Hi,
I am creating a job that runs this command:
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'copy f:dados_sqlmssqlackup
ecom_tb_basico.bak \stalingrado_2c$ emp',
The result of this job is:
"Access is denied.
0 file(s) copied.
NULL"
But I am running this command with sa user.....
Wich kind of permission is missing to execute this copy?
When I execute the same command to copy the backup from the server to itself, it works fine!!!!
Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?????
Hello,
i would like to copy the SQL Server Express database .mdf and .ldf files for backup. Is this ok?
Autoclose = true and recovery model = simple.
Must i detach the database before copy the 2 files or can i copy the 2 files without detach at any time? When connections are open (also remote connections).
Can i copy at any time even when transactions are active?
I would like to write a copy programm which copies the 2 files every 30 minuutes. Only 30 minutes of work could be lost.
This would be enough for me and i don't have to care for the the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff. In the past i used BACKUP and when i needed this BACKUP it did not run. Returns some error message..
Is copy ok? When is it possible? At any time or must all transactions be comitted? Must all connections (remotes too) be closed? Must the database be detached?
Is this enough to have a valid backup? Backup would be an attach of the .mdf file.
Or must i use the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff? Why?
If so, for what reason is the AUTO CLOSE property there?

Markus
I need to copy a just-created bak file to another drive after the backup task has completed. I don't see anything in the job toolbox which works with file system operations like this. But still it must be a common need..There are ways to script this or use third part tools but I am looking for something native to the sql server 2012 SSMS toolset, if possible.
An alternate approach would be to run the backup job again, after the main backup, and change the destination to the alternate location. But I was thinking that another backup job would probably invoke more overhead on the server than a simple file copy operation. If I do end up taking this approach I could also use the cleanup task to toss older bak files in the alt dir.
Howdy, hope someone can help me out with this.I want to run a job each night that copies files from one server to another.I cant even get a simple copy one file from one directory to another,statement to work.When I try :@cmd 'copy c: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt'master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmdI get the msg: 'c' is not recognised as an internal command, program orbatch file, Null.What I ideally want to do is pass xp_cmdshell variables for the 2 file'spath+names. I have tried numerous variations of single and double quoteswithout success, which is why I decided to work up form the simple 'copyc: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt', but can't even get that to work.Any advice much appreciated.

I need to backup a single DB with "Copy-only Backup" option on. I Want to place the backup on a different location, we have a media set which is used for daily backups. I want this backup placed on a different
server 192.168.250.xxx
DepartmentsITBackup2015xxx.bak
I have added this location to "back up to" The old one is still there. I I then hit OK th backup hangs for 2-3 minutes and gives me an error which points to the old media set. SO I want to create a new media set and call it "onlyonce" but what I am not sure about is what this Means "back up to a new media set and erase all existing backup sets" Does that mean all old backups will be deleted?
Hello,
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
Or is the datebase name part of the .mdf file?

Hi everyone -
I have a client who need to output some text from a stored procedure to a text file. The main problem is that it is a SOX system, so we can't use xp_cmdshell, and we can't create new tables. This rules out the following methods:
DTSrun
osql
bcp
I then thought well maybe we can convert the SP to a DTS package. Well that can't work because he stores the text to be output in a #temptable, and I couldn't get DTS to do data transformation on a temptable.
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Any ideas?
Thanks,

The Bulk Insert actually creates a empty error.txt file (0kb) and never preforms the insert, I can not find any examples of anyone using the -ERRORFILE switch on BULK INSERT. Prolly some default security setting to allow file creation/modification I am missing. Anyone help me out? Thanks.

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
Hi i am looking for some advice about sql databases and wondering if anybody can help me.
First the Background.
I am in the process of writing a payroll program that uses SQL as a data store. However rather then creating individual databases for each payroll that can be ran on the system i have created a core payroll table that generates a unique id for each payroll and then reference that thoughtout the system.
Now The Problem
The problem I now have is when I work out the final pay for the employees I want to make a quick copy of the various records just in case I need to undo the net pay calculations for adjustments to the data, it is effectively rolling back the transactions to the database but I want to be able to keep them till I decide that everything is correct.
I cant take a snapshot of the entrie database because the payrolls stored within may be in all sorts of states.
I need to keep the records for just the payroll I'm working on.
Any Ideas or Solutions !!!!!
Thanks

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!

I got full backup on daily schedule its taking more space on Drive because each file has more than 25GB.I am using SLQ server 2008R2 so I'm looking to take the backup with compression instead of uncompressed Backup. What are the impacts of compressed backup. Is there any problems with compressed backup while restoring the backup file.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.

I need to copy the last differential backup file from the production server directory to a data warehouse server directory. There are 3 differential backup files on the directory and I need to grab the latest one. I have the following syntax which work from a batch file but it does not work when I put it into a job step as a cmd even though I remove the double %% to only one %.
echo @off
set path1="192.29.305.213$SqlserverProductionBa ckupsKBR_PROD"
set path2=K:SqlserverDatawarehouseBackupPROD
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%%~a" "%path2%" & goto nextstep
:nextstep
Echo File Copied.
Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"
It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get

I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).
Hello,
We're new users of SQL Server 2005. I created two maintenance plans...one to backup the database at 2 AM daily and one to back up transaction logs every 30 minutes. These maintenance plans write to a local disk. What we want to do, within the maintenance plan, is copy the files as soon as they are written to a remote server. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I need to set up create a package so that I could check the date of the files posted in a folder, e.g. H:source. If there is no file created later than one day exists, then continue to check again one hour later. If files do exists, then copy then to c:dest and then upzip the files. Once this is done, sent an notification email to user@mydomain.com.
Thanks,
According to the help for SSIS, one method of deploying an SSIS package
to a SQL Server,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137565.aspx, is to use the
File...Save a Copy of <package file> as... menu option.
I don't have that menu option at all. And yes, the package is in
focus. My save menu options are simply; Save Selected, Save
<package file> As... and Save All.
I am using Version 9.00.1399.00 of the SSIS Designer.
At one time I did have the Management Studio's CTP installed.
However it was uninstalled before installing the tools from the
Standard Edition. (it would seem like not completely however)
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx much.
p.s. Almost forgot to mention... I am already aware of using the
DTSInstall utility as a workaround. It should be noted, however,
that despite enabling the "CreateDeploymentUtility" property, the
DTSInstall.exe is not copied to the binDeployment directory.
