SQL Server Backup Script

Hello all,
not sure if I'm on the right thread but if not please do point me to the correct one.
basically I have a script that run every end of the month to do a backup of a database (Detach, Mount a new, and move the database to a new
location) bu since this month this is coming back with an error when running it. as far as i know nothing has changed since two or three months ago but this is not longer working.
Assistance is really needed. here.
Here is my code but this is now coming back with
Msg 5105, Level 16, State 4, Server PRITL1, Line 1
Device activation error. The physical file name
'E:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\Syslogd.mdf' may be incorrect.

Bill thanks for that,
this is actually an SQL express edition and not a full SQL server.
Environment:
Databases will be detached, copied to from E:\SQL\MSSQL\Data\ to a shared location and then mount black database foles .MDF
and .LDF files to the SQL express and then restart the kiwi syslog applications.
why not powershell? well I've inherited this and machine is a 2003 server and we do not install PS on all machines except
if they are needed.
SQLServer Express comes with tools to backup the database. Post is SQLServer forum to learn how to set up and use SQLExpress tools.
SQLExpress has support in PowerShell for managing the server.
Here si on emethod posted by Microsoft that is useful. Methods using the scheduler and other tools are available.

How to find sql server backup was taken under compression mode

Hello,
How to find SQL server backup was taken under compression mode ? I have disabled the Compress Mode backup setting but I want to make sure the backup is taken without compression.
Is there a script for that?
Thanks
JK

I have disabled the Compress Mode backup
That is only a default setting, in backup command you can always overwrite it to a different value.

Backing up .mdf's and .ldf's using hard drive backup utility deleting SQL Server backup devices...

I am a software developer using Windows 8.1, Visual Studio 2013, and SQL Server 2014. I have a number (30+) of SQL Server databases that I use in my development and support activities.
Every time I run a backup (full or incremental) all of the backup devices in my instance of SQL Server 2014 are being deleted. I can add them all back in (a time-consuming and irritating process after about the 5th time), and the very next time I run either
the Acronis Backup and Paragon Hard Drive Backup against the volume (D:) that contains all of the .mdf and .ldf files, all of the backup devices are again deleted.
I hope someone can give me some idea of how to get around this problem or how to eliminate it completely. Should I not be using these types of backup utilities to copy the .mdf's and .ldf's? I've just never seen backup devices be deleted from SQL
Server. I have dumped the contents of the backup devices data within SQL Server and the rows are definitely gone after the either of the backups run.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this problem. It is very time-consuming and seems pretty silly to me -- but it's happening nonetheless.

The last backup location you use is never stored in sys.backup_devices. That's an instance-wide table for registering shared backup locations, mosly for tape backups in the old days.
Per-database backup history is stored in msdb, and AFAIK the database backup dialog in SSMS is pre-populated with a location from msdb. It looks like it runs this query
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT
bkpmf.media_family_id AS [ID],
bkpmf.family_sequence_number AS [FamilySequenceNumber],
bkpmf.media_count AS [MediaCount],
bkpmf.logical_device_name AS [LogicalDeviceName],
bkpmf.physical_device_name AS [PhysicalDeviceName],
CASE WHEN bkpmf.device_type > 100 THEN bkpmf.device_type - 100 ELSE bkpmf.device_type END AS [BackupDeviceType],
CAST(CASE WHEN bkpmf.device_type > 100 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS bit) AS [IsBackupDevicePermanent],
bkpmf.physical_block_size AS [PhysicalBlockSize]
FROM
msdb.dbo.backupmediaset bkpms
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily bkpmf ON bkpmf.media_set_id=bkpms.media_set_id
WHERE
(bkpms.media_set_id=@_msparam_0)',N'@_msparam_0 nvarchar(4000)',@_msparam_0=N'3'
So it's possible that your backup software is purging that table, eg by runningmsdb.dbo.sp_delete_database_backuphistory.
Or perhaps more likely, your backup software is adding data to the SQL Server backup history that prevents SSMS from pre-populating the backup dialog with your last TSQL backup location.
In any case, you don't need to manually take the bakcups through SSMS every day. You can just save a script of your backup commands (by hitting the Script button on the backup dialog) and run that. Or create a SQL agent job to run the script
or use a database maintence plan.

