Running Backup And Restore...
Mar 21, 2007
I had my IT dept. install sql server 2005 enterprise edition on a new windows server 2003. All other machines are running sql 2000 server on windows server 2000. I am a sa and local admin on all servers. I tried performing copy database, backup and restore and detach and attach to upgrade the sql server 2000 databases to 2005 and all fail. They also installed sql server 2005 sp2. I followed all steps. It's like the servers dont talk to each other. Their all on the company's domain. I am wondering if something happen with the install but the IT dept. insist that everything went fine. It's strange that I can't perform a simple backup and restore it on the new server buy when I click on restore it doesn't let me browse to get the backup file on the 2000 server. I never had a problem in Sql 2000 with backup. Can it be the installation was corrupted somehow. It seems fine. I haven't created any new databases because I wanted to move the databases from sql 2000. Can anyone help me get a clue of what the problem is please?
Thanks

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.

SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!
SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server x64.

I run an Operating system backup nightly using Veritas Backup exec (v8), immediatly after I run a SQL written backup job.
1. Can I use the same tape? Appending to the media that Veritas has written to?
2. How do I run the backup from cmd line from within Veritas? It has an option to "execute after backup job:"
- How do I run a SQL job from operating system?
Thanks,
AJ

We're having some issues with where our backups write to, so I've been watching and monitoring the performance, when I noticed today that restore labelonly from disk has been running almost non stop for the past few hours.
The account running the query is the SQL Server's service account, and the program is "Microsoft SQL Server".
Every minute or so the SPID changes which made me think it was related to the transaction logs, the "restore labelonly" runs for as long as each database in the transaction log backup.
Example: Database A transaction log backup takes 1 minute and the SPID XX for restore labelonly runs 1 minute
Database B transaction log backup starts and there is a new SPID for restore labelonly.
I hope this makes sense because I normally don't see this restore labelonly running.

If I run the following command in a Query window it works:
RESTORE DATABASE CIS_Source_Data_Test FROM DISK = 'y:CIS_Source_Data_backup_2015_06_17_085557_7782407.bak' WITH RECOVERY, REPLACE
If I dynamically put together the command and store it in variable @cmd and then execute it using
exec sp_executesql @cmd or exec (@cmd) it does not work. I get the following:
Msg 2745, Level 16, State 2, Procedure CIS_Source_Data_Refresh, Line 92
Process ID 62 has raised user error 50000, severity 20. SQL Server is terminating this process.
Msg 50000, Level 20, State 1, Procedure CIS_Source_Data_Refresh, Line 92
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Why it won't work when I try to create and run it dynamically?

Any ideas on how you might determine if a database backup is currently running? T-SQL script is preferable.
Background (SQL 2000 SP4):
I was previously running a script to backup the transaction log on a large database each hour. The script first looked in the backupset table in the msdb database to determine if a full backup was running by looking for a null value in the backup_finish_date column. Then the log backup would wait until the next hour to commence if it found a full backup had not finished yet. Some other cleanups and file numbering were also dependent on whether or not a null value was found in this column.
This process stopped working for me recently so I have looked closely at the inserts on the backupset table and found that the row for a given backup is not committed until the backup has completely finished. Therefore, the above process will not work as intended.
Thanks!

I had to replace my hard drive which was going bad. I reinstalled Sql 2005 and now need to restore the backup that I have. I selected Restore Database and chose From Device, and selected the backup location on J: drive and selected the backup file which has no extenstion. I checked the checkbox next to the backup set to restore. Click OK and then I get this error message:
Restore failed for Server
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataMyDB_Data.MDF" failed with the operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I don't know why it is looking for a MDF file as this was never in the Backup folder. Can someone please help me on this? I thought I was doing the right thing making a backup all along and now I can't restore it!

Hi I am operating my databases under "trunc log on checkpoint" mode as I do not need point of failure recoverability.I was performing a recovery test using a backup which resulted in it being unsuccessful .Error Message received was
"Recovery has failed because a nonlogged operation could not be redone.Use the RESTORE statement to restore all data in filegroup PRIMARY to a pt beyond the nonlogged changes"
Isnt sql*server supposed to prevent a non-logged operation while a backup is in progress?Also how do i prevent such a situation from recurring.
If i switch to single user mode before a backup how do i prevent exisiting users from accessing ... without bouncing my sql*server?

EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'NetworkDevice', 'cabaanpubs.bak'
then
BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO NetworkDevice
it gives me an error saying
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'NetworkDevice'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
I don't really understand what's goin.
basically i need to synchronize my production database so what am i planning is to take a full backup on that server everynight and then restore it back.
Can some one guide me to take a backup as well as restore on the remoteserver with syntax and what does it mean to add a device...i could not understand.
Is there any other process that's much faster to implement.
i appriciate your support and help .

Whenever I restore a backup on sqlserver 7.0 and create a new database from it, I always end up having problems with the users existing in the backup.
To enable those users to have access, I end up creating logins with those names and when I try granting those users Database access, I get the error message that the user already exists in the database.
Could some one tell me the right way to restore the backup and having all the users of the database also restored in the proper manner.

I have following questions if anybody could help
1]How do I restore a single table backup from the tape backup without restoring the full database first on the disk & then running import/export

Now, we need the SMS server back again. We installed the NT server, SMS server snd SQL server on that machine. The problem is, we now want the SQL server to recognize our SMS database (SMS.db file).

Hi All,
I've been working developing database on my PC @ work, and sadly enough would like to spend some time on it at home. To these ends I backed up the database at work where it restored fine. However have tried to restore the file at home and am getting an error saying the operating system cannot access the file. Is this something to do with NTFS permissions?
Thanks in advance

hi,
I want to know if there is a way - other than backup and restore database (because restore takes too much time as the DB size grows) - to transfer all the data from one database on the server to another on a local SQLServer. it has to be done daily, so that the manager will always have an updated copy of the data on his machine.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
