Hello all. Does anyone know if a successful completion of a 'restore
filelistonly' command would indicate that a backup file is valid? I've
noticed some of our backup jobs failing during the verify phase of the
maintenenace plan because of network issues, and I'd like a quick way to
check if the backup is valid because some of the backup files take hours to
verify. I searched MS Support and they don't seem to have any info on this.

Hello,
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™,
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
I am looking for your expert opinions, how reliable is using "RESTORE VERIFYONlY" in determining if a backup is restorable?
------------------------
Future guru in the making.
1-anyone know why there are 4 files in this bak file?
2-how do you create it?
3-how do you restore it?
thx
restore filelistonly
from disk = 'r:ackupIPGDB_BackupDevice.bak'

I would like to use "RESTORE FILELISTONLY' in a stored procedure, but I do not know how to retrieve the result set that it makes up. I need to know the names of files contained in the backup set, so I can do a specific restore.
Thanks,
Judith
Hi all
every time I try to verify the backup file I get the error:
backup set on file '1' is not valid (translated from italian).
this is my backup script:
BACKUP DATABASE [ahr_sistema] TO DISK = N'C:ProgrammiMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupahr_sistemaahr_sistema_backup_1.bak' WITH FORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'ahr_sistema-Completo Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
declare @backupSetId as int
select @backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'ahr_sistema' and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'ahr_sistema' )
if @backupSetId is null begin raiserror(N'Verifica non riuscita. Impossibile trovare le informazioni di backup per il database ''ahr_sistema''.', 16, 1) end
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = N'C:ProgrammiMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupahr_sistemaahr_sistema_backup_1.bak' WITH FILE = @backupSetId, NOUNLOAD, NOREWIND
GO

RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally.
When moving around 800 databases from 40 MSDE servers to on STD SQL2k server,
I need the logicalfile name info in order to run the script to restore from backup device. The only place I could get from the target server is the backup device(which are copied from 40 MSDE to STD). It works fine and retuns value from "restore filelistonly from backup_Testing".
But fails when I tried to put the result into a table variable or a temp #Table.
declare @tableFileList
table (LogicalName nvarchar(128), PhysicalName nvarchar(260), Type char(1), FileGroupName nvarchar(128), Size numeric(20,0), MaxSize numeric(20,0))
insert into @tableFileList
restore filelistonly from backup_Testing

When I try to do a restore filelistonly I get the following message
[Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Location: upgraddb.cpp:214
Expression: tableIndex < ARRAY_LEN (upgradeMap)
SPID: 8
Process ID: 216]
I get the same when I try a restore database
The instance is on a xp Pro local desktop which is only new. No database has been restored yet on this instance.
But everything seems to work fine on this instance e.g Northwind, xp_cmdshell etc.
Any help??
Thanks
