Can't Restore Database From .a .bak File In Enterprise Manager
May 29, 2006
Hi Everybody,
I use MS SQL server 2000 enterprise manager on a windows server 2003.
I created a new database in enterprise manager, and try to restore the new database from a .bak file.
I went to ---->restore database. I checked "from device" and select the right path to the .bak file.
Then I click ok, but there is an error pop up." tend to override existing database",
so I went to --->option, and checked "force override existing database". then I click ok, but get an error look like this http://ewwa.lo7.net/error.JPG
I thought it was a problem with my .bak file. So I try to use another .bak file which I am sure it is 100% good. It prompt the restore is sucessfully. But when I checked the db, there nothing there(No tables).
I think there must be something wrong with my enterprise manager's configuration.
Do you know what happen with my enterprise manager? Thank you a lot in advance:)!!
I have several clients who are reporting a negative file size on their database devices in Enterprise Manager. The sp_helpdevice procedure reports the size correctly. Any suggestions?
Hi i need some insistance with Backing up and Restoring database in SQL Enterprise Manager.
I have SQL installed on my local machine, and there is also an instance of the database on the Actual Server.
What i want to do is backup a dbase on the server called 'DATA1' let's call it, and want to then restore it to a new dbase on my local server called 'DATA2'.
What is the best way of doing this, through the wizard in: What menu's do i go through.
I think where i may have the problem is when i try to RESTORE to my local...That part i an confused at.
Please Help with both Backing up and Restoring, using best practices in Enterprise Manager.
Hi guys, I don't own a copy of Enterprise Manager and I need to remotely restore a database on my local machine to my hosted machine, can you guys recommend an application that can do remote restores?
Or is there a way to convert a Database into a long set of Transact SQL statements that I can run on the remote server (ala MySQL's MySQLDump)?
Hi,In case of a remastering of a client, I need to backup the EnterpriseManager configuration (the groups, the declared servers in thegroups), instead of registering all servers manually once again.Does anyone know how it could be done ?TYArjp
When I select All Actions>Backup Database and then click the ... button to choose a location on the hard drive, SQL Enterprise Manager Hangs and I have to kill it from Task Manager.
All other areas of EM browse the disk drive without a problem. (DTS, File Groups, etc.)
I have created a DTS package that pulls data from one column (varchar,600) in a table and exports it to a text file. The max length in this field is only 285 characters long, however, the end of one of the records is being truncated in the text file. Data is tab delimited in the table and is being exported that way.
We recently upgraded to Version 7.0 and the Enterprise Manager on the client is not showing the database size or the information in regards to the last backups. Has anyone else experienced this that can offer a solution?
I am trying to solve this problem for the past 1.5 weeks and it is driving me crazy :(
I can't connect to my SQL database using Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, Visual Studio 2003 .NET or a .aspx that I created for testing.. it runs perfectly on my domain but it doesnt work on my computer, on the browser I get this message: SQL Server unavailable or access denied. It is the same message I get when I try connecting to my db using EM, QA, VS.NET etc :(
I can ping my sql domain, so I know I have access to it and it is working.. I can successfully connect to my personal SQL server running on my machine. (SQL Server Personal Edition running on Windows XP )
I tried doing everything I could,
I already selected TCP/IP as my client only protocol; I tried installing the lastest MDAC (v 2.8); I tried every other port on my TCP/IP client setup like 14333 or 11433 or 11143 etc; I tried every other port on the alias I set for my sql address; I tried downloading the evaluation version of MS SQL2000 and updating it to SP3; I tried reinstalling several times my MS SQL2000 (I use the personal edition on my windows XP) and updating it to SP3; I tried connecting to my sql address domain and directly to its IP; And I tried a lot more resolutions that I can't remember right now, but it didn't work :(
I've been searching all forums/google etc looking for someone with my problem but I still didnt, everyone who had a problem connecting to their DB using EM or QA resolved it by doing "this or that", I did exactly the same "this or that" on my computer/config and it didn't resolve my problem. :(
What am I doing wrong? I can't connect to my database from my personal computer :(
I have never used enterprise manager before, so I don't know if it is a problem on my personal computer or on my sql server address on internet.. Is there anyway to find a free test ms sql database with like 1mb just to try and find out if I can connect to a sql database at all using EM or if the problem is here on my computer?
I cannot seem to connect to this Instance locally which was i able toin the past. I can connect to the instance from out side. The instanceis running and the DBs in the instance are available and usedsuccessfully by the applications but i cannot connect to the instanceusing the enterprise manager.the error i get isSQL Server does not exist or access deniedrubeel
I know how to create a database using enterprise manager in sql server 7 or 2000. But i want to create a database where i have to set the unicode as UTF8 for the whole database. is it possible? if yes, how can i do that.
We are running SQL 2000 SP3 on a Win2K server with multiple user databases. Our current problem is the ability of users to view the database objects via the native tools.
Example: User Bob Bob has the following rights: DB A – datareader/datawriter DB B – datareader/datawriter DB C – datareader DB D – datareader DB E – datareader/datawriter
The user has no builder rights or server roles.
In Enterprise Manager, the user can not see any databases. In Query Analyzer, the user can only see DB A, B, and C. Anyone seen this problem before and/or have suggestions?
