Need To Backup Single DB With Copy-only Backup Option On
May 6, 2015
I need to backup a single DB with "Copy-only Backup" option on. I Want to place the backup on a different location, we have a media set which is used for daily backups. I want this backup placed on a different
server 192.168.250.xxx
DepartmentsITBackup2015xxx.bak
I have added this location to "back up to" The old one is still there. I I then hit OK th backup hangs for 2-3 minutes and gives me an error which points to the old media set. SO I want to create a new media set and call it "onlyonce" but what I am not sure about is what this Means "back up to a new media set and erase all existing backup sets" Does that mean all old backups will be deleted?

We have an application with SQL Server 2005 as his database. When I open the database in sql server management studio, under management > it does not give the option like "backup", "copy database", nor there is folder called maintenance plans.
how I can bring back the option?

Hi Guys,
Why is that some of the databases has their "Transaction Log" & "File and Filegroup" options in Backup greyed out? I was trying to create a backup job using the sql enterprise backup wizard. However, the database that is the backend of our erp application has its "Transaction Log" and "File and Filegroup" option greyed out.
Any idea why?

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
Jane

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.

Hi i am looking for some advice about sql databases and wondering if anybody can help me.
First the Background.
I am in the process of writing a payroll program that uses SQL as a data store. However rather then creating individual databases for each payroll that can be ran on the system i have created a core payroll table that generates a unique id for each payroll and then reference that thoughtout the system.
Now The Problem
The problem I now have is when I work out the final pay for the employees I want to make a quick copy of the various records just in case I need to undo the net pay calculations for adjustments to the data, it is effectively rolling back the transactions to the database but I want to be able to keep them till I decide that everything is correct.
I cant take a snapshot of the entrie database because the payrolls stored within may be in all sorts of states.
I need to keep the records for just the payroll I'm working on.
Any Ideas or Solutions !!!!!
Thanks

But I am running this command with sa user.....
Wich kind of permission is missing to execute this copy?
When I execute the same command to copy the backup from the server to itself, it works fine!!!!
Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?????

Hello,
i would like to copy the SQL Server Express database .mdf and .ldf files for backup. Is this ok?
Autoclose = true and recovery model = simple.
Must i detach the database before copy the 2 files or can i copy the 2 files without detach at any time? When connections are open (also remote connections).
Can i copy at any time even when transactions are active?
I would like to write a copy programm which copies the 2 files every 30 minuutes. Only 30 minutes of work could be lost.
This would be enough for me and i don't have to care for the the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff. In the past i used BACKUP and when i needed this BACKUP it did not run. Returns some error message..
Is copy ok? When is it possible? At any time or must all transactions be comitted? Must all connections (remotes too) be closed? Must the database be detached?
Is this enough to have a valid backup? Backup would be an attach of the .mdf file.
Or must i use the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff? Why?
If so, for what reason is the AUTO CLOSE property there?
Regards,
Markus

Hi:
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?)
Thanks!

Hi!
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:
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 15089: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot change the 'single user' option of a database while another user is in the database.

I have a backup that contains multiple databases. I am restoring it to a different server. How do I restore each database? Tried to restore under SQL Server Management Studio, but can only restore one of many from the backup (it appears it has only 1 logical file name in the backup) If you can refer me to a web page that would be great. I tried googling the topic but nothing seems to come up.

I need to copy the last differential backup file from the production server directory to a data warehouse server directory. There are 3 differential backup files on the directory and I need to grab the latest one. I have the following syntax which work from a batch file but it does not work when I put it into a job step as a cmd even though I remove the double %% to only one %.
echo @off
set path1="192.29.305.213$SqlserverProductionBa ckupsKBR_PROD"
set path2=K:SqlserverDatawarehouseBackupPROD
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%%~a" "%path2%" & goto nextstep
:nextstep
Echo File Copied.
Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"
It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get

I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).

Hello,
We're new users of SQL Server 2005. I created two maintenance plans...one to backup the database at 2 AM daily and one to back up transaction logs every 30 minutes. These maintenance plans write to a local disk. What we want to do, within the maintenance plan, is copy the files as soon as they are written to a remote server. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance.

The Seagate Backup Exec. states that the files are busy and skips them during its backup cycle. It skips all the devices in the

Hi,
Can someone please express their experience and recommendations for the following questions?
1. Do you need to unable SQL-Backup if you already using a 3rd party software utility to backup the SQL data drives?
2. If you do not want to shutdown SQL services for backup can you use Volume Shadow Copy as a solution to open files?
3. What size would you recommended to use for the Transaction Logs DB if my Data DB size is 2GB
I am running Windows 2003 with SQL 2000/SP3. Obviously, I am not an expert in SQL so I appreciate your help.
Thanks

We have just implemented a SQL 2012 always on environment. We have a primary and secondary server. I am confused about how to set up the backup plans. The application team was happy to tell me that in sql 2012 always on we can offload the backups to the secondary, thus reducing overhead on the primary server.
However, the secondary only supports copy only full backups. I am unsure how these would be useful in a disaster event? I could not apply any trx log backups on a copy only backup. This means I need to run my full backups on the primary server?
