Hello,
My master database (MS SQL 2005) has simple recovery model, however, when performing diff backup of "all databases", I am getting the following error:
Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [master] TO DISK = N'X:\Database Backups\diff backups\master\master_backup_200803251235.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'master_backup_20080325123514', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database.
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I choose to back up only "All user databases", then it performs just fine. Why I cannot run diff backup of master?
I have an application written with Visual Basic Express 2008, which has a Sql Server Express Compact database incorporated into the application. I've been trying to follow the suggestions listed on several threads on how to backup up my database and have not gotten very far. The following code seems to be in most threads.
Dim dbstring = "Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;User Instance=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ImmuLogDataBase.sdf"
Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbstring)
sqlconn.Open()
When run, this code returns the following error at the sqlconn.Open() command.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file G:ImmuLogImmuLoginDebugImmuLogDataBase.sdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
My solution is saved on a flash drive which I take between home and work. I'm hoping that that isn't the issue. I believe that Visual Basic loads the database when it starts and it is already open when this code is run. Is there a way to access this open database and run a backup procedure on it from within VB express 2008?
I'm new to this and self taught so explain everything in detail. Thanks for your help.

My Database has many Dead lock issues,Will this Dead locks cause Differential database failure ?.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have made my website using SQL Server Express edition. It is totally database driven and manypages use databases to display data. My problem is that after paying for webhosting fees my web host told me that they do not support SQL Server express edition. Instead they have support for MySQL and Ms Access. Except that there is this MS 2000 Database service for an additional cost. Any recommendations what I should do except changing the host? If I pay for MS 2000 Database servicem, will my website work? My user management(i.e ASPNETDB database) was created by Visual Web developer and I don't want to do user management myself. Any advice?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDear all
I am pretty new to the database administration and was wondering if i could get some advice here so i have a head start.
Unfortunalety i have came to the conclusion the hard way that the SQL Agent on Ms SQL 2000 doesnt work properly when it comes to database backups. I discovered that the backups it creates and it claims that are performed succesfully do not work.
So i was wondering what would be the proper way to go in creating a backup of a highly critical database. The database is in MS SQL 2000. I am not required to have the application roll over to the backed up data in case the main one crashes. But it is absolutely necessary to be able to restore the databse to a most recent working copy. So i guess performing a backup once a day would do. Loosing data from a day would not be such a big deal since i have other ways of restoring that days data, as long as i have the full database up to the previous day.
I was looking at database mirroring but that is not available with sql 2000.
Also i though of as a possibility to run a replication on the SQL 2000 database and replicate to SQL 2005 database which aparently has got the SQL agent working properly.And then run the agent on the SQL 2005 database which would backup the copy daily?
Any advice is apreciate and if there are any white papers or books i could look at that would be great.
Cheers
I have sqlexpress 2005 on my local machine - but my hoster has sql 2000 - so i used the DB publishing wizard to create the script and sent it over to them - they are now saying that they need a .bak file in 2000 to host my database - is this a bunch of horse hockey or not?
if this is legit - any ideas on how I can create a .bak 2000 sql from sqlexpress 2005?
many thanks
I know it's not possible to backup a database in SQL2005, and restore to 2000. But, I've been asked if there are any 3rd party tools which can do this - such as SQL Litespeed - but I can't see anything regarding this on their website.
Does anyone know if litespeed or Redgate SQL Backup can restore to 2000 from 2005 ?
Thanks in advance,
I want to read certain data from the backup file of MS SQL 2000 without restoring the database backup file. Based on the data selected I will manage the further functionality such as restoration of the backup file.
Is it possible to read some data from MS SQL 2000 backup file without restoring? If yes then please let me know how?

Help,I have a database that has a data file of 2GB and a log file of 31GB.In enterprise manager, when I choose shrink it says there is 30GB ofunused space. When I shrink the database, it does not shrink,(however it says it has completed).I've done a complete backup, tried shrink again, no dice. I thenbacked up the database (which the backup was 1.9GB), deleted thedatabase and made a new database with 2,048MB for the data and samefor the log file.When I restore, the log file jumps up to 31GB again. When I check thespace when I use the shrink, it again says I have 30GB of unusedspace.How on earth do I get this file to shrink?I've been able to shrink other databases, but not this one.TIARob
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to see the differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach. I backup and detach a database from SQL Server 2000 SP3 and then attach and restore it to SQL Server 2005 SP1.
The differences I noticed are:
1. The restored database has a much larger initial size (database size is same) for data and log.
2. The attached database has a last backup date
3. If the backup is restored over a database, the restored database is showing owned by the database owner of the database restored over but syslogins and sysusers do not match.
I don't understand why #1 happens.
Are there any other differences between Backup/Restore and Attach/Detach?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am attempting to restore the database from within VB.NET application I am making the following 3 calls:
RESTORE FileListOnly FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'
USE Master RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat' WITH NORECOVERY, MOVE 'MyDatabase' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataMyDatabase.mdf', MOVE 'MyDatabase_log' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataLDFMyDatabase.ldf', REPLACE
RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = 'C:MyDatabase.dat'
using SMO. This logic works fine with small *.dat files, however when using *.dat file of about 4Gb I get an error on the 3d restore database call:
ExecuteNonQuery failed for Database 'master'.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Operator aborted backup or restore. See the error messages returned to the console for more details.

