Restoring Database Leaves Me With (Restoring...) Message
Jan 9, 2007
I 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 was trying to restore a transaction log when I got this.
What does this mean? I can't find anything by Googling on the
'fixed' parts of the message.
The file 'xx' cannot be moved by this RESTORE operation

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.

Using SQL 7.0, has anyone backed up a database and restored on to a different database without the device files being moved around.
For example, With SQL 6.5 we used to backup PROD (source) database and restore to TRAIN (target) database. It worked just great regardless whether the databases are located on the same drive or not. We loved it and used it to refresh TRAIN from PROD on a weekly basis.(using sql Enterprise Mgr)
However, in SQL 7.0 when we attempt this procedure the database and log files of the TRAIN (target) are getting relocated to the drive location of PROD (source) database. Very strange.
Though thru object transfer i.e. import ,we can import data from PROD(source)
to TRAIN (target) database, but it is very slow and takes lot of time and performance degrades for source database (PROD)
Any input on above will be appreciated if backup / restore thru
enterprise mgr or TSQL procedure works in SQL 7.0 for restoring another database which is also on different drive i.e PROD (source) database on
drive C and TRIAN (target) database on drive E.
Thanks

While this may be in the wrong forum, I thought that I should try here first.
One of the developers that works for this company would like to restore a sample database to the SQL server after installing our software.
Is there a command line command that can be issued to restore/create a database with a file (.bak) of an SQL database (sample)? If this can't be done, can it be done with VBScript or something similar?
SQL is not my strong point, and neither is development. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

theres two .mdf files
game_log.mdf
game_data.mdf
is there a way to restore a database with these files but not with .bak (backup) files? i couldn't connect to database so i reinstalled sql server 2000 and this time i could connect to the sql server fine but when i tried to restore the database, it wouldn't work when i set it to transcation log and it shows an error
The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH RECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step. RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
please help, thank you

Is there a way to restore a database backup file to the default data directory in a specific SQL 2005 instance using T-SQL?
I know that you can use the command RESTORE DATABASE, but that will restore the database files back to it original location. I also know that I can use the WITH MOVE option also, but is there a keyword or some special notation that I can use to make sure that the data/log files are moved to the default data directory for a specific SQL 2005 instance?
I am trying to avoid cases where the original file location does not exists in the current file system.
Thanks in advance,
Rodney

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to restore a single database from tape if no backup jobs have been ran or setup for this database. However, the server itself has been backuped to tape. So I would like to restore this database from the server tape backup. If so, how do I accomplish this?

Hi, I am in a production database server. Data has been added and deleted via the web. So there is alot of traffice in and out of the database. How can I make a backup plan to make sure I am not lossing any input or deleted data . I am familiar with backing up a database in regular intervals, but I amnot sure if this is the best way in this senario.
How can I take advantage of the transaction log in restoring the database.
Thanks

In SQL 7 Books Online, the suggested method for disaster recovery is to restore the master database along with msdb and user databases.
I am testing this and have an issue restoring the master database. I start SQL in single user mode connected as sa. Using Enterprise Manager to initiate the restore I get the following error:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState:01000)
ConnectionTransact (GetOverlappedResult())
Connection broken.
This stops SQL Server, and prevents subsequent connections and the only fix is to rebuild the master database.
Any ideas?
Although user databases can be recreated and restored without restoring the original master, configuration, security and user logon information is lost without it.
Thanks.

"WITH MOVE OPTION". If i choose to restore via the database option, it
doesn't recognize my backup file in the dropdown list of backup files
to restore. I would like to use the enterprise manager if possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi!
I attempted to backup a database on server x and restore it on a database on server y. The details are as follows.
Server X
Database name : dbx
Size :263.88MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dbx_data, dbx_log
Physical files : e:mssql7datadbx_data.mdf, f:databaselogsdbx_log.ldf
Server Y
Database name : dby
Size :1MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dby_data, dby_log
Physical files : d:mssql7datadby_data.mdf, d:mssql7datadby_log.ldf
I created a full database backup of dbx on server x at the location, f:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AM. The size of the file is 272MB. I zipped the file. Copied the file, dbx_083099_10.30AM.xip over to d:ackups of server y. I unzipped the file at server y to the location, d:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM.
I now tried to restore this backup on server y using the statement,
restore database dby from disk = 'd:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM
with replace,
move 'dbx_data' to 'd:mssql7datadby_data.mdf',
move 'dbx_log' to 'd:mssql7datadby_log.ldf'
I get the following errors :
Server: Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'd:' to create the database. The database requires 3219128320 additional free bytes, while only 2047102976 bytes are available.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
Error log shows,

Hi all, I'm hopeful that someone can help.. I'm working with my DRP scripts, and am having some trouble.
First I run Rebuildm with no issue, sql works fine (btw we're on SQL7 SP2)
then I start sql in single user mode
sqlservr -m
next, I attempt to restore my master db from a dump, and receive the following error:
Getpage: bstat=0x9, sstat=0x1, cache
pageno is/should be:objid is/should be:

... IAM indicates that page is NOT allocated to this object
Error: 605, Severity: 21, State: 1.
Error: 3151, Severity: 21, State: 0
The master database failed to restore. Use the rebuildm utility to rebuild the master database. Shutting down SQL Server..
PLEASE HELP!
