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.
Here is the situation, I have a web application (asp.net/vb.net) with ms sql 2000 as the database. I have two database server. I would like to backup database 1 with database 2. I would like to do it at intervals and through code. If anyone can give me some ideas on how to do this or any research material, please do.
Thanks
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!

How can I make a backup plan to make sure I am not lossing any input or deleted data .

How can I take advantage of the transaction log in restoring the database.

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,

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!

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.

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

Hi There,
I want to know how to backup and restore database from VB.net. ie I am trying to put two buttons on my form, Backup and Restore. When I click on Backup a Backup of the SQL Database with extension of *.bak is created. Similarly when I click on restore and select a database with *.bak extension it should restore that database. I saw a software where it created a backup of Sql database with extension of .zip containing the bak file which is password protected. when u restore the database it automatically gets unzipped and the database is restored. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance.

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?
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...
I have an online SQL Server database provided by an ISP. I do not havepermission to create a backup device and I understand this is normalpractice.I am not using Enterprise Manager to administer the online database.I know I can back up the structure of the database using SQLscripts.My question is:How do I back up on my own machine the data contained in the onlinedatabase tables I have created? If I were using Enterprise Manager Icould do it by downloading tables using the DTS facility but how can Ido it without Enterprise Manager?Is there some work around which I have missed eg creating a csv fileof the data?Best wishes for 2005 to all those helpful people in this newsgroup!John Morgan

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database.
I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility.
Is there a better way of doing this ?

Hi all,
New member here...
I've used SQL2000 before (Enterprise Mgr, Query Analyzer), but, now I'm at a company without any DBAs so I'm on my own as far as administration goes which I haven't done before on SQL2000.
We have a production database about 100MB in size. As of now there is no development DB. They won't pay for a new server, so I'd like to create a new development database on the same prod server. Then, I want to copy the existing prod database into the new dev DB.
I've read up some on DTS, but I wanted to check with the community to see if anyone had other recommendations or if this is the best way to go about it.
Also, is this a process that should run at off-hours? Would the copy of production lock the DB up?
Thanks a lot...
Hello,I'm trying to make a copy of a database with this code
Code Snippet
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string dbname = @"D:Documents and SettingsBeheerderMijn documentenVisual Studio 2005ProjectsTest12Test12inDebugDatabase1.mdf";
string constr = string.Format("Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename="{0}";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True", dbname);
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(constr))
{
connection.Open();
connection.Close();
}
File.Copy("Database1.mdf", "Database1Copy.mdf");
}
but once the code tries to execute the File.Copy line it comes with an error that the database is currently in use by another program, and also when I'm debugging the program and I try to copy this database with windows explorer it says that the program is currently in use.I've read up some stuff and found that you can stop the SQLServer Service, wich I did but then my program gave an error about not being able to connect to the database, when starting upand also detaching and attaching a database, wich I don't know how to do.So my question is are any of these above methods correct to do, and how do write the code for it? If not is there any other way to copy a database?Thanks in advance,Ruben Pieters

Hi,Whats the best and easiest way to copy a table from one database to another via ASP.net?I want to copy from SQL Server to Oracle.
