Database backups and retention?

Is there any way in Sqlserver to take a full backup and only on successful completion delete the previous full backup? I want to maintain a retention of 1 and have Sqlserver manage it without having to create a Maintainence History cleanup job that runs after the backup job.

That would ne a do-it-yourself solution. Main plans do not work like this. The main cleanup task is not tied to a pi backup task; unless you make it by only including one database and define the apropriate success/failure logic between the two in the SSIS package (using the designer). Perhaps Ola's backup proc has logic for this? http://ola.hallengren.com/Tibor Karaszi, SQL Server MVP | http://www.karaszi.com/sqlserver/default.asp | http://sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi

Full database backup and restore

I have a doubt on the syntax for a full database backup and restore. For a single schema, the syntax for backup & restore is :-
exp JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501/JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 owner=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 STATISTICS=none
log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_exp.log grants=y constraints=Y rows=y compress=N
file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501
imp <userid/password> file=<export dump file location> fromuser=<export user name> touser=<import user name>
grants=y constraints=Y rows=y log=<import log file location>
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.
regards

hi,
thanks, for your answer. I took a export of one schema of the database. But, when I tried to import the schema to the destination database, it showed
imported with errors with the existence of functions showing. The commands used by me for export and import are as follows:-
exp JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501/JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 owner=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 STATISTICS=none log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_exp.log grants=y constraints=Y rows=y compress=N file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501
imp JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501/JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 fromuser=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 touser=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 grants=y constraints=Y rows=y log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_imp.log
Do, we need to drop the existing schema before importing or somethinig else. Please, help.
regards

Database backup and Restore do not bring latest Schema/Data.

Hi,
I have scheduled a Full SQL backup for a LIVE database every evening. Now, if I restore this backup to Test environment, it does not bring the changes from LIVE. The script I am using is:
BACKUP DATABASE [XXX_Applications]
TO DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak' WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
NAME = N'XXXX_Applications-Full Database Backup',
SKIP,
NOREWIND,
NOUNLOAD,
COMPRESSION,
STATS = 10
GO
declare @backupSetId as int
select @backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where database_name=N'XXXX_Applications'
and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..backupset
where database_name=N'XXXX_Applications' )
--Check for backupSetId NULL
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak'
WITH FILE = @backupSetId, NOUNLOAD, NOREWIND
I had to manually go to SSMS->Tasks->SQL Backup. Restoring the manual backup brought all the latest changes from live.
Not sure what might be the issue with scripted backup.How do I make sure that Backup generated is correct?
Shady

BACKUP DATABASE [XXX_Applications]
TO DISK = N'\\XXXX\XXX_Applications.bak' WITH NOFORMAT,
NOINIT,
Hello Shady,
NOINIT means the backup file stays as it is and the new backup is appended to the backup file. With the default RESTORE Syntax you restore the first backup in the file, not the latest backup; therefore you get old data/Schema.
Change it to INIT to clear the backup file first before the backup is added or address the latest backup in the RESTORE command.

SQL Server Database backup and restore issue

Hi
I am trying to take a backup of the database and using restore to create its copy on the same server
Basically I am following this approach
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3912221/ms-sql-2008-create-a-copy-of-the-database-without-the-data
Using the restore command is giving me the following error
RESTORE DATABASE [TargetDB]
FROM DISK = N'D:\backup.bak' WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N'OriginalDB' TO N'D:\sql data\TargetDB.mdf',
MOVE N'OriginalDB' TO N'C:\SQL Data\TargetDB_1.ldf',
NOUNLOAD, STATS = 33
Logical file "ORIGINALDB" is not part of database "TARGETDB" . Use RESTOREFILELIST only to list
plz suggest as I checked the syntax is fine too as per
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190447%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
I am using SQL Server 2012

LogicalName cant be same for mdf and ldf. verify again with FILELISTONLY. Also you have put wrong logical name
MOVE N'OriginalDB' TO N'D:\sql data\TargetDB.mdf'
Please paste the output of
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:\backup.bak'

Newbie questions about Database replication, "backups", and sql version

Just created my first Sql Database using the "SQL Database Management Portal". A blast but three questions come to mind:
1. Is this DB automatically
"replicated"? (In other words, is DB "failover" or clustering, a feature of all newly created Azure databases?)
2. Our on-premise model is to make a daily DB backup which is saved to a nightly tape. If needed, we can restore a two-month old database backup under a new name to compare it with the current one. Does Sql Azure support this capability
or not? Can it be requested?
3. Which on-premise version of sql is "Sql Azure" closest to? (2014?)
TIA,
edm2
P.S. My database was created using the "web" edition.

