Db Backup Simple Vs. Full Recovery Mode
Feb 14, 2007
When we do a full database backup manually, we are seeing the trn file reflect the current date/time, but we are not seeing the mdf reflect the new date/time. And we are not seeing the transaction log file decrease in size. the recovery mode is set to full, do we need to change to simple to see both the mdf being backup'ed?

I have a small, ~10GB SQL 2008 R2 database, that was setup with simple recovery. We do full backup each night at midnight when no one is using the database. Is there any problems with doing differential backups during the day when users may be writing to the database? Could I even do hourly differential backups while users are using the database? I'm conflicted about switching over to full recovery mode and using transaction logs to have the ability restore data between backups. If I can do a couple daily differential backups while users are using the database during the day, in addition to our nightly full backups, than I live with simple recovery mode.

Hi MVPS/MS Experts:
Pardon me and my ignorance for asking this question. I just want to understand the backup architecture more clearly. According to BOL (both in SQL 2k and SQL 2k5) in simple recovery mode trasaction log backup is not possible since the log is truncated on checkpoint which is true. Also we know that FULL backup backups both the db and transaction log as well.
My question is what happens when a database is in simple recovery mode and a full backup is done. since the tran log cannot be backed up does only the db backup is done when a full backup is done?. What exactly happens behind the scenarios?. Is it that only the active log gets backed up when a full backup is done in simple recovery mode?. I am trying to understand how a full backup in simple recovery mode behaves without contradicting the full backup architecture and that the veracity of the statement (both db and tran log backup in full backup mode) holds true for a simple recovery scenario.
MVPs/ MS Experts if you could Please explain it in detail, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Ankith

Hi,
On SQL 2000, if I have a large transaction log for my database and I manage to fill it with a single large transaction but it is not set to autogrow, what happens?

I have several databases that perform daily backups. Ever since I installed SP2, the backup jobs are failing. The logs state that it's because the database recovery mode cannot be SIMPLE, but need to be either FULL or Bulk-Logged.
Can anyone tell me if this is true, and that I do have to change my recovery mode?
Here's the error:

Hi,
What is the impact of changing the recovery mode of a database from Full to simple? The client I am at has set their database to full recovery mode, set their log files to grow automatically. But I don't think they have ever done a backup of their transaction log (it has grown to over 19Gig, where the data portion of the database is only around 400M).
What is the impact of truncating the transaction log now? After truncating it, i would like to shrink the file to a managable number and change the recovery mode to simple (they don't need transaction log backups)
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jim

hi,
we have a SQL Server 2000 database which we set to 'SIMPLE' recovery mode at 6pm (due to nightly large data loads). We revert back to 'FULL' recovery mode at 6am.
My understanding was that in 'SIMPLE' recovery mode, the transaction log would not grow because it would automatically be truncated after a checkpoint. However this is not the case. I thought perhaps it could be due to a long running uncomitted transaction, but when I ran 'dbcc opentran', the oldest running transactions doesn't last for more than a couple minutes. I manually run a 'checkpoint' command as well in the hope of forcing the transaction log truncation. I repeat this a couple of times to no avail. When I run 'dbcc sqlperf(logspace)' , I can still see the transaction log growing.
It is not until I run 'backup log db with truncate_only' that the transaction log gets truncated.
I do not understand, why the transaction log does not get automatically truncated in SIMPLE recovery mode?

Is this Possible, If database is in Simple recovery Mode and the ldf size gets increased?? .
mdf size : 159 GB (171,383,717,888 bytes)
ldf size : 6.46 GB (6,945,505,280 bytes).
My question is if the recovery model is in Simple Mode then why the log gets generated high.
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) --output

Hi
What are the pros and cons of putting the system databases in full recovery mode
I am asked by my manager to keep everything simple and uniform.We have all the user databases in Full recovery mode and he wants all the system databases as well to be full recovery mode.
I would like to get the points where in i can argue that, there is no point in having the system databases in full recovery mode.Unfortunately i dont see anything related to this in BOL or internet.
Plz help
Thanks

Wondering whether I can have following included in a script file:
1. set the current single user db from Full to Simple recovery mode.
2. Checkpoint and shrink the transaction log file (release all unused space)
3. set the current single user db from Simple recovery to Full recover mode.

I have two instances (Source and Destination) on the same server, i did a full backup of a database on the source server, i did a restore on the destination using the NORECOVERY mode, now the database on the destination as green arrow saying "restoring". From the source database i set up the mirroring, i'm using port 5022 on source and 5023 on destination, everything seems to connect fine but when i start mirroring i get the error message "Database mirroring cannot be enabled because the database is not full recovery error: 1465" but when i look at the property of the db on the source the recovery model shows full as so the destination?

