i am getting the following error when i try and restore a datbase
The log in this backup set begins at LSN 110000000011300001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 102000000188100001 can be restored..
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
Hi, I am restoring a database as a complete step. The database icon, under the Sql server Group in the Sql server enterprise manager, turned into gray and got a word (loading) infront of the database name, what does that means?

I am just curious to know whether it's possible to restore a SQL 6.5 DB from a DB device file. For e.g. i have a device file abc.dat which contains a db. Now thru this device file can i restore the data on xyz database.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I'm trying to restore a database to a completely new database from an exsiting full backup.
On the backup device there are two full backups from different dates.
How can I specify which one of the two backups I want use for my restore (The only difference is the date ??
Thanks,
I had SQL win2k running on a machine and had 2 dbs. unfortunately the hard drive failed (ntldr crashed). i was able to copy the contents of from the old drive (so i have the DB files) but no backups.
Is there any way to import this data into a new DB?
Can you restore a backup (bak) file to a different server? E.g. client gets server nicked, they have bak files, can I run a restore to my sql server?
I can see the with MOVE option, but I can't see how to attach (to the new server) if the database wasn't detached (from the nicked server).
while iam restoring my back up i got this error message
Msg 3117, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26
The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Hey all.Can anyone point me in the general direction of documentation whichwould tell me how to restore a DB via the command line instead of usingenterprise manager?ThanksMatt

I've got a .mdf/.ldf database/log. I'm trying to bring it into SQL Server Management studio, but can't figure out how. I've gotten as far as "Attaching" it, but can't figure out where to go from there. Can anyone help me out. I know this is very basic.

Hi,
I have created a DB on my local machine.
Now I would like to copy this on to another machine.
I stopped the service and then copied both the MDF file and the
log files into the same folder as in Data folder of the second machine.
When I run theStudio express I cannot find the MDF file.It does not show up in the
the DB folder or window.
When I try to create one it says that the DB exists.
What am I missing?
I tried doing a backup and restore but then the DB is not created on the second machine and
hence wont work.
Tnx

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,I'm new to sql but have a website running it on a hosted site. I want to have a local copy of the site running here for testing. I have everything set on my local machine to run it including MSDE and Enterprise Mgr.I've created a blank db with the same name,username and password on my local machine. From my host I received a dbname.bak file which they said I should just restore to my local machine. This sounded simple but I have no idea how to do this. When I right click on the db file within Ent.Mgr I see the Restore option but I can figure out how to designate the dbname.bak file as the source. I also see an option to import but that isn't any better.Does anyone have some simple directions which will show me the proper steps and where I should be to do this? I'd really appreciate it. I assume it's simple but not having ever done it it has me stumped.Thanks!

i have backup file on ABCsqlbackup where ABC is M/c Name on the network
from my Server i mapped ABCsqlbackup to the I drive
then from enterprise magager i tried to restore DB and i gave path as I:xyz.bak
for backup device location where xyz.bak is backup file name.
when i tried to restore like this it is giving error "unable to verify backup file location"

"Unable to open Backup Device I:xyz.bak Failed to open.Operating system error,Unknown user name or bad password"
and that Sqlbackup directory is shared and it has full access to everyone.
Can anybody tell me how to restore from the Network, and where i am doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

1) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?
2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?
I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
"Restore Now" button is greyed out after choosing to "Add File". I know I've done this before, can't figure out the problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, i've struggled in the past to get ms sql 7 db's from one server to another server and always end up getting frustrated. I usually just export and then import..... more work but it does the trick.
Now i've been sent one single db data file that i'm told is a backup copy of someones database. How do i get this loaded onto my server. I've tried restoring from this file but it complains that the backup file is not for the database i'm restoring to.... which is correct.... this has to be something that many people deal with? isn't it?
Can someone please help me out.... some pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I am fairly new to SQL Server and have a question about restoring a database . If a server that contained SQL Server was totally destroyed, and we have backups stored on an external server, how do we restore these backups. I am assuming I would have to install a new instance on the server we buy to replace the destroyed one. Once installed how do I convince or tell SQL Server that there are backups out there. I could move the archived backups back to the new server, but how do I point the new instance of SQL Server to these backups? Thanks in advance for any help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database that I am restoring from a different server. I have created the devices and the database to match that of the original. However, on clicking restore I get the following error:
[SQL Server] User specified volume id 'SS0001' does not match te volume id ' SQL001' of the device <database path>.
This seems to imply that I cannot restore to a different server, but from what I have read about other problems here, this isn't true. Can anyone shed any light as it is most frustrating.

I have a .dat file from a SQL Server 6.5 database and am trying to restore it on my server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information, please let me know. If it`s not obvious, I`m new to SQL Server so try not to gloss too much over the details.
Thanks,

Using SQL 7.0, has anyone backed up a database and restored on to a different database without the device files being moved around.
For example, With SQL 6.5 we used to backup PROD (source) database and restore to TRAIN (target) database. It worked just great regardless whether the databases are located on the same drive or not. We loved it and used it to refresh TRAIN from PROD on a weekly basis.(using sql Enterprise Mgr)
However, in SQL 7.0 when we attempt this procedure the database and log files of the TRAIN (target) are getting relocated to the drive location of PROD (source) database. Very strange.
Though thru object transfer i.e. import ,we can import data from PROD(source)
to TRAIN (target) database, but it is very slow and takes lot of time and performance degrades for source database (PROD)
Any input on above will be appreciated if backup / restore thru
enterprise mgr or TSQL procedure works in SQL 7.0 for restoring another database which is also on different drive i.e PROD (source) database on
drive C and TRIAN (target) database on drive E.
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to build a test environment for our production server. I backedup and restored all my databases. I had to copy the jobs too, so I backedup and restored msdb database. When I try to change any of the jobs, I get the following message.
"Error 14274: Cannot add, update, or delete a job (or its steps or schedules) that originated from an MSX server."
I have no clue what this message is about. Can someone please provide me with some clues about how I can modify my jobs and get my test environment to work.
Thanks,