I have Enterprise Manager on my local machine. For the last twelvemonths it has been connecting without problem to my online SQL Serverdatabase provided by my ISP.Three weeks ago the ISP applied some sort of extra securityarrangements to their SQL Server to allow access only through port1433. they have told me to configure an alias using Network Client andto register this alias in the usual way using my Enterprise Manager.My problem is that despite creating the alias in exactly the wayinstructed I just cannot connect to online database. I keep gettingthe SQL Server does not exist or access denied when I try to connect.As a result of advice obtained I have tried using the lite version ofthe 'littleADmin' tool available fromhttp://www.mylittletools.net/scripts/en/mla_sql/Using this useful looking software I find I cannot connect to theonline SQL database when it is installed on my own local machine butif I install it on my website it does connect without problem to myonline SQL. Server databaseHowever I need to use my more powerful Enterprise Manager to connect,my question (at last!) is:1. Is there likely to be a problem trying to connect to my onlinedatabase from Enterprise Manager on my local machine as a result ofthe new security arrangements. In other words, is there somethinganalagous to what is happening with the 'littleAdmin tool' wherebyusing Enterprise Manager I cannot connect from my local machine forsome reason obvious to everyone except myself??or2. Is it possible that there is some problem arising from Net Client?(the aliases appear in Enterprise Manager OK)I know my ISP should be answering this sort of question but they justdon't seem to know. I need to connect even if only to download mydatabase and take it to another ISP,Best wishes, John Morgan

Hi,I need help. I transferred my database from one server to another byusing attach detach process.I created all the jobs which existed in theold server in the new server. Everything looked fine but a couple ofjobs is a giving me some problems. When I try to edit the job step Icould see that the database dropdown list doesn't contain the databasename(which I transferred from the old server)Does anyone have any idea about it.ThanksArun
I have SQL Server 2000 with SP4. When we take backup from Enterprise manager its fails with error "timeout expired". But when we take backup from query analyzer it works.
It seems that through enterprise manager 30 sec is the non configurable timeout parameter set. Checked sysprocesses table during backup but there was no blocking during that time at least for that spid.
Is there a way to find out which process is blocking the database backup? Also, what are the possible scenarios where database backup can be blocked.
How to delete/drop all the tables from SQL Server Database without using Enterprise Manager? I tried using DROP Tables, Truncate Database, Delete and many more but it is not working. I want to delete all tables using Query Analyzer, i.e. through SQL Query.Please help me out in this concern.Nishith Shah
On one of our machines, all of the SQL Server 2000components except for the main Server component (SQL Servercore) itself were installed (Management tools, etc) a while agoand everything was running fine. Now I go and add/install theServer component and then Service Pack 3a.It seems that Service Manager won't start up (I get an hourglass cursor)and now I find that Enterprise Manager won't run as well. No errormessages appeared and I don't think I saw anything unusual inthe log file.However, I can use Enterprise Manager on a differentmachine and connect to the database (so the databaseitself seems to be running).Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and how tofix it? I like to see if I can repair this without havingto do a reinstall.Thanks.PF
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
While migrating Report services in SQL Server 2005 to 2014, I am trying to restore the Encryption Key in RS Configuration Manager in2014. But I cannot click the 'Restore' button in RS Configuration Manager. So if I should be grant more right to do so or any other action?
Is it possible to connect SQL Sever 2005 Express from SQL Sever 2000 Enterprise Manager? Tried to connect but got the error message "must use SQL Server management tools to connect this sever"
If a SQL 2000 server instance is destroyed, but the database file (*.mdf) is saved on the disk, can a database within a newly created server instance be built on the saved file?
If I attempt to create a new database and choose the saved mdf file as the data file, then the server refuses to accept this file. Is there a way to create the new database and make it read the standalone mdf file?
Is it possible to restore a database with only a .bak file?? When I try to restore the system comes up with 2 paths where probably the original .mdf and .ldf files existed, but on my system they don't exist. How can I avoid this problem? (it's not possible to get the ldf and mdf files anymore...)
Hello, I had backed up a database from SQL 2000, just before I format my computer. Now I have installed SQL 2005 and trying to restore that database to it, it doesn't work and I get the following error when doing that

I have to do a database restore from tape from a couple of months ago. When I look at the SQL scheduled task history all databases were sucesfully backed up to a .DAT file. However, when I look at the .DAT file which I have just retrieved from tape - the database which I am looking for isn't listed under the backup information, so I can't choose it to carry out the restore.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN RESTORE A SQL7 DATABASE WITH JUST THE DATA FILE? THERE IS NO GOOD BACKUP OF THE DATABASE AND THE LOG FILE IS MISSING. THE CLIENT THOUGHT THEY WHERE BACKING UP THE DATABASE BACKUP FILE TO TAPE, BUT THEY WHERE NOT. THE BACKUP FILE WAS BEING OVERWRITTEN EVERY NIGHT. THE LAST NIGHTS BACKUP DID NOT GET TO FINISH TO COMPLETION. PLEASE, ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS, TIM
I have been trying to use DMO(C++) to backup a database and then restore from that backup to a new db name AND physical data and log files, with no success. I have been able to successfully restore the backup to the same database and change the physical file names using the RelocateFiles property on the Restore object, but not change both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
