Back-up SQL 2005 with NTBACKUP and Volume Shadow Copy

Hi everybody,
I want to make a snapshot backup of a SQL 2005 database with SAP ECC6.
I want to use NTBACKUP to make the snapshot.
Does the database freeze at the moment of the snapshot?
Does anybody use this method?
Thanks in advanche.
Kind regards,
Klaas van Deelen

NTbackup uses VSS to create the copy of FILES.
VSS is not designed to replace your current backup strategy,
VSS will copy a data file, then another, then another etc - heres the problem sapdata1 and sapdata2 will be backed up at DIFFERENT times. if you tried to restore the DB, it would NOT be consistent.If VSS backed up the files OFFLINE - np, it will work.
VSS cache is also on the system (default) as the original data - not really a smart idea for a backup solution.
Use either the SQL tools to backup online to tape/external storage or get the symantec backupexec with the SQL agent to allow for online backups again to tape or nearline storage.

Does deduplication and Volume Shadow Copy work together?

Hi!
I have a fileserver with five 2TB-disks on it on a 2012 R2 server. I want to enable dedup on it that according to DDPEval.exe would save ~40%. I would also like to enable Volume Shadow Copies on the volumes so the the end user easily could restore removed
files and folders.
I have not found anything from microsoft about use both these features on the same volume, is it supported?
I have done some searching and found that for some users the say that dedup would change so much on the snapshots that it have to delete older snapshots, even though not much data have changed, the dedup force VSC to delete old snapshots.
Any experience with these features co-located on the same volume? Do I need to choose just one of them to use on my volumes?
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my research, the Shadow Copy and Deduplication could be used together in a Windows Server 2012 R2. The deletion of the old snapshots could be due to the Volume for which the shadow copy being created is more than 64 TB. Volume Shadow Copy Service supports
a volume size of up to 64 TB.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the article below:

SQL 2005 with database compatibiltiy level set to 80

I am working with a new client transferred to us and they have been having performance issues, particularly with an add-on solution. I have been looking as some of the database settings and noticed that the database compatibility level was set to 80 - SQL 2000 when they are running on SQL 2005 with SAP B1 2007, PL 44. Would having this set to 80 have any impact on performance? Is it suggested to absolutely set the compatibility level to 90?.
Thanks to all

Hi,
As per the SQL Administration guide, you have to choose collation setting of: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS when installing MSSQL 2005 Server.
In order to check what the collation is set to in your server, please run the following query:
select SERVERPROPERTY ('collation')
(This query gets the collation settings of MSSQL Server's System Database "Master")
Expected answer : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
As MSSQL 2005 Server is already installed with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS, kindly follow the steps below:
Change your server collation to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
You can find Microsoft's instructions for changing an SQL server collation here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179254.aspx
Note: The collation settings of Database "Master" needs to be changed only. All SAP Business One Databases must not be changed! They must remain on SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AS.
If you need any clarifications with this process please refer to an Expert Empowerment Session "SQL 2005 Server Collation settings" at https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000050892007E/ or http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/support -> Archive: Empowerment Sessions.
If you have any Service pack for MSSQL Server installed, but the Service pack is not included into your DVD MSSQL Server, do as follows:
1. Uninstall Service pack
2. Change Collation Settings as per Expert Empowerment Session
3. Install Service pack again
Hope this is helpful!

Next I check Shadow Copies details from volume properties (right click on C or other drive then select properties then click on Shadow Copies Tab) and found it is showing the same error code..
From this error it is clear that the issue is inside the registry hive and due to junk hive shadow copies services not able to working properly.
For me the server have two disk we check disk signature at MBR and found the disk signature was.
Signature disk 0 : 9351912b
Signature disk 0 : FDFBE035
But at registry we found lot of nonexistance signature. Which indicate lot of junk valu inside registry.
Now how can we resolve this issue?
It is very simple just delete the registry key “volume” (registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\STORAGE\Volume”) and reboot the server it will “Volume” registry hive automatically.
Note:
When you remove registry key it is showing error unable to delete, then please right click on it select permission then take ownership and assign full permission to your login account.
Please be careful when you delete registry key because system can fully crashed if you delete or modify wrong registry key.
Your can take a backup of the registry key by exporting.

The creation of the shadow copy on the backup destination has failed. Detailed Error: The Volume Shadow Copy operation failed with the error 0x80042316

When using Microsoft Backup on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 (not R2 - [Microsoft version 6.0.6002]) I get the error "The creation of the shadow copy on the backup destination has failed. Detailed Error: The Volume Shadow Copy operation failed with the
error 0x80042316"
The odd thing is that when I start the backup manually, it works fine. When it runs automatically the error appears.
When doing a SFC /scannow I do get errors that can't be corrected.
Is there anything short of rebuilding this machine (It's a DC and the only one this office has) I can do to fix this?

