Backing Up A Database In SQL 7.0
When backing up a database in MS SQL 7.0, there is a window that appears in the destination section of the backup window. In this window is where the filename appears that the backup will proceed to and to the right of this window are "add", "remove" and "contents" buttons. If there are multiple names in this window, will the entire backup go to both files or does it split the backup between the two filenames.

Backing Up Read-only Database
I am using log shipping. I want to be able to backup the secondaryread-only database. The data has to travel over a t1, and due to thesize of the databases, it saturates the network. Our tape backup systemresides at the secondary location (our offices), and we want to backupthe fulls to tape, so we either copy the fulls over the wire, or backupthe secondary databases, directly to the tape backup share on the localnet.Is there a way to backup read-only databases? Can you backup databasesthat have been restored "with recovery" instead of "with standby"?. Ican't find documentation about this online, or in the books.Thanks,TGru*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Backing Up A Database From MS SQL 2000 Server
My client is changing hosting providers. We are trying to download a full backup of our MS SQL 2000 database from the old host. We can get all of the data using the Data transfer wizard in Enterprise manager. We can get all data and structure using the Data Transfer wizard with other options. However, when we do this, all of our tables get renamed with a prefix that is our username from the old host. So, if we have a table named customers and our MSSQL login on the old host is userA, then our table gets renamed to tableA.customers. This won't work with our applications and stored procedures. Changing tens of thousands of lines of code is not acceptable. Does anyone know a way we can get a full copy of the database (rules, data, structure, keys, identies, etc) without having the username prefix? Thanks for the help! -DAGTA

Problems Backing Up SQL Express Database...
Hello, I found some code below that works fine when I run it in my vb.net code in Design mode.

Backing Up The SQL Server 2000 Database Using Tape Drives
Dear sir/madam, I am from NTU, Singapore and we have a windows 2003 server edition installed on a DELL server and it also runs MS SQL server 2000 for a project of ours. We have installed a HP tape drive on the dell server and it works fine if ntbackup is used at the command prompt but then the SQL enterprise manager does not recognize the tape drive and backing up of our database is of high priority as it contains sensitive information. But the tape drive is installed properly as the device manager does not show any error and ntbackup also recognizes it. I cant seem to figure out why SQL server 2000 cannot recognize it. It would be very helpful if you could kindly guide me on this issue. Thanking you Regards Lavanya Janardhanan

Change In Database User Perms When Copying Database
How to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database. I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility. Is there a better way of doing this ?

Copying A Database
Hello,I'm trying to make a copy of a database with this code Code Snippet private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string dbname = @"D:Documents and SettingsBeheerderMijn documentenVisual Studio 2005ProjectsTest12Test12inDebugDatabase1.mdf"; string constr = string.Format("Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename="{0}";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True", dbname); using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(constr)) { connection.Open(); connection.Close(); } File.Copy("Database1.mdf", "Database1Copy.mdf"); } but once the code tries to execute the File.Copy line it comes with an error that the database is currently in use by another program, and also when I'm debugging the program and I try to copy this database with windows explorer it says that the program is currently in use.I've read up some stuff and found that you can stop the SQLServer Service, wich I did but then my program gave an error about not being able to connect to the database, when starting upand also detaching and attaching a database, wich I don't know how to do.So my question is are any of these above methods correct to do, and how do write the code for it?

Copying One Database To Another
Hi all, New member here... I've used SQL2000 before (Enterprise Mgr, Query Analyzer), but, now I'm at a company without any DBAs so I'm on my own as far as administration goes which I haven't done before on SQL2000. We have a production database about 100MB in size. As of now there is no development DB. They won't pay for a new server, so I'd like to create a new development database on the same prod server. Then, I want to copy the existing prod database into the new dev DB. I've read up some on DTS, but I wanted to check with the community to see if anyone had other recommendations or if this is the best way to go about it. Also, is this a process that should run at off-hours? Would the copy of production lock the DB up? Thanks a lot...

Can anyone tell me what the best way to copy the database up to my server? Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone know how to copy a database from one server to another? I want to backup a production database and restore it to a different server (a test server) as a test. I used a sample from the MCDBA study book and all I got was two copies of Northwind on the same server. Any idea what I did wrong? Seems like you should be able to backup on one server and restore on another. Here's the code I used: BACKUP DATABASE Northwind TO DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak' RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak' RESTORE DATABASE Northwind2 FROM DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak' WITH MOVE 'Northwind' TO 'Sd-sqlmssql7DataNorthwind.mdf', MOVE 'NorthwindLog1' TO 'Sd-sqlmssql7DataNorthwindLog1.ldf' GO Thanks for your help.
