I have done a partial restore of a backup which leaves one of my data files
offline. I do not need this data file and would like to remove it from the
database. When I attempt to run ALTER DATABASE dbname REMOVE FILE filename I
recieve the following error:
"Cannot add, remove, or modify file 'filename' because it is offline."
Is there anyway to remove this file?
Thanks
You need to perform a couple of steps first.
1. Bring the datafile back online. I'm not sure what you mean by the file
is marked as offline.
2. Run DBCC SHRINKFILE with the EMPTYFILE option. This will remove data
from the file and keep SQL Server from placing data on the file.
3. Run the ALTER DATABASE command with the REMOVE FILE option.

Data Disappears on a RESTORE
I restore a database from one server to another using the RESTORE DATABASE statement followed by restoring all Tlogs.
The data in the retored database will be there for a few days but then
will just disapear!! I know it sounds crazy, but I have been retoring datbases from server to server and have not seen anything like this
before.
The database I am restoring is about 18 gb in size.
Any suggestions would be helpful as to why this might be happening.Originally posted by ToddBritt

Yes, after the restore I do a row count check followed by a DBCC CHECKDB -- could it have anything to do with the database being

Data Base Backup & Restore
We are in the process of migrating an application from an
Oracle data base to a SQL Server data base.
My DBA is telling me that with SQL Server he will not be
able to do a backup & restore at the 'alias' level like
he can now do with Oracle. He says he will have to do
an entire data base backup.
Is this true?In our current environment with our databases on Oracle,
we have one physical db for 1099 tax info. When it comes
to keeping the tax years separate, we set up different
aliases for each year...1099_01, 1099_02, etc. By doing
this, we are able to backup and restore at the alias
level. In case there is a problem with a
certain 'alias', we are able to restore just that
specific alias and not the entire db.
We would like to be able to do the same thing using SQL
Server, but it sounds like we may not be able to.
Any suggestions'

Data BackUp and Restore
hi,
pls tell me any step by step tutorial (with graphic presentation) to restore and backup the database on sql server 2005.
thank you.
The example below uses both theBACKUPandRESTORE statementsto make a copyof the Northwinddatabase.
The MOVE statement causes the dataandlogfile to be restoredto the specified locations.
TheRESTORE FILELISTONLY statementis usedto determine the numberand namesof the filesin thedatabase being restored.
The new copyof thedatabase is named TestDB.For more information, seeRESTORE FILELISTONLY.BACKUP DATABASE NorthwindTO DISK ='c:\Northwind.bak'RESTORE FILELISTONLYFROM DISK ='c:\Northwind.bak'RESTORE DATABASE TestDBFROM DISK ='c:\Northwind.bak'WITH MOVE'Northwind'TO'c:\test\testdb.mdf', MOVE'Northwind_log'TO'c:\test\testdb.ldf'GO
data and log files won't copy
I copied a database using backup and restore from Sql server 2000 to Sql server 2005. I noticed the data(mdf) and log(ldf) files did not copy. when I try to do a copy and past it gives me an error: cannot copy lof: it is being used by another person or program. Close all programs and try again. Does this mean I have to stop both servers to copy between them? Please help.
Hi,
you have to detach your database form your sql server 2000, and then attach them to the sql server 2005.
...
Detaching a database requires exclusive access to the database
USE master;
ALTER DATABASE dbname
SET SINGLE_USER;
GO
exec sp_detach_db @.dbname='dbname'
...
plz read BOL for more information: Detaching and Attaching Databases
|||If you are restoring from an actual backup file (which usually has a .bak extension), you would not need to copy the data and log files. The restore process creates new ones from the backup file.
There are two easy ways to go from 2000 on one DB Server to 2005 on another DB Server. One is to backup the SQL Server 2000 database to a .bak file, then copy the .bak file to the new server and use SQL Server 2005 to do the restore (on the new server). This converts the database to 2005 format.
The second way is to detach the database in SQL Server 2000 and then copy the data and log files to the new server and then use SQL Server 2005 to attach them. This also converts the database to 2005 format. Either way, once you have restored or attached a SQL Server 2000 database in SQL Server 2005, the database cannot go back to SQL Server 2000 format!
Finally, whichever method you use, you should change the compatibility level to 90 and run sp_UpdateStats on the upgraded database.
|||Thank you for all your help. This worked out fine.|||Hi,
First step :Take database offline or stop the sql server 2000 service.
After that you copy the .mdf and .ldf files.

Damaged backup file?
Hello
When I try to restore database from a specific backup file
using Enterprise Manager I get this error message:
+---+
| Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: HY000) |
+---+
| Location: recbase.cpp:1378 |
| Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec |
| SPID: 51 |
| Process ID: 1544 |
| |
| [ OK ] |
| |
+---+
The backup file contains 2 files: data file and a log file.
Restoring only data file is successful, but leaves the DB
in "Loading" state. Restoring only a log file to this partialy
restored DB is unsuccessful - generates the same error as in
full restore, and leaves DB in "Loading/Suspect" state.
Backup verification (used in SQL Query Analyzer):
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
FROM DISK = '...'
returns "The backup set is valid."
Restoring with SQL Suery Analyzer using statement:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FROM DISK = '...'
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'mf_test', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.

