Recovery :: SSMS Won't Show Bak Files Or Even Folders Using Enterprise Admin Account?
Oct 16, 2015I'm working on a newly installed windows 2012 R2 server which has SQL Server 2012 and SSMS installed on it. What has been odd is that when I open the "restore database" dialog, in the "Select Backup Devices", "Locate Backup File" dialog, only the immediate folders off of the root of the E: drive are visible. E: is where sql server data and backup files are stored.
The account I am logged in with is supposed to have Enterprise Admin rights. How is can I not see these folders and files? The files are certainly there and are visible to me on that login with windows explorer. I am able to backup via SSMS without issue.
When I look at the folder's permissions everything seems normal. If I add "Everyone" to that folder's permissions the folders and files become visible. The SQL Server service is running on the NT ServiceMSSQLSERVER account, which is normal for my other installations of sql server.

File System And MSDB Folders Gone
Jul 27, 2007This is terrible thing to happed at 4:30 pm on Friday!
I was working yesterday on some of deployment packages using file system (by the way, my msdb can not expand )
and just an hour ago I wanted to try some parent child deployment using file system.
but,
The only two folders I see in Integration services are Running Packages and Stored Packages. Nothing under those ones...
I have checked default location for File System (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackages) and there are three packages there but these do not show in IServices.
And another question, if I execute package by double clicking on .dstx file should that make it show under File System?

Attach Databases Dialog Doesn't Give Mw Access To My VWD Folders
Mar 25, 2007I'm using SQL Server Management Studio eExpress and I'm tryng to link to a database created in Visual Web Developer Express. My problem is that I can't see large parts of my file system when I try to attach a database in SQL Server Express. Web Developer Express likes to put its databases in C:Documents and Settings<User Name>My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSites<Site Name>App_Data. However, when I try to attach a database in that location to SQL Server Express (Right Click Databases node, select Attach from the shortcut menu then Add from the Attach Databases dialog) I get a folder tree that won’t let me go any further than C:Documents and Settings<User Name>. There seem to be large parts of my folder structure that I cannot access with this dialog.
Just in case this is a permissions issue, I am using Windows XP Pro on a stand alone machine. I log on as Administrator, and the <User Name> in the above paths is Administrator. The Administrator is a member of the Administrators group. I have never logged on as anything else and never made any changes to the way permissions are set. When I start SQL Server express I select Windows Authentication.

Backup System Databases
Feb 1, 2005hi,
I have just started a new job and they have nightly backups of the master, msdb and model databases.
But why would you need a nightly backup of the model database? surely the model database never changes, so would a one time backup not be sufficient?
Please advise me if I am incorrect

Shrink System Databases
Apr 28, 2015I have some questions :

2.Is it OK to set the Recovery model of Database MODEL as SIMPLE ? at the moment it is in FULL recovery model and the transaction log is Full too
Do System Databases Need To Be Restored?
Sep 11, 2007The consultant hired as our Remote DBA for SQL Server 2005 recently changed the recovery model on our user database from Full to Simple. He explained this was necessary because the transaction log was growing very large and backing up the database when the model was set to Full was not shrinking it. Now, the master database and the msdb database are backed up daily along with our user database.
When we need to restore our user database, do we need to restore the master database and the msdb database too? What order should the databases be restored in?

I brought setup.exe file from installation cd to c drive of the server. My SQL Server is DEV and SQL Instance is SQL02. While running above command in command prompt (from C: prompt) I have an error masage that said 'setup failed' without any specific cause given for the failure.
I am doing above as part of disaster/recovery procedure in test environment.