Hi edm,
According to your description, you create a SQL Azure database in Azure platform. The replication feature is not supported by Microsoft Azure SQL database. If you want to sync the SQL Azure database and local database, you can use SQL Azure Data Sync service.
For more information, see:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_cloud_pilot/archive/2011/10/24/your-first-sql-azure-data-sync-step-by-step.aspx
In addition, if you have Web or Business Edition databases, you must create your own backup strategy. You can use database copy or Import and Export services to create copies of the data and export the file to an Microsoft Azure storage account. Meanwile,
Windows Azure SQL Database provides a mechanism for automating the process for exporting a database to BACPAC files on a set interval and frequency. For more information, see:
Schedule an Automated Export:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh335292.aspx#automate
Windows Azure SQL Database Backup and Restore strategy:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3057/windows-azure-sql-database-backup-and-restore-strategy/
Currently, Azure uses a special version of Microsoft SQL Server as its backend. It provides high availability by storing multiple copies of databases, elastic scale and rapid provisioning, when we check the version of SQL Server, it shows as follows.
Microsoft SQL Azure (RTM) - 11.0.9216.62

Backup and recovery questions

Hi,
I am a newbie in Oracle database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 and Oracle Linux and I have questions regarding backup and recovery.
I used the “Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup” and have it run nightly to back up to local disk. In the Backup Setting, on the Retention Policy, I selected “Retain backup that are necessary for a recovery to any time within the specified number of days (point-in-time recovery) day = 7”
With the setting above, I checked the “Manage Current Backups” and I have many back sets for SPfiles, controlfiles, datafiles, and archivelogs for the last several days. However, for image copies, I have only one set and it get over write nightly. With the configuration above, is that true that I can only recover to any point in last 24 hours?
My goal is to be able to recover any “point-in-time” in the past 5 days, should I change my Retention Policy to “Retain at least the specified number of full backups for each datafile” to 5 backups (each full daily backup)? Please provide some advices. Thanks

By looking the following, it looks like by default its 24 hours but it depends upon the recovery window you choose.
Enterprise Manager makes it easy to set up an Oracle-suggested backup strategy for backups to disk that protects your data and provides efficient recoverability to any point in the a recovery window of your choosing. (In the simplest case, examined in this section, this window is 24 hours.) The Oracle-suggested strategy leverages Oracle's incremental backup and incrementally-updated backup features to provide faster backups than whole database backups, and faster recoverability than is possible through applying database changes from the archived log to your datafiles.
The Oracle-suggested backup strategy is based on creating an image copy of your database. This copy is rolled forward by means of incrementally updated backups. Oracle Enterprise Manager schedules RMAN backups jobs for you to run during the overnight hours.
For each datafile, the strategy calls for backups as follows:
At the beginning of day 1 of the strategy (the time the first scheduled job actually runs), an incremental level 0 datafile copy backup. It contains the datafile's contents at the beginning of day 1. In a restore-and-recovery scenario, the redo logs from day 1 can be used to recover to any point during day 1.
At the beginning of day 2, an incremental level 1 backup is created, containing the blocks changed during day 1. In a restore-and-recovery scenario, this incremental level 1 can be applied to quickly roll forward the level 0 backup to the beginning of day 2, and redo logs can be used to recover to any point during day 2.
At the beginning of each day n for days 3 and onwards, the level 1 backup from the beginning of day n-1 is applied to the level 0 backup. This brings the datafile copy to its state at the beginning of day n-1. Then, a new level 1 is created, containing the blocks changed during day n-1. In a restore-and-recovery scenario, this incremental level 1 can be applied to the datafile rolled forward on day n-1 to the beginning of day n, and redo logs can be used to recover the database to any point during day n.
The datafile copies used in the Oracle-suggested backup strategy are tagged with the tag ORA$OEM_LEVEL_0. The level 1 incremental backups for use in this strategy are created for use with datafile copies that are so labelled. You can safely implement other backup strategies without concern for interference from the backups for the Oracle suggested strategy.
There are also Oracle-suggested strategies that use tape backups along with disk backups, but those are beyond the scope of this chapter.

Oracle Backup and Recovery 101: where can I get more information?

Hey everyone. I'm a pretty new Oracle DBA and backup and recovery is something I want to learn as much about as I can.
I read a blog about "how to be a good DBA" and it really drove home the importance of backups. I know how important they are, I just want to learn more.
What I mean is, I understand a lot of the high level concepts. It is pretty much straight forward. What I am looking for is something that really goes down in the internals of what is going on behind the scenes so I know what is going on.
I thought it would be extremely beneficial for me to learn about user backups. Granted, RMAN is the direction my company is heading to, but right now, we are doing user made backups. My thinking is that if I can get a solid grip and understanding of backup and recovery, user made backups, it will make the transition to RMAN much easier. That way, when I am working in RMAN, issue a command to do backup, I know the equivalent of a user backup and what is going on.
I hope that makes sense.
Is there a recommended book that goes over backup and recovery in depth?
I'd like to learn about all the user-made backup commands that can be executed at the command line (example, putting a tablespace in backup).
Since backups are essential to the life of a DBA, I thought the more I know, the better off I would be.

You can always find good information from Oracle document site,
Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Basics

Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/toc.htm
User managed backup is quite different from RMAN backup. For RMAN backup you need to get familiar with the RMAN command syntax and configure.