Problem: VSS error with 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' installed

When 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' is installed, shadow copies cannot be enable and backups fail. When attempting to enable shadow copies, we get a "volsnap" error: "The shadow copies of volume X were aborted because
of a failed free space computation". After uninstalling the "Tool", VSS works. Reinstalling "Tool" causes the problem to return.
While the error suggests a space issue, there is plenty of space on the server's two volumes. Additionally, another 100GB volume was added and VSS storage was allocated to it; still received the error.
Issue seems to point to 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool'.
Environment: Hyper-V guest: "Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard" with "SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard". Using "Azure Storage" for SQL backups.
Suggestions?

Hello,
Yes, we have a confirmed interference between the tool and the VSS Framework. This was identified very recently and is under investigation by the product group. Since the issue is within the filter driver shipped by the tool, that unfortunately means that
you currently need to choose between the tool and a working VSS Framework. If the latter is more important, then uninstall the tool (that will require a restart).
We apolologize for the inconvenience. I'm going to try to get the home page of the tool updated to avoid other situations like yours. Hopefully we should see a new version of the tool soon.
As a side note, recent versions of SQL Server can directly use Azure Storage as backup target, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.110).aspx.

SQL Server backup on disk from DB13 in 6.20

Hello,
is it possible to perform database backups on disk (remote and local) in transaction DB13? Is the Enterprise Manager the only way to perform backups on disks?
The only media type available in DB13 is 'Tape' and I can't change this option (maybe there is no option). SAP Library provides confusing information, as it states that bakcup on disk is possible in DB13, but also points to the documentation of MS SQL Server in order to achieve it.
We have WAS 6.20 in 4.7 ES 1.10 with MS SQL Server 2000.
Thank you.
Antonio Sánchez.

I think there is something called as virtual devices in enterprise manager which can be configured as TAPE device.
This virtual TAPE could be a actual TAPE or a DISK.
Try configuring it and see if it is visible in DB13.
We had done this 2 years ago, don't remember it properly.
good luck.
regards,
siddhesh

PeopleSoft - SQL Server clone script

I am working for a county government as a consultant for PeopleSoft using SQL Server. When they restore a DEV instance from PROD, they have to manually stop the web server, app server and batch server, then they do the restore. Afterward they have to change
all references to PROD in the cloned DEV instance. Everything is done manually and takes a couple of hours.
Can anyone point me to scripts for PeopleSoft restores that automate bringing down/up the web, app and batch servers and all the other tasks so they don't have to be done manually?
Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid! John 'Duke' Wayne
Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stupid! John 'Duke' Wayne

This question should be posted on PeopleSoft support forum as you are asking scripts to bring down app, web and batch servers and proprietary tasks of cleaning
up the data within tables.
That being said, a quick search on the internet will provide helpful links like below: http://www.erpassociates.com/peoplesoft-corner-wiki/peoplesoft-administration/cloning-a-peoplesoft-database.html

Script does everything perfect except for the backup not being incremental/differential - it just creates a different folder each iteration that it puts the backup into.
I would appreciate if someone could go through and let me know what we might be doing wrong - why we are not able to get this job to be incremental/differential.
Thanks in advance.

Hre are all of the options for Windows Backup:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706670.aspx
If you can find an incremental backup naywhere in the options then I will admit I have missed something.
The old Windows Backup, pre-2008, could do incremental backups. The newer backup system is minimal and serves different purposes.
The question about how to use a subsystem of Windows is NOT a scripting question. It is a "how-to" for a Windows component.
If you do not understand the scrip tyou posted then I recommend finding someone with sufficient understanding of Windows and the new backup Cmdlets to help you top understand how they work.
Here is the Microsoft description of Windows Server Backup:
Windows Server Backup consists of a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools, and Windows PowerShell cmdlets that provide a complete solution for your day-to-day backup and recovery needs. You can use Windows Server Backup to back
up a full server (all volumes), selected volumes, the system state, or specific files or folders—and to create a backup that you can use for bare metal recovery. You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the system state. And, in case
of disasters like hard disk failures, you can perform a bare metal recovery. (To do this, you will need a backup of the full server or just the volumes that contain operating system files, and the Windows Recovery Environment—this will restore your complete
system onto your old system or a new hard disk.)
You can use Windows Server Backup to create and manage backups for the local computer or a remote computer. And, you can schedule backups to run automatically.
Windows Server Backup is intended for use by everyone who needs a basic backup solution—from small business to large enterprises—but is even suited for smaller organizations or individuals who are not IT professionals.
It specifically states that only a full server or selected file,device backup is possible. There is no statement of incremental backup. Windows Server backup is intended for server recovery.
If you type "help Set-WBVssBackupOptions
-full" you will see that there are only two options "full" and "copy".
Please post your issues in the WS2008 or the WS2012 forum to get more information on how the Windows Server backup service works.

