Unable to open the item master?PRIMARY - skipped.
I have Veritas Backup Exec. The software does a good job with the backup. However a few of my SQL 7 Databases the files are skipped even though I have told the software to lock the file. Specificaly this happens on my EPICOR Accounting Databases. Is there a command I can issue to stop the SQL server from running prior to the backup and then re-start after the backup has completed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHI All,
Bit confuse and please help to setup correct way of backup.
I got SQL Server 2000 and Veritas Backupexec 10.0
So what is your recommended way to backup SQL Servers.
1. Veritas Backup agent with Differtial (Mon-Thu) and full backup on Friday?
Set SQL recovery Model to FULL and only backup Transaction (.TRN) logs to server disk , No backup (.bak) from MP ?
or
2. Create SQL MP and backup to SQL Server DB & Logs to disk every night- full backup
Keep only 1 day worth of backup. ( not enough space)
Use veritas to backup .bak file only not using that veritas SQL Backup?
Or knowledge me with the proper method?
Could someone please explain the pros/cons of installing the VeritasSQL agent versus backing up the .bak file generated by SQL Server? Ihave worked with both setups in the past, but never really understoodwhat made one better than another.TIA,Brad
