Sql Server 2005 Backup

Mar 15, 2007

I have ctreated a maintenance plan to backup a database daily.
The option is set to overwrite.

1)
How is it possible to allow for say four days of backup files to remain but any older backups to be deleted. At present I only get one file which gets overwritten every day.

2)
What does the Append database option do? I know that it increases the backup file size on every backup. Not sure what that does to the file internally. i.e. why doe the file size increase even if there has not been any activity on the database on that day?

Thanks

I have only one tape drive.
My server is using the SQL server 2005 backup tool and arcserve backup tool to backup different files .

Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use SQL server 2005 backup tool.

Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use arcserve backup tool.

It seems that the tape device resource is held by softwares even the tape drive is not in use.

What should I do to make the tape drive shared by different softwares?

Backup SQL Server 2005

Jun 4, 2007

Hi,

I created a job to backup my database. Sometimes I get the following error:
The job failed. Unable to determine if the owner (DOMAINAdministrator) of job Backup.Subplan_1 has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DOMAINAdministrator'<c/> error code 0x54b. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 15404))

I already deleted the job and made it again. Same problem. I don't get that error every day. For example: I got it 4 times last month.

Does anybody know what I can do to resolve the error?

Sep 13, 2007

Problems with Database Backup.

Want to backup the transactoin log, but I have the failure:

The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4208) BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.

I set the recovery model to FULL, that worked fine for about six hours. After same failure again. And the recovry model was SIMPLE.
Found this in the Eventlog:

Setting database option RECOVERY to SIMPLE for database

So what can I do? Thanks for your ansers!

Backup Of Remote SQL 2005 Server

Jun 26, 2007

Hello Friends:

My problem relates to backing up my MS SQL 2005 database which is sitting on a shared server at a hosting company.

OVERVIEW:
- Hosting company is using MS SQL 2005
- I am using the SQL Server Management Studio that comes with SQL Server 2005 Standard (NOT Express), which is installed on MY PC.
- So, I am connecting to the SQL server over the internet


WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:
- I would like to backup the data sitting on the Hosting company's MS SQL Server. I only have one database on this SQL Server. There are of course 100s of other databases on the same server which belong to other customers of the hosting company.

- I want to bring the backup to MY PC, from the SQL Server.

- As far as I can tell the following options within SQL Server Management Studio may be of help to me. I do not know which one I should use or which one is best or what is the proper method. 1) Select Backup option from the Tasks menu (but it only shows me drives/devices on the Hosting SQL Server, not my PC, so I can’t backup to my PC) 2) Export Data (it does not work, showing errors ‘…not a trusted connection…’ I have no clue what a trusted connection is. 3) Copy Database (which is supposed to copy the remote database on the Hosting company SQL server, to my local SQL Server running on my PC). I go through the wizard, on the last screen it just hangs i.e. shows- not responding)


MY QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY:
How do I backup the database sitting on the hosting company SQL server? I of course need to bring the backup to my PC.

SQL Server 2005 TR With IU/QUS - Restore From A Backup

Feb 22, 2007

Hello,

SQL Server 2005 TR with IU/QUS - Restore from a backup

Im trying to set-up the above using sp1. It all works fine until the final step, creating a subscription through sp_addarticle and Im getting the following error:

Msg 8152, Level 16, State 10, Procedure sp_MSget_synctran_commands, Line 198
String or binary data would be truncated.

This worked fine on my laptop with a small table with a couple of columns.Now Ive looked at this error and its like

select * from #art_commands

The table only has 49 columns in it, so its not huge.

What are my options for solving/getting around this problem:

1. Try and fix sp_MSget_synctran_commands, from memory, #art_commands has a nvarchar(max) column and Im wondering if this is related. must admit, havent really looked solidly at this sp yet.

2. SP2 doesnt look like it fixes this problem.

3. Create a bespoke method to replicate.

4. anymore for anymore?

It will be impossible to synchronize the databases so this restore from backup was my only option. Im a bit stuck now, can anyone help?

many thanks,

John P

SQL Server 2005 For TFS Backup&&amp;Restore

Oct 31, 2006



Hi, Our Sharepoint of TFS was down a couple of days ago. By luck, we had fully backed up SQL database. Now, the problem is, I uninstalled everything and tried to move TFS to a new server machine on the domain. I installed freshly everything and tried to restore all the databases (with tables also). Now the problems are these:

1 - Since there are lots of different backup-restore procedures telling on the Internet from some forums and this forum also: What should i do basically to make the configuration of Sharepoint and Reporting Services to make them work correctly?

2 - Secondly, even if i fail in the problem above, I, at least, want to save the source control files and sharepoint files. Where can I find them and how can I take them back to my new TFS installation?

3 - If these problems exist and Suppose on a new project on the new installation, i create new WI's, documents (with new Version Control information), and new SPS configuration. And on a new release,the problems are resolved. Is there some way that I can merge the former Backup with the new installation's database?

Restore Backup From SQL Server 2000 In SQL Server 2005?

Jan 29, 2008

I was running Small Business Server 2003 with MS SQL Server 2000. I put backups of all my SQL Server 2000 databases on hard disk d: and the operating system and applications on c:/. I then reformatted c:/ (but left d:/ intact) and installed Windows XP Home. Then I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition.

I would like to now restore the backups of the SQL Server 2000 databases (still intact on drive d:/) to SQL Server 2005, but I get a variety of error messages.

I suspect that I am going about this the wrong way. I have done several hours of research in the documentation without success. I cannot attach the SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 because it is a backup, not a database. I cannot migrate the databases as part of the installation of SQL Server 2005 because (a) they are back-ups, and (b) I don't have SQL Server 2000 installed when I install SQL Server 2005.

Is there a solution?

TIA

SQL Server 2005 - Backup For Development Machine

Jul 23, 2007

Hi,
I need help finding a good back up solution for SQL Server 2005.  I am hosting several databases in a shared environment and do not have admin rights to detach & copy & reattach the database file.  I can have the hoster back up the file, but that is a manual process and I have had other issues with it in the past (access rights, cost, etc.).  I have also tried creating a new business intelligence project, but have found it difficult to do a complete exact copy (while maintaining primary key values) as I run into many concurrency violations.  This is especially true in databases that use the standard asp.net membership services tables.
Is there a way to get an exact duplicate of the structure & data of a sql server 2005 database without having to create a new Business Intelligence Project?  Or is there an easy way to do this within BI that doesn't require a table-by-table setup?  The primary purpose of this backup for me is for use on my development machine.  Backup for data security/recovery is handled by the ISP.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Importing DB Backup File To SQL Server 2005

Mar 14, 2007

Hi all,

I'm using shared sql space on a new provider and am trying to import a database backup file - of the format filename.db.

I cannot figure out how to import this file type using the 2005 express tools - I can connect to the database and create and drop tables alright, but I cannot just import the existing database.

I really haven't got the time on my connection to download the fully blown SQL server trial to be able to do this, so can anyone help me out with any easier solutions?