The same program/logic also works fine when I use MS SQL 2005 and it runs fine from MS SQL 2005 Query Analyzer for both 2005 and 2000 databases. There seem to be only problem with MS SQL 2000 from within VB.NET. Anybody has any idea? I'd appreciate any response. Thanks

My backup plan is as follows (SQL2K5)
Weekly full
Daily diff
Hourly log
Hourly log fails daily at particular time with following error -
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
It works , once I kick off a FULL backup.
I feel there is some activity which disqualifies the log sequence. Any thoughts?

I have created a Maintenance plan using Wizard, In this plan I am doing full backup of 12 DBs to share drive, I created only one step as full backup. And Scheduled this at 7 pm everyday, the
following is the error I am getting in the Logfile, can some one please through some light on this.

SQL Server Instance and SQL Agent are running under domain admin account, Share Drive folder has full control by domain admin.
I am the local admin on the SQL Server box, and I have read, write and delete, create permissions on the share drive for backups folder.
What must be the issue?

I seem to have a problem with my SQL Server log backup system. First I was receiving alerts that the log file was filling up, so I increased it from 3Mb to 150Mb, but then I got another alert saying the same thing, later on I got an alert saying that the log backup had failed. I then decided to truncate the log and do a full backup after as suggested, however this did not work, I don't know if I am doing something wrong, this is really confusing and frustrating.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have scheduled transaction log backups to occur every 15 minutes with database backups every sunday at 1.00AM and differential db backups every day at 1.30AM.
While viewing the job history of the transaction log backups through enterprise manager, I noticed that one transaction log backup had failed at 1.00AM on sunday. The error message was,
"Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3023) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed. "
Please let me know what the error message implies. Will there be any problem if the transaction log backup takes place at the same time as the full database backup or diff. db backup?
Thankyou.

Help! I am getting a Job failure for a DB Backup Job when I open up the

When I check the SQL Logs, there is no Error message, nor is there an error message in the DB Maintenance Plan History. I checked the Server to make sure the DB was being backed up, and the current file is there. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks! (make me look good to the rest of my group!)

View 2 Replies View RelatedGreetings,I am seeking information related to this subject.BOL suggests backing up the active transaction log immediately after afailure, so that the backup can be used in a recovery scenario if necessary.This is the relevant text from BOL "Transaction Log Backup":----//The transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. contains transaction logrecords from 4:00 P.M. through 8:00 P.M., spanning the time when thedatabase backup was created at 6:00 P.M. The sequence of transaction logbackups is continuous from the initial database backup created at 8:00 A.M.to the last transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. The followingprocedures can be used to restore the database to its state at 10:00 P.M.(point of failure).Restore the database using the last database backup created.1.. Create a backup of the currently active transaction log.---// end of excerptIf the failure results in loss of the instance and/or the log's parent db,how would we back up that log? Even if we could, what confidence would wehave that the backed up log was not corrupted at failure time?Thanks,PSG

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with a regular backup of an SQL Server (MSDE2000) database to a local drive. I initiate the backup once a week, byissuing the required T-SQL, via ADO. In this case, the T-SQL is:BACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'Note that "local_backup" is a file sitting on the same physical driveas the database itself, and has > 80 GB free. It is not a RAID device.The database that I am backing up is 1.6 GB. Oddly, the backup ofanother database to the same file was successful; it was ~900 MB.Even more strangely, I also back these databases up to a networkdrive, which has been running successfully for a number of weeks now(longer than the local backup), and continues to work without anytrouble. The resultant backup file is much larger than the one sittingon the local drive (6.8 GB on the network drive vs ~4 GB locally) Thisnetwork drive has less space (~50 GB) and is configured as RAID 0.

I have not been able to find any details about backup failures forMSSQL 2000. I am researching the following:1. when a backup fails at a certain point during the process does thebackup:A. stop there having recorded some details?B. quit without backing up any of the data it already processed?C. skip the data it cannot read and move on?2. Does the error log record any of the details above? For instance, ifthere is a table that the backup could not write to .bak, does theerror log report exactly where the error was?I need a way to obtain a Backup Exception 'Report' that when a backupfails it can tell me what did not get into the .bak file. I wouldprefer automatic notification. Our Oracle DBs have something setupthat can be run when a piece of the DB does not get backed up lettingthe Oracle DBA know where there are issues.Thank you,Stephanie
