Restoring Differential Backups

Feb 14, 2002

I am trying to set up a process where a differential backup is taken daily and applied to another DB. For some reason I cannot get the diff backup to restore. The full DB backup restored fine.

Server: Msg 3136, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot apply the differential backup on device 'diff' to database 'test'.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Error With Restoring Backups

Nov 1, 2006

I recieved 4 database's that were backed up from our client. They are using SQL Server 2000 and each of the files has no extension.

When attempting to restore a database of the same name in SQL Server Express 2k5 I recieve the following error.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided

Is there a way to restore the backup without the log backup?

Thank you

Error Restoring Database With Diff & Inc Backups

Sep 10, 2007

I backup a database at the begining of each month with a full and then do nightly diffs on it.

For the same database I run daily fulls and 10 minute log backups.

these two backups create / append to two different backup files.

The problem im having is that I cant restore the Differential backup set. SQL seems to restore the full just fine but alwasy throws an error when its about to start to retore the last diff. now forgive me but I clicked OK on the message and I cant find any record of the error in the logs but its something like:

"SQL cannot restore the database as the database has not been restored to the previous correct state"

is my 10 min TS log backups screwing up the DIff chain somehow?

this is really doing my head in. any help appreciated.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring DBs From Files Not Backups?

Dec 1, 2014

Until yesterday I had a server running SQL Server 2008 R2 - with all the SQL Server DB files on an attached disk array.

The server died - so I attached the disk array to a new server - and all the DB data files are visible there.

I installed SQL Server 2014 on the new server and am trying to work out how to point it at the existing database files.

I also have backups of the DB's - but they will take ages to copy over and restore - so it would be much easier to just use the db files. Should I restore the master db first (easy as its small)?

Restoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups

Mar 30, 2007

We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?

When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.

These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.

The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?

SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Device Creating Backups With A New Transaction Log For Each Day

Jun 19, 2015

Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.

DB Engine :: Will Transaction Log Backups Not Free Up Log During Full Backups

Nov 15, 2015

The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?

Restoring Database Leaves Me With (Restoring...) Message

Jan 9, 2007

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?

Any suggestions?

SQL 7 Backups

Mar 15, 2002

What backups options do you have if you do not have a tape drive connected to your SQL 7.0 Server ? Can you run a SQL Maintenance Plan and backup the databases to a remote server. If not, can ARCServe 2000 backup the SQL backups to another server with a tape drive ?

I've set up several backups in the past using the backup screen. I've also set up a Maintenance Plan to back up my database using MyDbName* where the * is the familiar suffix automatically generated by the system when the backup runs every night.

The trouble is that, even though I've deleted old maintenance plans and scheduled backups, they're not going away. Every morning, I see new nightly backups of old backups etc., in the backup folder. Furthermore, the maintenance plan I want to backup my database isn't creating a backup file.

How can I make the old backups stop running, and make sure the new backup runs? I've gone through everything and can't seem to find any residue of these old scheduled backups--yet they still run! Can anyone help?

We are having problems with our tape drives so we are attempting to back up our databases to disk. I have a whole server on the network I could use for this. When I use the backup that comes with SQL 7.0 it won't allow me to choose a network drive. It looks like it must be a local drive. Is there a way around this so I could back it up to this other server. I jave 32 gig available on the server which would be plenty. We don't have enough disk space on the local drives to back it up. We have been having problems with our current tape drive company Exabyte. Does anyone have any recommendations. We are thinking of switching to another company.

SQL 7.0 Backups ?

Dec 13, 2000

I currenntly backup several databases to thier own unique device. Each backup is executed as a full backup (databases are small)and they are set to expire after 7 days. I checked my devices after 7 days and they continue to grow in size - is this right? I expected the device size to hold constant once I had a rolling seven days of backup (The databases don't change in size from day to day) Any ideas?

I am trying to make sure I have my backups scheduled correctly and in the correct spot. We have a tape drive on the server which is backing up the databases each night. The logs I have them currently being backp up once an hour to disk. My question is would it better to have the logs back up to the tape drive or to disk. The server where I'm backing up the logs to has 2 drive C and D. Where D contains the data and C contains the application/program files. I'm assuming I wouldn't want it on D since if there was a crash with that drive and we lost the data we wouldn't be able to get the logs for that day so it would be better to put it on C. What are most people doing to backup there logs. At the end of the day after a full backup I clear the device that contains the log backups. It this good practice?

How do you backup to a remote drive?
The book says that inorder to backup to a remote drive, you need to log on with a domain NT account with administrative privileges.
I am unable to log on with a domain account and backup to a mapped drive.

For example, S1 and S2 are two servers in the domain D1. The NT domain administrative account is A1. I need to backup a database D1 on S1 to a location on S2. For this I do the following.
On S1,
sp_addumpdevice 'disk','dump_dev','s2sharenamefilename.bak'
On executing, I get,

(1 row(s) affected)
'Disk' device added.

Then when run the command,
backup database D1to dump_dev
I get the following error,

Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'dump_dev'. 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.

The event log shows the following error message:

BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 's2sharenamefilename.bak' failed to create. Operating system error = 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).

Please let me know how to back up to a mapped drive using TSQL and Enterprise Manager.

Thank you.

I have a SQL2K/SP3 database with an MDF of 4GB and an LDF of .5GB. If I do a backup using Enterprise Manager, whether manually or via a DB Maintenance Plan, I get a .BAK of approx. 2GB. If I do a backup using:
USE master
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'RAMScopyBAK', 'F:MSSQLBACKUPRAMScopyRAMScopy.BAK'
GO

BACKUP DATABASE RAMScopy TO RAMScopyBAK
GO

I get a .BAK of 24GB !!!

In the end I want a T-SQL step to be part of a SQA job that will back up the database, thus the use of the dumpdevice command. I could create a maintenance plan, disable the jobs it creates, and then start them via sp_start_job, but this is just an example of a systemic problem; i.e. I'd have to do individual maintenance plans for more than one database.

Help?

Thanks,

Al

For a lot of smaller/medium sized systems that I administer, I tend to use SQL Server to backup to a backup device and then let the normal system backups backup the dump files to tape.

However, I am taking on a new system with approx 900Gb of data. We dont want to buy another 900Gb of disk to secure the databases ! I have found the SQL Agents in Arcserve 2000 to be unreliable to say the least. (we dont want to stop the SQL Services either)

Would anyone recommend alternative software to backup large databases.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I'm pretty new to SQL Server. I have a ? regarding backups.

I have a database which I'm backing up everyday using BACKUP DATABASE db TO db_bak WITH INIT. This job runs everyday successfully, but I'm having an evergrowing transaction log file. I presumed a full database backup will apply transaction logs and will truncate the log files. Isnt it so, or am i missing some concepts? This database can have a data loss of 1 day which is covered by my full database backup job. I dont need a transaction log backup. But to reduce log file size should I do a log backup?

-Sunil.