I have a database that I am trying to recover space from, it consists mostly of unallocated space, but I can’t seem to get that unused space released.
Database size: 40,245.13 MB
DatafileMB: 38,063.63, DataAvailableMB: 37,085.15
LogfileMB: 2181.51
Sysfiles shows:
fileidgroupidsizemaxsizegrowthstatusperfname
114872144-112820SomeDB
202792332684354561010486420SomeDB_log
The DB is in simple recovery mode. There are no open transactions (used dbcc opentran).
The server is running SQL Server 2014 and the DB is in compatibility mode SQL Server 2008 (100). It was upgraded to 2014 a month or two ago.
I have tried to re-size the log to 100mb, but any way I have tried (none gave errors), the log file remains the same size. I have tied to shrink the log file (through the UI and via DBCC commands) without success; no errors, but also no change in file size.
I have checked Log Reuse Waits, just in case, and as expected it showed “NOTHING” (select log_reuse_wait_desc, name from sys.databases)
I tried running a checkpoint, but that did not allow any resize or shrink to work.
I have tied creating large transactions to move the used point in the log file, in case this was the issue. I did this by creating tables that I drop after large inserts. While it shows me that the log space % used increased, the log file still does not allow the space to be reduced.
The following is what I was using for the transactions to get the log used.
BEGIN TRAN
select a.* into testtable from sysobjects a, sysobjects b, sysobjects c
ROLLBACK TRAN
Each insert creates 93,576,664 rows.
Running dbcc SQLPerf(logspace) :
DBLogSize(MB)LogSpaceUsed(%)Status
SomeDB2181.534.204890
Running dbcc loginfo:

0211437342728192602640
02114373427211437424645701280
Do I just need to continue running large transactions until the log space used gets high enough to get the “end point” in the log to really move? Is there an easier way to accomplish this (I have several DBs that have the almost identical problem), what I am using moves the Log Space Percent Used about a percent on each execution.

I 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...

We have a SQL Server 7.0 database running with trunc. log on chkpt andselect into/bulkcopy checked and need to develop a backup strategy.One of our DBAs insists that since the transaction log is beingtruncated, we can't do a hot backup (a FULL backup in multiuser mode)because if a transaction comes through during the backup it will leavethe backup in an inconsistent state. I'm skeptical, but I don't knowhow SQL Server 7 avoids this problem.If SQL 7 is not truncating the transaction log, it uses thetransaction log to roll forward changes that occurred during thebackup. Obviously if it's truncating the log it must have some way toapply these transactions anyway (such as not doing a checkpoint duringthe backup, backing up the log at each checkpoint, etc.).Can anyone confirm that a hot backup will be valid when trunc. log onchkpt is checked? Does anyone know how SQL 7 accomplishes this?Thanks!James

Hello,
I have a question regarding the backup for the database in Simple Recovery Model.
In this Model, I know we can restore only to the last full backup or can use differential
Backup, if implemented as a part of backup.
But my point of confusion is about the backup of '.ldf' file, should those file should be backed up in the
Maintenance Plan, if yes does it help in reducing the size of Log file?
Do we need the backup of '.ldf' in phase of Restoring?
As I mention my database has Simple Recovery Model, but the size of log file is around 20GB,
Could not understand why as in this Model, normally it automatically truncate the Log file?
Help me to clear my these doubts,
thanks,

We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

Hello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.
Ryan

I have a db running under simple recovery mode. I am really pressed at disk space, and we have a long running script that keeps failing with "no space left on the device" error. I noticed the log file is very large. I plan to set the max log file size but at the same time I want to know that the database is in the log-truncate mode - perhaps from the database itself. Is there any metadata that could tell me this?

By default, distribution database is set to simple recovery mode. Why ? Should this be changed to full ? how often should transaction logs be taken ? What is the recommendation ?
Thank you

1st question I have to ask is:
Is Emergency Mode the same as Bypass Recovery Mode?
2nd:
I have a SQL2005 Database that was suspect this morning. I put the database in Emergency Mode: alter database {dbname} set emergency.
I did a dbcc checkdb on the database and found some corrupt indexes. I attempted to do a dbreindex on the table and got the error:
Could not run BEGIN TRANSACTION in database '{dbname}' because the database is in bypass recovery mode.
How can I put the database in single_user mode and to a point where I can reindex the 1 table that is causing the problems. I would even be willing to drop the indexes and re-create.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Pete
