SQL Restore To Different Size Device
Feb 10, 1999Hi,
What I need to do is restore a full backup of one database to a database where disk space is limited.
so my source device is 2gb for data and 1gb for tranlog
my dest is 1.5gb for data and .5gb for tranlog
I am thinking this is not possible, but thought I would post here anyway!
Thanks in advance!
Restore Last Backup From A Device
Mar 29, 2004I want to be able to take a backup device to another server and then restore the last backup file within the device.
My script creates the backup device using the filename of the file from the other server but when I do the restore it only restores the first file in the device.
How can I get it to restore the last file? In EA I can do a manual resotre and look inside the device and choose say backup number 2.
How can I do this in a script?
Thanks

Restore To New Db Restores Less Data Than What Is In The Source Backup File
Jan 25, 2006I am trying to create sql code that restores a backup of a master database to a new database on the same server. It “seems” to run correctly as no errors are produced. However, the most recent updates to the master database are not present in the new databases. All databases are using the Full recovery model. What is really strange is that if I do (what I think is) the same function in Enterprise Administrator, the restore works fine! For both methods I used the same backup file!
Any and all help is sincerely appreciated.
The master databases from which the backups are made start with “MODTRNMaster”
The databases which are created from the restores start with “M1_” and “M2_”. (We call them training room databases.)
My script for backing up the master databases:
-- Backup the master training database
backup database MODTRNMaster
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_IMG
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_IMG.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_MNC
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_MNC.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_VM
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_VM.bak'
go
This is the restore script for restoring the first training room databases. I’m hoping that there is just something simple that I’m overlooking in these restore statements! J
-- Restore the backup of the master training database into the
-- training room #1 database.
use master
go
drop database M1_MSLH
go
restore database M1_MSLH
from disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
with move 'DEV5_Data' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH.mdf',
move 'MM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_1.mdf',
move 'AMB' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_2.mdf',
move 'DM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_3.mdf',
move 'IMM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_4.mdf',
move 'ED' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_5.mdf',
move 'DEV5_Log' to 'f:mssqllogM1_MLSH_log.ldf',
recovery
go
Thanks in advance

Data File Growth Afer Restore On 2005
Oct 15, 2007Hi at all,
first post....first help :P .
I hope to help another one (basing on my knowledge) in the next future :)
I'm a beginner dbadmin and I'm looking for help regarding a strange fact relative SQL Server 2005 :)
I migrated a medium(3,5GB) database from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005.
I made a backup in sql server 2000 (it has generated a 3,5GB BAK FILE) and I restored it in sql server 2005 on another server. (I didn't checked data file size).
I configured (with wizard) a maintenance plan on new sql server 2005 with these steps (in this order):
(tellme if the order of the steps is wrong :))
1) check db
2) rebuild index
3) reorganize indexes
4) update statistics (all table and all views)
I planned the maintenance plan on 3a.m. and I went home.
Next day I found that data file (MDF) on sql server 2005 was 22GB large!!
I made a shrink DB but there wasn't free space to erase. It seems there are
22GB of data.
(the data inside is the same of the sql 2000 server..same records same
table...identical, non change of data in the meanwhile)
How is it possible? What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand what can caused the growth of the file, the maintenance plan or the restore? (unfortunately....I didn't checked size after restore...I checked it only the next day).
May be the statistics? (there wasn'int update statistics job on old maintenance plan on sql server 2000)
Thanks in advance :)

then I run this LOG restore:
RESTORE LOG ReportServer

WITH NORECOVERY, FILE=2,
MOVE 'ReportServer2005' TO
'G:DataReportServer.mdf',
MOVE 'ReportServer2005_log' TO

GO
Msg 4038, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find file ID 2 on device '\MYMACHINEe$BackupsReportingServicesReportServerLog.bak'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I see file ID 2 identifying the log file. I've never done a restore like this - using copy_only and backing the database and log into separate .bak files, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.
Thanks for any help

Sdf File From Visual Studio To Device...
Sep 21, 2007A device solution I'm working on at the moment involves SQL compact. It is added to the currently selected project in VS2005 when I click on "Add New Data Source". The particular project it is added to within the solution is just a class library project (dll) which uses the database. The startup project on the other hand includes the windows forms etc. The problem I'm finding is that when the sdf file in the dll project is set to "copy always" or "copy if newer" it is not copied to the device at all. If I ensure that the sdf file is included in the startup project as "copy always" or "copy if newer", it does copy over to the device. Is this a bug or a feature?

Lost Index Device File And Database Suspect
Mar 3, 2005Can anyone help me to recreate the .NDF file if it was lost and not restorable? I have a stored procedure written that will then help me rebuild all indexes on all tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to create the index file again so I can run it. I have tried index files from other databases to no avail. There is no backup to go to.

Expanding Tempdb In A Device Prevents The Device From Being Deleted
Nov 17, 1998I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

Aug 11, 2009It's OS / SQL related. I backup to a UNC device, and frequently get a network related error - but not always. And the error is also OS related...

The file is generated, the same size as a successful backup, but the job terminates unsuccessful.I have tried to delete the devices' file, and then the backup usually succeeds. This may point to a permissions' type error, but the user the job is run under is a domain admin. The destination server is not unavailable during this time, and the network shares also remain active throughout the excersize - although I haven't got a way to "prove" this.
I have a few databases that backup to the UNC described above (different files) that don't fail..My SQL2000 server backs up it's databases to the SQL2008 server, and those backups don't fail with this error.
My research has led me to understand that the 64bit OS tries to buffer the files it receives from another server, and I was wondering if this could be influencing the backups as the destination server is also 64 bit Windows Server 2008.

DB Engine :: How To Restore From Current LDF Log File And Old BAK Backup File
Jun 11, 2015My customer got a total hard drive failure.After sending it to drive recovery specialist we were able to recover the LDF log file (MyDB_0.LDF).But the MDF file was completely destroyed (MyDB.MDF).They have a good full backup from a month ago.
1) Installed SQL Server 2012 on a new PC
2) Created a new database of same name (MyDB) - with same MDF and LDF file names as original
3) Took the new database offline
4) deleted the MDF and LDF files of the new database
5) put "MyDB_0.LDF" in the place of the LDF file I just deletedÂ
6) put the database back on-line
7) after hitting F5 to refresh databases - it shows "MyDB (Recovery Pending)"
8) tried to do Tail Log Backup with this command
  BACKUP LOG [MyDB] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPMyDB_TailLog.bak'
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
And I get this error...
Msg 3447, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Could not activate or scan all of the log files for database 'MyDB'.
The sad thing is I know we can get this data back using ApexSQL-Log. I can see all the transactions since the last full backup in this program - so the log file is not damaged. But my client doesn't want to pay the $2000 fee for this software.There has to be a way to restore this data, without having to purchase a third party tool.
