SAP SQL 2008 Database Backup

Hi,
One of our client is taking the SAP SQL database backup using BRTOOL, backup happen on Standalone LTO 5.
They are taking backup of 1.4 TB in 1hr 30 Min.
I would like to know is it possible to achieve same as max write speed of LTO 5 in 140 MBPS, if we consider the are getting max throughput rate then too it should take around 3 hr 40 Min.
If it is possible then it would be grateful if someone can explain how.
Thanks & Regards
Mitt Gori

Hi Mitt,
You may refer the details shared under thread Full Database Backup in DB13 for MS SQL Server ... | SCN on configuration of backups using db13 for MSSQL.
What it comes to my mind is ..
1) Can you check whether you have SSDs configured for the database
2) What is the Tape write speed.
Note: SSD disks can drastically improve the backup times as it has excellent read/write performance over SAS disk.
Hope this helps.

SQL Server Management 6.5.1.0 and 6.5.4.0 does not discovery SQL 2008 databases on Windows 2003

SQL Server Management 6.5.1.0 and 6.5.4.0 does not discovery SQL 2008 databases on a custom instance name or when multiple SQL instances are installed on Windows 2003.
OS Version: Windows 2203 x64 with SP2
Database Version: 10.3.5869.0
The instance in this case: I01 is running on port 49168.
SQL Server Network Configuration | Protocols for I01 | IP Addresses | IPAll | TCP Port = 49168
The DB Engine class is discovered but not the "Tcp Port" property.
The database discovery script then fails as it is missing the 8th parameter; The Port.
Looking at the discovery script DiscoverSQL2008DBEngineDiscovery.vbs i see the following WMI query.
Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & computerName & "\root\Microsoft\SqlServer\" & SQL_WMI_NAMESPACE)
Set oQuery = oWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM ServerNetworkProtocolProperty
Using WMI Explorer if I connect to namespace: root\Microsoft\SqlServer\ComputerManagement10
and query "SELECT * FROM ServerNetworkProtocolProperty". There are no instances.
What am I missing or doing wrong?

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'

In the same directory we have several others databases with no problem at all, but this one in particular is the biggest one (>40 Gigs)
I looked online for help and ended knowing that its a commom problem with virtual servers, but this is not the case.
Any help would be Greatly Appreciated!!!

It looks like your database is corrupt.
There is some issue with this object - LOGISTICA.FCosto_Historico_Articulo.
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 12 consistency errors in table 'LOGISTICA.FCosto_Historico_Articulo' (object
ID 1067970981).
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 16 consistency errors in database 'DATAMART-antiguo'.
repair_allow_data_loss is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC
CHECKDB (DATAMART-antiguo).
Do you have backup? If so, restore the database.
Or
Fix the problem with allow data loss option

SQL Server Database backup

Hi Team ,
I have SQL Cluster 2012 server running with Couple of Critical data base instance . Each instance installed in different drive.
One of my application database is having mdf of size 1 Gb and ldf is 250 GB . Database is set to full recovery model.
Now I want to change recovery model to simple and want to shrink the los also. before than I want to take database backup.
I have 50 GB space left in drive .
i want to take full database backup on same drive .please let me know how much space i need on that drive to take full backup.
thanks
Ravi

There are two options for you here
1. Take transaction log backup and try shrinking the log file but you might have to take multiple transaction log backups to actually shrink the log file
2. If you are switching from full recovery to simple you dont need to take full backup reason is switching from full to simple breaks log chain so its better to have Transaction log backup and like Praveen suggested if you take transaction log backup with
compression it likely it would fit in free space. But you have to try.
3. This you have to do on your own risk: (If backup of log in point 2 fails) I dont think changing from full recovery to simple would cause any
data loss. So you can switch to simple shrink logs switch back to full and schedule frequent log backups
Reason why log grew so much because you did not took sufficient transaction log backups. So create maintenance plan which would take frequent log backups also if you dont want point in time recovery for this database let it be in simple recovery

SAP Production Systems Database backup failed

Dear Guru,
I have been facing a problem with our SAP Production system's oracle database backup for last three days. Our back up goes through TSM server. At night 10 pm we have schedule backup for whole offline + redo log backup, 11 pm check and update optimizer statistic and at 11:30 pm Check Database. For last three days above mentioned backup getting failed and we are not able to get such a details log by which i can understand the issue. But Our Development server and Quality server's backup which are scheduled at 12 am and 2 am, the both backup schedules finish successfully. And in morning all schedule backups of Production systems finish without any errors. The issues is coming only with Whole database backup + redo log Backup which schedule at night 10 pm. I have mentioned the log whatever i have got in below:
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job started
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job has exceeded its latest start date
07.02.2012     07:30:06     Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Above mentioned logs are showing 1day advance log where i have mentioned yesterdays log. That means it should shows 06.02.2012 instead of 07.02.2012 and time should be 22:00:00 instead of 07:20:06.
Our Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.0/ kernel release 701/BRBACKUP 7.00 (40)
Please Guide me.
Regards,
Samrat Chakraborty

