Access is denied.
this is my job:
USE [msdb]
GO
/****** Object: Job [Test] Script Date: 02/04/2015 13:08:00 ******/
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE @ReturnCode INT
SELECT @ReturnCode = 0

I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €œbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [BPROJCT] TO DISK = N'F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'BPROJCT_backup_20071128170005', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "Write on "F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak" failed: 112(There is not enough space on the disk.)
This is the error from the robocopy log
New File 0 BPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
2007/11/20 17:02:11 ERROR 32 (0x00000020) Copying File F:ackupBPROJCTBPROJCT_backup_200711201700.bak
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying...
Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this
robocopy
"F:ackup" "\sefwg-sqlbackackupACON" *.* /MIR /TBD /MON:1 /MOT:5 /LOG+:"F:ackupackup.log" /NP
Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task.
Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from www.pcamerica.com
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often - the last one is dated January 5, 2015.
I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.

I am in the process of creating a VM server which serves as a backup for a production SQL server. the SQL server has SQL directory installed on C: and F: partitions. Sql installation files reside on C: while MSSQL directory (include backup, logs, data, etc.. ) reside on F:. The VM was created by cloning of the original (production) server but only C: partition. I need to use robocopy to copy the MSSQL directory from original sql (F:) server to the VM (F:). My questions are:
1. will doing it this way mess up database integrity on the VM?
2. What should I check to ensure installed filed registered to the new VM server instead of the original sql server?
3. what switches of robocopy should be used to produce exact copy of the MSSQL folder from original server to the VM
4. the current database is about 1GB, how long the robocopy may take?
If you have experienced this before, please share your thoughts, suggestions, ideas. Very much appreciate your feedback.
Thank you

Hi!
I did:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate;
exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got
>>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success.
I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.
How to find out, which process locks the files?
Best regards

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).

I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so
2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)

I copied a database using backup and restore from Sql server 2000 to Sql server 2005. I noticed the data(mdf) and log(ldf) files did not copy. when I try to do a copy and past it gives me an error: cannot copy lof: it is being used by another person or program. Close all programs and try again. Does this mean I have to stop both servers to copy between them? Please help.

I have been looking for a way to copy only new flat files from an FTP server. I can find how to copy all of the files into another directory, but I only want to copy in files that are not already in my target directory.
So, is there a way to compare the files in the FTP directory to a list of files in a SQL table and use this to control the transfer, and how do I get those FTP file names into a SQL table? Or is there some other way?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Howdy, hope someone can help me out with this.I want to run a job each night that copies files from one server to another.I cant even get a simple copy one file from one directory to another,statement to work.When I try :@cmd 'copy c: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt'master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmdI get the msg: 'c' is not recognised as an internal command, program orbatch file, Null.What I ideally want to do is pass xp_cmdshell variables for the 2 file'spath+names. I have tried numerous variations of single and double quoteswithout success, which is why I decided to work up form the simple 'copyc: empfile1.txt c:ackupsfile1.txt', but can't even get that to work.Any advice much appreciated.

hi , I am trying to copy files dynamically from a remot folder by using File System task ,
the files are going to be generated daily with f1yyyy-mm-dd.txt
I created 3 file connections :
- Existing remote folder (RemotFolder) and set that to var v_remotefolder
- Existing destination folder (DestFolder)
- existing file (filename) and set the expression to var (string ) =v_fname
in the File System task I set the the
Destination connection = DestFolder
Operation =Copy file
Source = filename
expression >>Property (source) = @[User::v_remotefolder] + @[User::v_fname]
I know I need the date too ,but I 'm getting error on this step.
Can you please tell me if you know how to resolve this without using For each loop since I don't have control on the remote folder and I don't want to copy unneeded files (the files are 10 GB daily) and get delete it once every month.
-I know this not uncommon task but I can't find any example.
Thanks

I connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.
To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,
G:
Cd winnt
Cd system32
Cd config
Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt
Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt
Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :
C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat
When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date.
The output is,
1 file(s) copied
1 file(s) copied
But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.
Please let me know why this happens.
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to SQL, waiting on a course on how to use it, but wanting to get stuck it.
I was wondering how I can get SQL to copy a file, say in Access, from one location to another.
This would be part of my job with delivering data extracts users.
Many thanks in advance

I was wondering if there is a way to copy files from a network to an ip site where you would need to log in at. What I am trying to do is make a SP that would take all .csv files from the network drive and place them in the other ip address folder however you would need to use the login information.

I have a situation from where I need to loop through different folders and files in these folders. After processing these files, I need to archive these folders to different location.
e.g., C:MainFolderMar01 ==> Multiple files in Mar01 folder
C:MainFolderMar02 ==> Multiple files in Mar02 folder
Does any one know the best way to do this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How do I copy files from several subdirectories into the same directory? I have about 80 subdirectories of a parent directory from which I want to copy the files and place the copies into the same, flat destination directory. I tried using the copy file and copy directory file system tasks, but this always seems to recreate the subdirectory structure under the destination directory.
How can I get around this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce.

In SSIS, I was to:
take files from c:directory1
copy them to cirectory2 with a different name (concatenated date on the end)
delete them from c:directory1
Should I be using the Script Task for this? I am wondering if I should be using the File System Task which copies directories or files, but I don't know if I could rename the files during the copy.
Also, I want the directory names to be in the configuration file. I am not sure how to do this. If I set up a flat file source connection, I need to specify a file name and I just want the directory names. How do I get them in the config file and how to I read them into my script from the config file?

This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem.
I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off.
So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible to use SSIS to perform the file copies from one remote server to another? If so, is the FTP task required, or can File System tasks be used?
An alternative would be Windows scripting, xcopy, robocopy, etc. but I like the features of SSIS and would like to take advantage of it's flow control, error handling, database scheduling, etc.
Any tips, sample code, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks,
david

I am looking to implement a system whereby a given user can 'authorise' changes to the system itself and promote from test to live.
For instance a user might be running an application which has a SQL 2005 database DataA opena nd runnign stored procedures from that. I'd like a Stored procedure in that able to copy over a given stored procedure from a different database - DataB and copy into DataA. Is that possible?
Also is it possible from T-SQL to copy files on the servers underlying filesystem? Ie to copy some .aspx files from one location to another.
Regards
Clive

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.

Hi All
One of the step in sql agent job is to execute the SSIS package to copy files from remote shared location to local server where sql server is installed. The account on which SQL agent runs as has access to remote shared location. However SSIS package always fails with following error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\sharedlocationBCKTST105092008.csv' is denied.".
We have tried using proxies but same issue come with proxy also.
When using proxy, we created a proxy for a user who has access on that shared folder on Windows server(from which files are to be copied). If we login to SSIS server with the above user and execute SSIS package manually it works fine. However if we login with different user and run the job via SQL agent using proxy of the above user, then job fails throwing same above mentioned error
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