View 17 Replies View RelatedRestore All System Databases
Feb 8, 2007Hi All,
I need to do a restore of all my system databases, master, msdb and model, and of course my production database.
The Windows 2003 OS and Sql Server 2005 have both been reinstalled on the server.
I understand I need to be in Single User Mode to restore the master database and I just wanted to clarify the procedure for a successful restore.
I've found this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190679.aspx which has instructions for restoring a master database.
So, all I have to do is:
1. Be in single user mode
2. Using SQLCMD run:
C:> sqlcmd
1> RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK = 'Z:MyBackLocationmaster.bak';
2> GO
From the instructions:
"After master is restored, the instance of SQL Server shuts down and terminates the sqlcmd process"
My Questions:
When I've restored the master do I repeat the steps above to restore the msdb and model databases?
Are there any other pitfalls?
Thanks for any advice

System Databases On Different Disk Partition
Aug 19, 2007Hi all,
I'm having some performance-wise thoughts about my new sql-server 2005 installation ...
I have my SQL installed on one partition (the system dbs are also on that partition by default), my regular databases (non system dbs) are on different partition.
The question is - if my sys dbs are on different partition, could I experience some performance issues ?
One senario that I can think of is when the SQL looks for SPs starting with sp_ in the master DB, the disk will have to check a different partition. Perhaps such senario was solved using some kind of caching methods on the sql server itself.
Hope my thread is in the right forum.
Cheers everyone.
Rebuilding System Databases On A Cluster
Jan 5, 2007I am having trouble rebuilding the SQL 2005 system databases on my cluster.
The Cluster hardware failed completely and I am recovering from scratch (but only 1 node at this time)
The Win2K3 OS is recovered and communicating with the domain.
Cluster services have started and the quorum is online.
The clustered SQL instance is offline because there is no master.mdf present.
I run the setup command as per BOL:
start /wait setup.exe /qn VS=<VSName> INSTANCENAME=<InstanceName> REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 ADMINPASSWORD=<StrongPassword> SAPWD=<NewStrongPassword> SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser> SQLPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword> AGTACCOUNT=<domainuser> AGTPASSWORD=<DomainUserPassword>
The Summary.log reports the following:
Machine : CLUSTER1
Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Product Version: 9.00.1399.06
Install : Successful
Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerSetup BootstrapLOGFilesSQLSetup0001_CLUSTERSVR1_SQL.log
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup succeeded with the installation, inspect the log file completely for status on all the components.
However the Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATA directory is empty. There are no system databases.
Without a rebuilt Master I cannot bring the clustered SQL instance online to then restore my database backups.
Any ideas?

Moving System Databases SQL 2005
Mar 16, 2007I am in the process of moving my system databases to another volume. I have accommplished the first section pertaining to master database.
I have reached step 3 in the Resource database move section down below.
It states to change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I changed the query to point ot the new location of the master, (E:MSSQLData)
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= E:MSSQLDatamssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I get the following error when I run the query:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database mssqlsystemresource. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
What am I doing wrong? My syntax must be incorrect. But I can't figure it. Anybody done this before.
These are the steps per msdn.
****************************************************************************************************************
To move the master database, follow these steps.
1. From the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2. In the SQL Server 2005 Services node, right-click the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service and choose Properties.
3. In the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. Edit the startup parameters values to point to the planned location for the master database data and log files and click Apply. Moving the error log file is optional.
The parameter value for the data file must follow the -d parameter and the value for the log file must follow the -l parameter. The following example shows the parameter values for the default location of the master data and log files.
-dC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmastlog.ldf
If the planned relocation for the master data file is E:SQLData and the planned relocation for the log file is F:SQLLog, the parameter values would be changed as follows:
-dE:SQLDatamaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lF:SQLLogmastlog.ldf
5. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service.
6. Physically move the files to the new location.
7. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
8. Verify the file change.
SELECT name, physical_name, state_desc
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = DB_ID('master');
********************************************************************************************
To move the Resource database, follow these steps.
1. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service if it is started.
2. Start the service in minimal mode. To do this, at the command prompt, enter <SQLPath>innsqlservr -c -f -T3608 where <SQLPath> is the path for the instance of ssNoVersion. For example, C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL. This will start the instance of ssNoVersion for master-only recovery.
3. Run these queries. Change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=log, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.ldf');
4. Make sure the Resource database is set to read-only by running this query:
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource SET READ_ONLY;
5. Physically move the files to the new location.
6. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
