I am trying to create a job using power-shell script to move the backup files from one folder to another. I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups. Ola hallengren created a common backup folder with sub-folders for databases and even more sub folders for Full and Log backups. My goal is to move full backups, which are older than a month and save them in a different drive along with the same folder structure. I was able to move the first set of backups without any problem, but I can't move anymore files and keep getting this error even when I try to overwrite the previous file with the force statement:
Move-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
I'm looking to schedule a maintenance plan for my databases which I have done.I'd like this database to be copied to another folder and the name altered to include the file name and the current date time stamp.Is this possible in the scheduled maintenance plan?
I using sqlserver 6.5 and I am trying to schedule a backup and I get this error message, how can I resolve this? This is the error message I am getting:
"The SQLExecutive service is not currently running on this server. This prevents task backup-master from being run."
SQL server 2005 is installed but can not schedule a backup job. In the maintenance plan when selecting a new maintenance plan or maintenance plan wizard an error is produced which is: 'Agent XPs' component is turned off as part of the security configuration for this server. I can see that the SQL Server Agent (Agent XPs is disabled). When trying to start this by right clicking on it in object explorer, the error message is 'unable to start service SQLAgent$SQL2005 on server serverName'. Service Logon failure
On my server running SQL7.0 with SP2, I try to backup my database to a file. All works well if I run the backup manually, but when I use the schedule option, when I close the Backup properties window and open the window again, the schedule is gone... Does anyone of you know how to get this working?
I created a backup device and then scheduled a recurring backup of one of my SQL databases for SMS. I right-clicked on the database name and chose All Tasks | Backup and set a daily schedule.
Now I want to delete the whole thing and use Database Maintenance Plans instead. The backup device never showed up in Management | Backup so I deleted the backup files (and devices?) from NT Explorer. The backups still occur, I'm guessing, because I never deleted the Schedule. How do I get these backups to stop?
P.S. Forgive me if this is an elementary questions -- I am new to SQL.
Can someone tell me how to move the log file for a database from one drive to anoyher. I want to keep the data on one drive and the logs on another so I need to move the log files to another drive. Thanx, Kelly
Without restoring the database, has anyone written a slick little piece of code that moves a file existing on on filegroup to another newly created filegroup without doing it from a restore.
The purpose of doing this is to get rid of one data file and placing the data into the data file we are retaining. We have some more physical file space and are moving data into one data file and one transaction log file.
We have already ran the DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMPTYFILE to move the data, We have already ran the ALTER DATABASE statement but here, because the filegroup is identified as PRIMARY in the sysfilegroup table, we can not REMOVE the data file because of indexes relating to the PRIMARY filegroup.
So if I could ALTER DATABASE and create a bogus filegroup and move the data file which I want to get rid of into the bogus filegroup, I could ALTER DATABASE with REMOVE filegroup and solve the situation.
Does anyone know of an easier way to do it other than BACKUP database and RESTORE database.....please help!!!
I am setting up a backup on one of my DB's and the network drive does not appear as an location that I can backup too. Only the C drive is present. However, on the server I do have a drive mapped to the network drive, so it should be available. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
I am trying to schedule a daily task to restore the latest backup from a BackupDevice that contains multiple backups. The command to restore is "Load DBName from BackupDevice". Does anyone know how to restore the most current backup from the Backup device?

I am looping a set of .txt files in a folder using foreach.
Inside foreach, I have a Dataflow task that does the transformation. After that i have added a File System that moves file to archive.
However, If the user puts any other file instead of a .txt file, i want to move the file to Error folder and this should be before the DataFlow starts within foreach.
How can i do this? I want to use script to read the file extension and then move it to the error.
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
Hi, Is there any method that I can use to backup the whole database to another database without using replication? I have to backup it every half year. Can I do something like setting schedule to run to "Database Backup" module in sql server?
I created a few databases but I forgot to change the location from c:program filesd1.mdf.I don't have much space left on c: drive but have lot of space left on e:
How do I move the data and log files to e: drive ?
Can someone lend some assistance in this? It sounds like it should beable to be done.We have a large replicated database in SQL 2000. We need to move themdf and ldf files to a location on another drive.Will doing this affect or break replication in any way? Is there anyway to prevent this?Thanks in advance.Glenn DekhayserVoyant Strategies
I'm trying to find some way to implement a move file task in my Data Flow. I parse through a flat file, retrieve a value, then I'm using a lookup table to check if that value exists in a table... if the value doesnt exist, I need to move this file to a new directory and insert the value into a different table. Does anyone have any ideas about how to move the file while using the Data Flow pane?
Or is there some way to pass information from the look up table to the Control flow pane and use the Move File Task there? I'm trying to stay away from a Script task or a Script component unless it's unavoidable. I appreciate any ideas!
I could really use some help on this one. I know virtually nothing about SQL Server. We installed this because our database for the application we're running (Lexis Nexis Time Matters) had gotten too large for the Express 2005 version. We've also installed a new version of the software, and on a new server.
The new server has the drive partitioned into two partitions. When installing the application, I selected drive D (545 gb) as the data drive, but when I installed SQL server, it was installed on drive C (12 gb). I did not realize that the the application data was simply configuration information, and the data for the program is actually being installed on the C drive (Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData).
Is there a simple procedure to move this data, including the SQL instance (TIMEMATTERS) to the D drive? Or should I uninstall and start over?
Hello guys and girls. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have specified that the databases should be created on the K: drive. This is okay but now I need to move all the transaction log files (.ldf) to the L: drive. I have already changed the default location for the log files to point to the L: drive and the new databases that were created after the installation have their transaction log file correctly in the L: drive but now I need to move transaction log files for the master, model, temp ... databases. How can this be done? And are there any gotchas?
