BACKUP DATABASE [myDB] TO DISK = N'f:BACKUPSDailymyBKUP.bak' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'mybackup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
It runs just fine but in append Mode (the default one); the bak file is being taped every night, so I would like to overwrite it, in order it not to become huge after a few time, but I can't seem to find a clear way to do this.
I have a database on sqlserver 2005.I usually take a full db backup and sequential transaction log backups and append each of the backups it to a backup file.Now if i want to copy my second transaction log file to a specific folder on my server.Do we have any procedure to do it.
We have a file where my co-employee backup's our database. The problem is that the file is getting too large because he always use APPEND when he backup's. Is there a way to delete some of the appended backup instances? Thank you very much for your help.
appending new backup on a same device - yes or no?
if somebody can tell me, is ok to constantly create new backus on a same device? i'm asking that, because in that case, defice file it will grow and grow.
is there any limit or suggestions how many appending is recomended, cause of file growth?
hello my freands i attached my database on 3 computer those are stand alone. i get backup form those separately . now,i have 3 backup files,with name: "bkcomputer1.bak","bkcomputer2.bak" and "bkcomputer3.bak" i want merge these,and make new file with new name "master" and restore to new computer my code for restor is: restore database [mydatabase] from disk='c:kupcomputer1.bak' restore database [mydatabase] from disk='c:kupcomputer2.bak' restore database [mydatabase] from disk='c:kupcomputer3.bak' but this way is false,because each restore deleted structure and data old data base,therefore after compile 3 over line,i have only data of computer3 please help me.... thanx
Hi All:Being a bit of a nube to MSSQL I could use a little advice. This is thesituation.A client's HDD became full so I backed up, deleted then recreated a blankdatabase (they said they didn't need the stored data).They have now deceided that they want the data again.My plan is to restore the database to a second volume so it can grow as muchas is needed, however, there is now data in the second instance that wouldneed importing to the restored DB.I can restore the backed up db with a different name and reconfigure thesoftware that accesses it but what would be the best method to append therestored DB with the data in the current instance of said DB? Both DBs areidentical.TIAMP
1- I have created a backup device 2- I have created a maintenance plan full backup and run it - with overwrite option on the backup device 3- I have created a maintenance plan differential backup and run it with append option on the same file of backup device 4- I have created a maintenance plan log backup with append option on the same backup device
When I made restore database from the backup device i found three files the full and differential and log backup
5- I ran again the differential backup maintenance plan ( suppose to be ran everyday night )
when i made restore database I found only two backups the full and the last differential !!!
what I want to do is to take a full backup every week , append differential backup everyday and append log backup every hour
when I ran the last differential backup it erased the first differential and log backups, why is this happening and how to apply this scenario and keep the all differential backups on the same backup device .
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

This question came to me from a friend and I don't have a lot of details so I apologize in advance. I thought it might be worth a shot to ask here since I couldn't find anything on point in the MS help or KB. A SQL Server 7 database running on an NT 4.0 box is having a full database backup nightly. The backup routine is pretty standard, created using the Maintenance Wizard. It backs up two databases on the server. The problem is that when folks come into work in the AM, the databases are in Single-User mode and someone has to go in and change this. Is this normal behavior? My (admittedly limited) understanding of SQL 7 backups is that they are relatively transparent, and Single User mode is not necessary. You can operate normally other than you can't to any unlogged txn's while the backup is running. They have not done anything explicit to put the databases in Single-user mode when the backup begins. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? (Or how to automate the switch out of Single-user mode when the backup is completed?)
I have a problem with databases that are left in single user mode after transaction log backup. I have a database maintenance plan job that backs up the transaction log and checks data and index linkage every hour. Sometimes the job fails and when I look in the report file it says that it has tred to put the database in single user mode and failed because the database is in use and then in the next step it says that it cannot perform the operation because there already is a user in the database.
Why is the database put in single user mode? What can I do to avoid finding my databases in single user mode?
Below is a part of the report file:

I have a DB, MDF is about 170GB, log 200GB. When I do a restore of it, the backup takes about 20 minutes to get to 100% but then it just stays there in Restoring Mode.
I have specified the WITH RECOVERY option.
What is happening that it doesn't commit the backup for some reason?
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 know the basic defiinition of these two options, but i am not very clear why would someone choose one over another, currently I am using Append to Media option, and every day backup, I see my backup files growing in size.
can someone give me nice example about these two options,
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
I have a small, ~10GB SQL 2008 R2 database, that was setup with simple recovery. Â We do full backup each night at midnight when no one is using the database. Â Is there any problems with doing differential backups during the day when users may be writing to the database? Â Could I even do hourly differential backups while users are using the database? Â I'm conflicted about switching over to full recovery mode and using transaction logs to have the ability restore data between backups. Â 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, Â than I Â live with simple recovery mode. Â
I have a queue that, after running fine for several days will mysteriously turn off. It doesn't seem to be related to a poison message because I can restart the queue and processing resumes just fine. What are all the scenarios that would cause a queue to turn itself off, so I can 1) take preemptive action to prevent it from happening in the first place and 2) respond appropriately when it occurs.
Also, how to properly setup and verify that the BROKER_QUEUE_DISABLED is working properly. This is the SQL that I have so far, but is there a more direct way to raise the event other than writing an activated stored procedure that rolls back 5 times?
Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says:
Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS. Any Ideas? Thanks! BobP
I have 2 DB on SQL Server 7, that are synchronized by a continuous transactional replication. The tables have a primary key on an identity column. In order to avoid conflicts, the identities have different seeds, and increment equal to 10. When the server shuts unexpectedly, the current value for the identity column goes out of sync, that is it assumes the greatest value inserted. The workaround is to run DBCC checkident to correct the identity value.

I looked through some of the threads and tried apply KB 936971 Hot Fix and I am running into the following error.
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Did any one come across this. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
I understand using sp_procOption procedure we could set procedure for autoexecution every time an instance of SQL Server is started. I would like to find out if there is any way for me to run a procedure before server shuts down.
I am interested to collect statistical data from DMV before SQL Server is restarted due to DMV's transient nature. I am sure some of you would suggest having a job running that collects data from DMV's periodically. But ideally I would like to collect data only once for server uptime.
I am running two jobs background using SQL agent. There was a power shut down and the two job i was running in back groung were cancelled leaving the below message
The job was stopped prior to completion by Shutdown Sequence 0.
Can any one tell me why this happened although I am running them in back ground.
I am not sure where the servers are located and if they are located in the same bulding .. do u think it is bcoz of tis power shut down only?
I know that there was huge tempdb usage and may be the disk was full but SQL server is not suppose to restart in this case.What could be the reason behind this? SQL server restarted and is currently up and running.We are using SQL server 2008 SP3

Durning install I selected Window's Authentication only, but now it seems we may need to use a Mixed Mode with an SA account etc... is there anyway to switch SQL 2005 to use Mixed Mode after the fact?
We have reports in SharePoint integrated mode which are really slow when compared to native mode. I have been asked to research and give info on what exactly causes the delays.
Any articles which give me information as to what happens when a report is run from SharePoint server and where does it log.
There is a query which when executed in the grid mode(ctrl+d) takes approx 0.02 seconds(about 21,000 rows) But when I execute in the text mode, it takes about 0.40 seconds!! Why is this difference? Also, when the records from this table are read from a VB application, they are equally slow (as in the text mode!) Why is it so slow on the text mode & relatively faster in the grid mode? Has anyone got any idea on ‘Firehose’ style cursor ?(which may speed up access of data in the VB application)
