i want to restore a database but not the log file.
the backup has the data and log files in it.
i tried doing a search for this but kept finding examples about restoring backups that dont have log files. i want to do the opposite.
After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Les

Any help will be appreciated.
I'm working on a restore procedure for the case where all MDF filesare missing, but the LDF files are all intact. A full backup is doneevery 24 hours, and a log backup is done every 3 hours. Afterrestoring the last full + log backups, is it at all possible to usethe LDF files to recover data from that point up to a newer point intime?I've found a post which explains how to do this on SQL Server 2000<http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ms-sqlserver/browse_thread/thread/3ef5c7cbc0a83334/f3b0c70811d35ed7>, but step 4fails with the following error message:BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current databasebackup.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
Hello,
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™,
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

I am just curious to know whether it's possible to restore a SQL 6.5 DB from a DB device file. For e.g. i have a device file abc.dat which contains a db. Now thru this device file can i restore the data on xyz database.

I'm trying to restore a database to a completely new database from an exsiting full backup.

I had SQL win2k running on a machine and had 2 dbs. unfortunately the hard drive failed (ntldr crashed). i was able to copy the contents of from the old drive (so i have the DB files) but no backups.
Is there any way to import this data into a new DB?
Can you restore a backup (bak) file to a different server? E.g. client gets server nicked, they have bak files, can I run a restore to my sql server?
I can see the with MOVE option, but I can't see how to attach (to the new server) if the database wasn't detached (from the nicked server).
i am getting the following error when i try and restore a datbase
The log in this backup set begins at LSN 110000000011300001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 102000000188100001 can be restored..
while iam restoring my back up i got this error message
Msg 3117, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26
The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure res, Line 26

Hi,
I have created a DB on my local machine.
Now I would like to copy this on to another machine.
I stopped the service and then copied both the MDF file and the
log files into the same folder as in Data folder of the second machine.
When I run theStudio express I cannot find the MDF file.It does not show up in the
the DB folder or window.
When I try to create one it says that the DB exists.
What am I missing?
I tried doing a backup and restore but then the DB is not created on the second machine and
hence wont work.
Tnx

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,I'm new to sql but have a website running it on a hosted site. I want to have a local copy of the site running here for testing. I have everything set on my local machine to run it including MSDE and Enterprise Mgr.I've created a blank db with the same name,username and password on my local machine. From my host I received a dbname.bak file which they said I should just restore to my local machine. This sounded simple but I have no idea how to do this. When I right click on the db file within Ent.Mgr I see the Restore option but I can figure out how to designate the dbname.bak file as the source. I also see an option to import but that isn't any better.Does anyone have some simple directions which will show me the proper steps and where I should be to do this? I'd really appreciate it. I assume it's simple but not having ever done it it has me stumped.Thanks!

when i tried to restore like this it is giving error "unable to verify backup file location"
and i checked in SQL server logs i found that message like..
"Unable to open Backup Device I:xyz.bak Failed to open.Operating system error,Unknown user name or bad password"

Can anybody tell me how to restore from the Network, and where i am doing wrong.

1) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?
2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?
I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
"Restore Now" button is greyed out after choosing to "Add File". I know I've done this before, can't figure out the problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, i've struggled in the past to get ms sql 7 db's from one server to another server and always end up getting frustrated. I usually just export and then import..... more work but it does the trick.
Now i've been sent one single db data file that i'm told is a backup copy of someones database. How do i get this loaded onto my server. I've tried restoring from this file but it complains that the backup file is not for the database i'm restoring to.... which is correct.... this has to be something that many people deal with? isn't it?
Can someone please help me out.... some pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I am fairly new to SQL Server and have a question about restoring a database . If a server that contained SQL Server was totally destroyed, and we have backups stored on an external server, how do we restore these backups. I am assuming I would have to install a new instance on the server we buy to replace the destroyed one. Once installed how do I convince or tell SQL Server that there are backups out there. I could move the archived backups back to the new server, but how do I point the new instance of SQL Server to these backups? Thanks in advance for any help.