Full Database Backup in DB13 for MS SQL Server databases

Hello,
We have some SAP systems using the MS SQL Server database. I want to know if it is possible to setup the Full Database Backup option in transaction DB13 to store the files in a hard disk space.
I already did this type of configuration in SAP systems in Oracle databases and for this I used the init<SID>.sap where we can put all the configuration, for instance the disk path where we want to save the backup files! But for MS SQL Server databases, in DB13, I don´t know how to do that, when I add the "Full Database Backup" option in DB13, this show me some options but only for tape, but I don´t want to store the backup files in tapes, I want to store/save the files on the server disk itself or else to an external disk but I don´t see where I can set this way of storage!
This is what you see in DB13 (when using a MS SQL Server database) in "Full Database Backup" and as you see I only have options for TAPE not for a disk or other type of storage! How can I do that? (if that is possible):
Can you help me please?
Kind regards,
samid raif

Hello Raja
Sorry for the delay of my answer! Many thanks for that tip, it helps a lot and it solve the last error/problem that I reported here, in fact, the problem was we had named the device with two words containing a space. So we removed that space from the backup device (in SQL management studio) with one word only and the job runs successfully without any errors!
It works in Development and Quality systems but in our Production system (AM1) the Full backup option in DB13 stopped with the following error, in fact the error is on verification of backup, it means that the Full backup finished with success, but when it does the backup verification, the job in DB13 stops with an error, the following one:

Automate backup and restore

Hi All,
I want to automate backup and restore operation in T-sql script I need to give resource server,database and backup file location as input and then I need to restore that backup in differenet server so I want to give destination server as input too.

Database backup strategy(MS sql server 2005, Winodws 2003, SAP ECC 6.00)

<b>    I want to implemente before go live, backup system in my company.</b>
We have received backup schedule from our implementation partner. Our backup system is as follows.
Backup device is HP Surestore Autoloader.
Cartridge capacity is 100/200GB
Backup software is Veritas (version 8.6)
Note: Through this we take backup of our legacy system and it takes around 3 1/2 hour to 4 hours to take backup of 60 GB of our legacy data.
     Right now the problem is our backup software version is old and i even believe, the hardware we have is not sufficient to take daily database backup and fortnightly, SAP system backup.
    The only solution to the problem i can see is
1) to go for another backup device exclusively for SAP system
2) Even go for SQL Agent software used to take backup of SAP system thorugh Veritas.
3) Even upgrade my Veritas version.
<b>   Its a request to GURUS</b>
1) Is the solution, i am thinking to this issue is correct.?? If no then please advice me
2) Please tell me the best backup system in your opinion for my above mentioned system.
Thanks Gurus

Hello,
A indication of the size of each database would be helpful.
However, its NOT a good idea to take only one on line backup a week. What if you have a tape error and cant recover a TL? You have no chance for recovery. This is not best practice. Can the business except a 4,5 or even 6 days loss of data - id guess not.
This is what id do if you don't want to purchase a new device, I would take an online backups from SQL to disk every night - this would be a separate disk! From the disk you can the pick up the backup to take at a time to suit that wont impact the existing backup. Plus you always have two copies of the backup. One on disk, one on tape.
My normal transaction log strategy is similar, again backup to disk, every hour on a production system. Then after midnight move the existing 24 logs into an archive folder. This folder would also be picked up by the existing device at a suitable time before being moved to a 'saved' folder and deleted the next day. Again you always have multiple copies of the data. two on disk, two on tape.

Backup and recovery tablespace.

Hi all,
one is production server and second one is totally fresh server. I had created database manually.
We are migrating the database from hpux to hpux but from one server which is in boston and second server is on chicago.
which is the fast way to do it.
is there any good documents which i can refer?.
thanks a lot.

Logical steps for database backup and recover.
1)     Take RMAN full backup of the 5 customer tablespaces being migrated from
H1 to the mounted Data Domain Server
Read the script for convert tablespace. :Convert data files for non asm server.
2)     Restore table space to the tower hpux server for the new database.
3)     Take an incremental backup from HPUX Burlington. Then repeat step 2nd again for the restore tablespace.
Physical steps for database backup and recover.
1)     This will take a Full backup of table space automatic.      TABLESPACE BACKUP=

     tag tbs_users_read_only
     convert tablespace (table space_name) format '(location for backup tablespace
/backups/ (NEW NAME)tbs_2_%U.dbf '
     (tablespace users)(TABLESPACE SYSTEM)(REST);
     release channel d1; }
2) At HTTOWER database make a table space offline and restore and recover the system.
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name offline;
restore tablespace tablespace_name;
recover tablespace tablespace_name; (change no);
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name online;

Privileges required for database backup with RMAN

Hello,
We have 10g R2 on Solaris box. We use RMAN for backup and use the SYS account on the database to connect and take the backup.
Are there specific privileges that are required to take the database backup , so that I do not use the SYS account or the syspassword in the RMAN script.
I want to create an account and give only the privileges required to take the database backup and recover .
Thanks

I think RMAN needs the SYSDBA privilege, so you won't gain much by switching from SYS to another user.
You don't need to store sys/password in a script. You can just :-
rman target / catalog xxx/yyy@catalog

Does any one have good idea about the backup and recovery georaster table?

for backup and recovery, please follow the standard procedure of general database backup and recovery. you need to backup both the georaster table and all related RDT tables.