Hi,
0x80042316 means "Another shadow copy creation is already in progress". This error could occur when another VSS instance is running.
Is there any third party backup application installed? Try to uninstall it to see the result. And please also check if there is another backup schedule which causes the conflict.
Meanwhile please provide the result of:
vssadmin list providers
vssadmin list writers

Hi,
I do have Crashplan ProE running. It started at 1900 and the Windows Backup starts at 2000. I have modified Crashplan not to start until 2300 to see if that helps.

Hi John,
Please run “vssadmin list writers” command to check the VSS writer status. There is a similar thread, please go through it to help troubleshoot this issue:

Used and allocated Shadow Copy Storage space is showing values in GB .

Hi All ,
This is an production issue and i need an urgent help on this case.
In my environment i am having exchange server 2013 in DAG extended with three sites.On that i am having two mailbox servers in the production site and one mailbox server in remaining two sites.
we have mounted all the mailbox databases in one production mailbox server.Those databases are present in LUN mapped to the production mailbox servers from SAN storage.
Issue :
Few of the mailbox databases are occupying too much of size on the LUN than it's original size.
Say for instance i have kept the mailbox database called "test" which is present on the LUN with the size of 190 GB.On that whole space the mailbox database is occupying only 100GB but on the diskmgmt and also on the explorer it is showing
only the free space as 17 GB.
Finally we have run the below mentioned command and found that the used and allocated shadow storage is occupying the size around 34 GB.
Attached snap for your reference :
Question : How to reclaim the space occupied by the shadow copy storage to the LUN ? If possible someone tell me why this issue is happening ?
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Hi,
According to my research and technology, it’s caused by Volume Shadow Copy Service which is used to backup infrastructure for the Microsoft operation systems, as well as a mechanism for creating consistent point-in-time copies of data known as shadow copies.
We can use VssAdmin to create, delete, and list information about shadow copies. More details about Volume Shadow Copy Service, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee923636(v=ws.10).aspx
Besides, this issue may be related to Windows server. I recommend you to contact to Windows Server Team so that you can get more professional suggestions, please refer to:

System State Backup - 2008R2 - Volume Shadow Copy Error

I am attempting to do system state backup in my Test environment. I am running Hyper-V on a standalone "sandbox" server. I have configured a semi-duplicate environment.
We are updating the schema soon, and I would like to do a System State restore for practice and I haven't actually had to do one in about 10 years.
I am running 2008R2 DC as a VM in my Hyper-V environment. It has a C: and E: volume, VSS is enabled on e: and set to Unlimited. I set my set "BackupLocation=e:\adbackups" and attempt to run wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:"E:"
(with quotes or without it still fails.
My error from command is Error - Volume Shadow Copy Service operation error (0x800423f4) which appears to be a generic error. In the Backup Event Viewer it shows as Event ID 9, another generic error.
I am running as Domain Admin, and I checked that I have Backup Operator rights. Volume Shadow Copy service is running.

Hello Chris,
This issue occurs if any of the virtual disks attached to the guest VM was created by using the option to copy the contents of a physical disk. Please refer the below mentioned MS KB..
Backup of a Hyper-V virtual machine fails with error 0x800423f4 if the disk signature on a virtual hard disk is the same as a physical disk on the Hyper-V host

"DPM uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)"

"DPM uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create a snapshot of the protected data."
According to MS (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb808827.aspx)
Does that mean I have to set asides space on the protected server (a file server), so it can store shadow copies, and the DPM server taps into those shadow copies to create its recovery points etc?
Thanks

Hi Joe,
when you are protecting a file server. DPM will implement a change journal to record all the blocks that have been changed.
Then once the sync starts. The journal is interrogated and will tell DPM which file have been changed.
Then the VSS writer makes a copy of these data and send them to DPM.
You don't need additionnal space or to create a new folder on your server.

SQL Injection with CF7 and MS SQL 2005

I looked through a bunch of SQL injection posts and couldn't
find a definitive answer to this...
Let me introduce this by saying that I know I should be using
CFQUERYPARAM with EVERY CF variable in a CFQUERY tag. No excuses.
But for a necessary quick fix, if I only use it for numeric
DB fields, is SQL injection still possible (using MS SQL 2005)?
I've yet to successfully perform SQL injection while manipulating a
variable surrounded by single quotes in the query.
Scenario 1) select * from users where user_id=#form.user_id#
...is a gimme to hack, but
Scenario 2) select * from users where
password='#form.password#' ...is another story
Has anyone ever heard of a successful SQL injection attack in
a Scenario 2 situation.
I'll fix everything up eventually, but I've got a Pen Test
coming up soon, and a lot of raw code to review.
Thanks

tags".