How to find the existing sql server backup plan/schedule is there a script for that?

Friends,
Is there a easy way to find out in SQLServer (for All DB's) what is the current backup plan/schedule ? is there a script for that?
Thanks,
Karthikeyan Jothi

How to connect to SQL Server through Script Task?

Experts,
I want to do bulk copy from one database to another database (which is on another different box).
I was trying to follow below link,
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlbulkcopy.bulkcopytimeout(v=vs.110).aspx
but cannot connect to the source neither to target database.
Can somebody help me with the sample connection string example and also via using existing connection manager?
Thank You

I even tried with your VB code but still package is failing, here is the error message:-
Error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection'.
Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.

Hi,
How big is database ? Does F drive has enough space on it. Issue does not seems with SQL Server backup it is with F drive or network connecting Server to drives.
Can you give more information about F drive is it a SAN, Local disk ?
If SQL server backup would have been issue it would have not processed uptill 70 % ( unles its bug). First error message with OS error 5 means access denied. Ater then you gave necessary rights and now backup issue is not due to SQL Server but while writing
to F drive some unusual thing is happeing which is causing backup to fail.Can you also involve SAN team as well.
** SAME DATABASE BACKUP IS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY ON OTHER DRIVE **
Does this mean backup of same database completes successfully on other drive if so it is a SAN issue or connection issue between SAN and server
Is SQL server 2008 updated to latest service pack ? Why do you use 80 compatibility mode. Although these questions are not realted to backup

C# application to execute both oracle and sql server script files.

Hi All,
I am suppose to develop an application using c# which can execute oracle script files as well as sql server script files based on some user's choice.
Both the script files(oracle/sql server) contains scripts to create tables, create views and create functions.
What is the best way to do this and which existing c# functions should is use.
Thanks in advance.

I am suppose to develop an application using c# which can execute oracle script files as well as sql server script files based on some user's choice.
You can use SQL Plus for Oracle. You can have a C# program that issues commands for scripts for table, views, triggers creation and the whole 10 yards to SQL Plus,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/qstart.htm
https://www.google.com/#q=sql+plus
I started writing a program to use SQL Plus to run the scripts, but cI ame to the conclusion that it was a waste of my time.
A tool called OSM, an Oracle, tool gives a list of script files that need to be run do to a change in a script file based on file timestamp. You can copy the list doing a copy/past operation and drop it into SQL Plus's Command line, and SQL Plus runs the
scripts.
For MS SQL Server, you have this, which you can run from a C# program too.
http://www.webfactory-world.de/wfknowledgebase/wfknowledgebase_wf3.3/Content/AdditionalWindowsSettings/Tutorials/UpdatingSQLDBFromCommandLine.htm
I would consider using the above from a C# program a waste of time too.
I look at it this way. If the user doesn't have database admin experience and know how to use DB admin tools, then they have no business doing anything with a database - period.
BTW, the Invoke statement in VB or C# will run SQL Plus or SQL Server command line tool.

Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
backup databases.
Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

How to attach .mdf file to sql server 2008 EXPRESS

I have .mdf files created using SQL SERVER management studio 2012 in another computer and wish to attach the same to SQL SERVER 2008 EXPRESS in another computer. How should I do so? I tried this method :How
to: Attach a Database File to SQL Server Express but then it shows an error that the database cannot be created due to compatibility issues.
Msg 948: The database xyz cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downward path is not supported..
Any help??

You are trying to attach SQL Server 2012 database files to SQL Server 2008 R2 which is not allowed, you either need to upgrade your SQL Server 2008 to 2012 or alternatively you can generate all scripts from SQL Server 2012 and execute it in SQL Server
2008 R2.
You can refer below link to how to generate script.