OK,
this has nothing to do with brbackup or TSM.
You batchjob starts at 07:30 !!!
Means before that, you do not have any action at all.
Then the job crosschecks it has passed its intended startdate and terminates,
which is correct, since you do not like brbackup to shut down your DB at 07:30!
No brbackup is started at all, which is why you get no log and no tsm connect takes place.
I assume, you misconfigured some operationmodes and at 07:30 an OP-modeconfiguration
with batchjobs switches back in place so that the jobs do start too late.
Check RZ04 and the OP mode timetable
If it is not this, it has to be something else with the batch scheduler causing delay
or may be all BTC processes are busy, but this seems unlikely with a start at 07:30 sharp..

Cannot Connect to SQL 2008 Database Error

How to Re org the SQL 2008 database to have equal size data files

Hello everyone -
I have I/O issue with our production system (SAP ECC 6.0 on Windows 2008 and MSSQL 2008).
Following are my I/0 stats in DB02 (since DB Start)
ECPDATA1     E:     Data       25.779     28.053     4.689     1,056.68     36.297     23.326     2.515     45.301     14.43
ECPDATA2     E:     Data       23.143     24.979     4.68     593.297     17.971     12.448     1.238     47.663     14.518
ECPDATA3     G:     Data   9.17     9.807     3.477     1,018.69     36.144     21.938     2.457     46.434     14.712
ECPDATA4     F:     Data 10.985     11.788     2.69     148.512     4.777     3.248     0.314     45.722     15.201
ECPDATA5     F:     Data       14.746     16.164     2.676     162.39     6.693     3.679     0.432     44.139     15.491
ECPLOG1      D:     Log        5.337     27.081     4.916     26.962     26.264     0.037     1.919     726.928     13.688
ECPLOG2      F:     Log     0.755     17.582     0.487     35.472     35.161     0.042     2.637     845.998     13.334
The fourth column is ms/op which is very high and also asymmetrical for all the data files.
Also, The data files are not of equal size
ECPDATA1     106,173
ECPDATA2     59,588
ECPDATA3     105,036
ECPDATA4     14,992
ECPDATA5     16,491
ECPLOG1      1,025
ECPLOG2             3,199
So ECPdata1 and ECPdata3 are about 105 GB while #4 and #5 are 14 GB and 16 GB each. As per SQL best practices, all the Data files should be of equal size to get the best performance.
How do I make the data files with equal sizes ?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thank you
-TSB

Hi dudes!
The key here is that you manually grow your datafiles before the autogrown mechanism comes to play; in fact, SAP recommends setting the autogrow just to avoid the hypothetical case that should never arrive in which the DB administrator forgot about the database size and it ran out of space.
Otherwise, if you properly monitor and manage your DB you should always grant that at least 30% (to say) of free space is allocated in your datafiles. If you do so, the SQL Server engine should do the rest, as it follows a proportional filling strategy as you can read in SAP note 1238993.
In case your database is not still proportional, my advise is that you just manually grow the datafiles so that all them are the same size, and so SQL Server will do the rest. If you however need to addresss that immediately, you will need to reorganize your database, which is not just more sensitive and complicate, but also which involves some I/O intensive operations (check SAP note 159316).

SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

Hello all,
i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
Thank you

Hi Oscar,
Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components. The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem. If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
Best regards,
Matt

Need to take SQL Azure database backup into blob using dacpac services, the blob has to be encrypted.

We are able to take backup of our database into blob storage using dacpac services, but we need to encrypt the blob data. Please suggest the efficient way to do it.

Hello,
As per my understanding, Windows Azure Storage does not transparently encrypt data or provide any special encryption mechanisms. Azure Blob Storage protect the data by using a storage key to control access to all data in that Storage Account.
If you want to encrypt data of file inside Azure Blob Storage Services , you can refer to the following thread about same requirement:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsazure/en-US/23465a1e-1fce-481a-b375-6e2434186ea6/encrypt-sql-azure-blob-data?forum=windowsazuredata#bf6c9921-176e-4c76-b976-3b94c795cd16

Archiving data is bound to legal things depending on the country and the company you work. Setting up archiving is not following a few steps, you'd need to have a system where to put the archiving data.