SQL 2005 with ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) Unicode

Hi All,
I need a few questions to be answered.
Can anybody tell me as to what would be the initial size of the database after an installation of ECC 6.0 Unicode with database as SQL 2005.
Is there any minimum hardware requirements that would have to be taken into consideration before an installation is planned.
Can anyone help me in deciding whether MSCS services or Manual Log shipping would be preferred for Failovers.....
Regards
Anand

Sizing
Hardware sizing should be completed by your SAP partner. Its based on many things. Users, modules, storage volumes, peek, BP, workloads etc etc.
You can do the 'noddy' version with the sapsize on OSS. The output from this is in 'SAPs' you could look up std systems bench marks and get something 'like' it. Else submit the results to the hardware vendor of your choice and they will do it for you.
System Redundancy
Depends what you are trying to do.
MSCS is a fail over HARDWARE only solution. ie if you want to patch or take a node out of service you can by 'failing over' the services on it to the other node. If you get a DB problem MSCS can not help you at all.
Log shipping gives you 'rapid' recovery options for SQL(and there in SAP). The way this normally works is via either manual or automatic log-shipping to a 'standby' system with SQL/SAP loaded on it that can be brought online if you get a problem with the main system.
A well planned system will have fail-over and recovery capabilities, ie it will use BOTH.

Microsoft SQL 2005, Terminal Services and Tiger

We found a great application we need to use at work. Unfortunately, it runs only on Windows. We will need to run it on a Windows server, running SQL Server 2005, and Macs interacting with it using MS Terminal Server. At least that is what someone at Dell said. This ends up being a huge and complicated purchase for us.
All this is totally foreign to me. I set up our Mac network, using OSX Server 10.2, migrating up to 10.4. We have 16 computers on the network, and it runs reasonably well. I did not need months of training to set it up. There are many things I do not understand and features that I have zero idea about...but for email, web, ftp and application serving, it works well.
We have 13 Macs, 2 Windows boxes and one UNIX box on the network.
Has anyone used SQL 2005? Has anyone had to connect thru Terminal Services to a Windows Server?

Hi John!
Using Terminal Services on a Windows server is common in corporate environments and solves a lot of issues where Macs can't run Windows-only software.
Since the Windows server will be the only Windows machine on your network and you only need it for a specialized purpose, you can probably get by with purchasing Windows Small Business Server Premium, which comes with a SQL Server. You'll have to ask the vendor if this version will work with their product. See this link on Microsoft's website http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/default.mspx.
Many third party database applications will facilitate the setup of the datbase with the SQL server, but they won't support the SQL software and its security. I'd advise hiring a contractor to help with the installation and setting up a backup (preferably someone that can become familiar with your environment and provide ongoing support).
Hope this helps! bill

SQL query with JSP and WML-parameters

Hey,
Could you help me?
I'm trying to do the following. WML deck card 1 send parameter to same WML deck's card help. I try to read the parameter with JSP in card help by putting the parameter to SQL query, but it doesn't work. I can read the parameter with WML in card help. I can also print the value of the parameter with JSP if I generate WML with JSP.
/*parameter sending from card 1 to card help*/
out.println("<go href='#helpcard'>");
out.println("<setvar name='valittukurssi' value='$(valittukurssi)'/>");
/*parameter read with WML in card help */
Valitse kurssi.
$valittukurssi
/'parameter read with JSP by generating WML with JSP*/
out.println("$valittukurssi");
/* SQL query with JSP */
ResultSet uudettulokset = uusilause.executeQuery("select * from kurssi where lyhenne='$valittukurssi'");
Thanks,
Rampe

You're problem is easy to fix. You're confusing WML variables with JSP variables. See below:
>
/*parameter sending from card 1 to card help*/
out.println("<go href='#helpcard'>");
out.println("<setvar name='valittukurssi'
value='$(valittukurssi)'/>");
Above you set a var that will work on the phone, not in JSP.
/*parameter read with WML in card help */
Valitse kurssi.
$valittukurssi
Yes the above does display the parameter, because it is a client side WML var, but you cannot use this variable in the JSP code (that's why your SWL fails).
/'parameter read with JSP by generating WML with
JSP*/
out.println("$valittukurssi");Here's you're problem, the above line is EXACTLY the same as the one before it. When the container parses through this JSP code it translates the above line to:
$valittukurssi on the WML page and the CLIENT uses it's local variable to display it.
What you need and want is to have a variable that can be used in JSP code and output to your WML page. Here's how it's done:
out.println("<go href='#helpcard'>");
String some_name = "valittukurssi";
out.println("<setvar name='"+some_name+"'
value='$("+some_name+")'/>");
//note that you may have to escape the ( and ) with a \
//so we displayed the variable above into the WML page, now we can use it in the SQL query:
/* SQL query with JSP */
ResultSet uudettulokset =
uusilause.executeQuery("select * from kurssi where
lyhenne='"+some_name+"'");//the end of the command is: " ' " ) ;
