Diff Backup Help
Mar 22, 2006
Dear all
I am new to the MS SQL, my problem is as follows.
I am having a online database on sql 2k.
every 15 days we have to give payout from our system, so we
have a offline server in our office, we take the complete backup of that day & restore the same on the offline server,
& start the payout process.
The problem is that the full backup is a big file & take a lot of time for downloading from online server.
is it possible that we take on diff. backup of that day & will restore the same on the offline server so the file will take less time to download.
but my offline backup is 15 days old, will that update all the records or not?
regards
Abhijit

Can i restore a diff. backup alone without a complete backup?
(what i am trying is this.....there are two different servers at two diff. places....i need to have both servers in sync. at all times.modifications will take place in one server and the modifications have to be reflected in the other server.i could not go for replication as the servers cannot be connected.sending complete backups daily will be a overhead .hence planning to take complete backup once and send diff. backups alone on subsequent days to the other server.
how can i achieve this?)

In playing with differential backups, i have taken a full last night, 17GB, took my first diff today 16.5GB, took another diff right after, it was still 16.5GB, took another diff right after 16.5 GB. This database has 0 activity during the day, the import takes place @ night, and select's are done to it during the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a handful of jobs that I need to troubleshoot, but this one will hopefully give me enough insight to do the rest myself. I need to figure out why a Maintenance Plan that performs a Diff Backup on 4 databases, and then a transaction log back up on the 4 databases is failing. I just get the following error message, and I cannot tell what failed.

Friends,
I have taken backup of a database, of which Data (MDF) & Log (LDF) files are located on "E:...." directory.
Now, I am using the same backup file to restore on another PC which is having no partitions at all. I mean now I have to restore the database using same backup file, of which Data & Log files should be located on "C:...." directory only, as it has no partitions.
This restore process gives me error :
Restore failed for Server 'HSVMMICROFIT'.
Details : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:Program FilesMicroFitHealthStar v6.0 Server EditionDataMICROFIT_HealthStar_Data.mdf'.
What is to be done, in order to restore the database from the same back up file successfully, regardless whether the original physical location of the MDF & LDF file, is existing on current PC ??????????????
Please try to solve the same for me.... W8ing...

SQL Server 2000 sp3 Enterprise (8.00.818) running on W2K Adv Server cluster.
DB's and backups resided on a fibre SAN attached IBM FAStT 500 storage controller.
I had problems with random restore failures, getting errors such as "3270 Internal Consistency Error" on log restores or on full restores after reporting problems with some of the files. This was fixed (we thought) by disabling the read caching on the FAStT 500 storage controller, per Microsoft's recommendation.
We have a custom-written log shipping solution that maintains a 2nd copy of our user DB on the same system, so there's 700+ backups/restores of various types in the course of a week. After two months of error-free operation, we just got another Internal Consistency Error, but this time on a differential restore, which was a first. Looking back, we realized we were running a DBCC INDEXDEFRAG command on the source DB at the time the differential backup was running. Taking a new differential and using it in the restore sequence worked fine, so clearly the problem was in the first diff backup file.
Anybody else noticed any problems with running DBCC INDEXDEFRAG at the same time as a differntial backup?

I need to copy the last differential backup file from the production server directory to a data warehouse server directory. There are 3 differential backup files on the directory and I need to grab the latest one. I have the following syntax which work from a batch file but it does not work when I put it into a job step as a cmd even though I remove the double %% to only one %.
echo @off
set path1="192.29.305.213$SqlserverProductionBa ckupsKBR_PROD"
set path2=K:SqlserverDatawarehouseBackupPROD
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%%~a" "%path2%" & goto nextstep
:nextstep
Echo File Copied.
Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"
It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get

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?

Are there any tools/utilties that can diff 2 sql server databases. I know the DB Pro Edition of VSTS can do it, but its hard to justify a jump from my $800 copy of VS2005 Pro to a $5k-6k version of VS just to get database diff. The tablediff looks promising but I need it to do SPROCS and SFUNCS too. Any helps or recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks
Jane

I need a to build a result as shown above in matrix, many countries will be in resultset and each country performance is evaluated based on previous year. (90-80)/80=12.50%. the problem is this year and segment values are calculated based on aggregate functions and is derived by means of specific formaule. for country1 in year 2006 for segment1 the value 80,90 is arrived by using sum(leadtime*Ordervalue)/sum(Ordervalue).
So i cannot store these current and previous year values for calculating the % bymeans of custom code, runningvalue cannot be used as the formulae already has an aggregate, is there any direct way to locate the cell references just like excel R1C1 with matrix? if so then i can refer the cells for calculating my %. please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @all,
I designed a query in report designer, data tab. This query runs 24 secs, when I execute it from the data tab in report designer.
Publishing the report and running it from the report server. The query needs 40x the time as in report designer.
Looking at the Execution Log, the report needs 800 secs for TimeDataRetrieval.
Why is it so much slower to run the query from report server? The report designer has also to retrieve the data, and runs so much faster.
Thanks for any hints

The DB Enginee is SQL2005 SP1. In MSSMS
the following query always finishes within 1 minute
SELECT *
FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.key= t2.key
where t1.StartTime >= '3/19/2008' AND t1.EndTime <= '3/20/2008'
AND t2.StartTime >= t1.StartTime AND t2.StartTime < t1.EndTime
however, the following always takes 10+ minutes
declare @pStartDate datetime
declare @pEndDate datetime
set @pStartDate='3/19/2008'
set @pEndDate='3/20/2008'
SELECT *
FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.key= t2.key
where t1.StartTime >= @pStartDate AND t1.EndTime <= @pEndDate
AND t2.StartTime >= t1.StartTime AND t2.StartTime < t1.EndTime
Both return same result. The only diff. is the blue part. Why the second one performances so badly?
Thanks.
