Database Backup With Encryption
Jun 7, 2007Hi,
I want to backup my database at regular intervals and encrypt it. Also I want to verify the back up. How do I do it?
I want the back ups to run every fortnight.
Thanks.
Hi,

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Any simple summary of the new backup encryption? I've found a small handful of articles, but apparently I have some sort of mental block where keys and certs are involved.I'm trying to determine if this is a viable replacement (for our purposes) for SQL Backup, which we started using primarily for the compression and encryption. We don't have issues with SQL Backup, I'd rather not install additional utilities for native functionality.
What I can't seem to understand is how one goes about restoring an encrypted backup onto another server. When one restores the master key onto the destination server, what happens to the existing key on that server?
Right now, we have backups off-site in third-party storage, and all we need to restore is the .sqb and the password (and the SQB converter). With native encryption, we need the .bak, the keys, the cert, and the password?
Hello!
I started Configure Report Server (2005) and have executed backup of the encryption key.
Problem occurred on restore of the encryption key as following error (I have provided correct backup snk):
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.39'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo)
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.RestoreEncryptionKey(Byte[] encryptedBytes, String password)
ReportingServer sites stop working with similar error (browsing by IE):
The found version is 'C.0.8.39'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase)
ReportingServer services are all locked by this.
Can you please tell how to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much!

Is there a way to schedule the backup of encryption keys periodically?

I'm trying to backup the Encryption Key for the Reporting Services. After I insert the password / location key file and click Ok, I get the following error:

I have tried with diferents passwords but none of them is ok. I don't have any rule on local windows password policy!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I just installed Reporting Services (2005) in a "distributed installation" mode. That is, I have sql server 2005 on a separate server. I installed the Report Server on its own server where I already had IIS running.
That all seemed to go well and I didn't get any errors or anything. After the install process was done, I ran the RS Configuration Manager tool. Since "Install but do not configure" option was automatically selected for me, I started working through all the pages from top to bottom. Again everything worked, and I have green checkboxes next to all of the nodes in the left except...
When I get to the Encryption Keys page, it has a blue exclamation icon next to its icon in the left pane. On the page itself, the Backup and Change buttons are disabled, greyed out.
And, the next item down, Initialization, is shown with a greyed out "x" icon. It's not red, but greyed out.
So, I'm not sure what this all means, but I'm guess it means that I don't have RS set up yet...! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all - I have an installation of SQL Server 2K5 Express with Reporting Services on an XP Pro SP2 PC. It has been running for about 6 months now. Within the 1st month, I had to restore the Encryption Key (the Report Manager failed to function properly).
All had been well until last week, when I had to restore the encryption key (for the same reason). After restoring the encryption key, the Report Manager immediately started to work again.
It happened again today, so I had to once again restore the encryption key. Can anyone offer any ideas as to why/how this would happen?
Thanks!
Current am using the below script it is working fine i need use ENCRYPTION script where i should add this

I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

I have created two user defined functions for encryption and decryption using passphrase mechanism. When I call encryption function, each time I am getting the different values for the same input. While I searching a particular value, it takes long time to retrieve due to calling decryption function for each row.
best way to encrypt and decrypt using user defined functions.Below is the query which is taking long time.
SELECT ID FROM table WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE dbo.DecodeFunction(column) = 'value'
When I try to use symetric or asymetric encryption, I am not able to put "OPEN SYMETRIC KEY" code in a function. So, I am using PassPhrase mechanism.
Hi,
i am trying to encrypt my database using dbEncrypt software.The encryption provides role based access ot the database.In that case developer can not call any stored procedure of that database. These two are conflicting things. Can anyone suggest me a way so that i can access the stored procedure through my code by checking the roles from the front end. is it possible??
Please reply soon.

is there a way to encrypt a propriatary database so that it may not betampered with except for those who hold the key?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello I just want make sure: There is no encryption of the whole database.I assume this, because I have found only the themes "encryption for connections" and "encrypted columns"Why this question:
A lot of customer ask for this (maybe without further knowledge)
We've got a merge replication with offline laptops.
So, if one of this laptops get lost, it would calm people if the data were encrypted.I'd be very thankful for a fast reply, as my boss is in a meeting with such customers.Kind regardsAline
We are planning to store the pin number in a sqlserver table. This column has to be encrypted and stored in the database. As new records are added this column needs to encrypted automatically. Please advise me of any tools.

Could you help me how could I encrypt an SQL Express database with a password?
The lines I currently use:
ssconn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;"
CreateDatabase = "CREATE DATABASE i ON (NAME = i, FILENAME = '" & ssceconfilename & "')"
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(CreateDatabase, ssconn)
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
I intend to encrypt the whole database structure so that nobody could see in.
I managed to do the encryption with SQL CE 2.0, but how to do it with express?
Thank you!

I'm a newbie to SQL and I inherited a 2008 R2 Sql server with about 20 different databases on it. I've noticed that more than half of the databases are encrypted and I was looking to encrypt the rest but for some reason I am unable to do so. I'm assuming I already have a master key created but when I go to Options of the DB and change Encryption Enabled from False to True I get and error, "Cannot change database encryption state because no database encryption key is set." How I could use my existing key to encrypt the databases or would I have to create a separate key for each db?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm currently learning how to implement Encryption into my SQL database, and I've run into something I don't know how to explain or understand. I'm working on creating a set encryption for a set of columns in a database, and I don't know how to figure out what size the VARBINARY column needs to be. After some trial and error, I've noticed that a clear text of 9 characters needs 68 varbinary characters, 100 cleartext=148 varbinary, and 254 cleartext= 308 varbinary characters. How is the minimum number of varbinary characters calculated?

Can anyone help?
I have a database using encryption with symmetric keys created using asymmetric keys.
I backed up this database and restored it on another machine along with the service master key.
I can read the encrypted data fine. But all the encrypted stored procs that are associated with the application that uses the data cannot read the data, they just return Nulls.
If I regenerate all the encrypted stored procs from script they work fine again.
Is there a way to restore the database without having to regenerate all the encrypted procs??

Hi,
Does anyone know how to encrpyt a field in a table created in SQL Server Database.
Data encryption and database restores.
1. When using data encryption on a 2 node active/passive cluster does it make any difference which server the sqlserver is running on when encrypting or dcrypting data?
2. When restring a database to a different server with encrypted data is the data decrytable or is it lost?
I would like to force only certain users on certain databases to use encrypted connections for accessing our 2005 SQL Server. I've found a clunky way to do it, via registering a login event notification and using the kill statement. However, that's ugly, and I don't think there is any guarantee that the event will always fire before an evil client could get off a few evil commands. Is this supported, or is the only supported feature the forceencryption option, which is server-wide?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...