Is there any way to recover any data from this apparently damaged backup
file? Maybe there's a way to ignore the log file and have the DB in
usable state...

VERIFYONLY doesn't verify internal consistency of the backup. Essentially only that the file is
readable and that it is a SQL Server backup.

Yes, do only one restore, from the database backup and specify WITH RECOVERY.

Could you supply correct RESTORE statement? Cause:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Location: recbase.cpp:1378
Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec
SPID: 52
Process ID: 3652
Connection Broken
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Server: Msg 3032, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
One or more of the options (recovery) are not supported for this statement.
Review the documentation for supported options.
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH PARTIAL, RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1

Tried also some other statements. Seems like "RECOVERY" forces restore
of all files (also log file, which is damaged).
I do not know how to specify WITH RECOVERY in Enterprise Manager, and
how to specify single file ('xxx_Data' data file) to be restored in
RESTORE WITH RECOVERY statement. "SQL Server Books Online" aren't very
helpful in this case.

I did that (a day or something about) before posting the original post (and
re-registered few minutes ago getting "Please chose a more unique Nickname and
submit again" which means that this alias _is_ registered), so I do not know what
else should I do.
The link you gave is not entirely valid. Under this address:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...am.asp&SD=msdn
one can only find this information:
<info>
For security purposes, we have moved the registration page to the MSDN Subscriber
Downloads site located at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/
After you have access to Subscriber Downloads.
1. Select the What's Hot Link.
2. Select the Managed Newsgroup link.
3. Create your no-spam alias.
</info>
Using given address (http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/), and
the link "MSDN Managed Newsgroups" leading to http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/
one gets to a page with "Register" link, which is:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...am.asp&SD=msdn
so we end up circling around.
Only way to register is _not_ to follow the first instruction, and use "here"
link (https://msdn.one.microsoft.com/Subsc...NewsGroups.asp)
on "What's Hot" (in Managed Newsgroups section). Sometimes one has to use this
link twice before getting to the proper webpage.

OK. That is the answer I was waiting for. Maybe not very helpful, but concrete

When I try to restore database from a specific backup file
using Enterprise Manager I get this error message:
+---+

+---+
The backup file contains 2 files: data file and a log file.
Restoring only data file is successful, but leaves the DB
in "Loading" state. Restoring only a log file to this partialy
restored DB is unsuccessful - generates the same error as in
full restore, and leaves DB in "Loading/Suspect" state.
Backup verification (used in SQL Query Analyzer):
RESTORE VERIFYONLY

returns "The backup set is valid."
Restoring with SQL Suery Analyzer using statement:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]

gives:

Is there any way to recover any data from this apparently damaged backup
file? Maybe there's a way to ignore the log file and have the DB in
usable state...

VERIFYONLY doesn't verify internal consistency of the backup. Essentially only that the file is
readable and that it is a SQL Server backup.

Yes, do only one restore, from the database backup and specify WITH RECOVERY.

Could you supply correct RESTORE statement? Cause:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Location: recbase.cpp:1378
Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec
SPID: 52
Process ID: 3652
Connection Broken
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Server: Msg 3032, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
One or more of the options (recovery) are not supported for this statement.
Review the documentation for supported options.
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH PARTIAL, RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.

Tried also some other statements. Seems like "RECOVERY" forces restore
of all files (also log file, which is damaged).
I do not know how to specify WITH RECOVERY in Enterprise Manager, and
how to specify single file ('xxx_Data' data file) to be restored in
RESTORE WITH RECOVERY statement. "SQL Server Books Online" aren't very
helpful in this case.

I did that (a day or something about) before posting the original post (and

The link you gave is not entirely valid. Under this address:

one can only find this information:

OK. That is the answer I was waiting for. Maybe not very helpful, but concrete
and at least a bit official.

When I try to restore database from a specific backup file
using Enterprise Manager I get this error message:
+---+
| Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: HY000) |
+---+
| Location: recbase.cpp:1378 |
| Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec |
| SPID: 51 |
| Process ID: 1544 |
| |
| [ OK ] |
| |
+---+
The backup file contains 2 files: data file and a log file.
Restoring only data file is successful, but leaves the DB
in "Loading" state. Restoring only a log file to this partialy
restored DB is unsuccessful - generates the same error as in
full restore, and leaves DB in "Loading/Suspect" state.
Backup verification (used in SQL Query Analyzer):
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
FROM DISK = '...'
returns "The backup set is valid."
Restoring with SQL Suery Analyzer using statement:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FROM DISK = '...'
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'mf_test', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1

Is there any way to recover any data from this apparently damaged backup
file? Maybe there's a way to ignore the log file and have the DB in
usable state...
Hilarion> Backup verification (used in SQL Query Analyzer):

VERIFYONLY doesn't verify internal consistency of the backup. Essentially only that the file is
readable and that it is a SQL Server backup.

Yes, do only one restore, from the database backup and specify WITH RECOVERY.

Could you supply correct RESTORE statement? Cause:
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Location: recbase.cpp:1378
Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec
SPID: 52
Process ID: 3652
Connection Broken
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH RECOVERY
gives:
Server: Msg 3032, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
One or more of the options (recovery) are not supported for this statement.
Review the documentation for supported options.
RESTORE DATABASE [db_name]
FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = '...'
WITH PARTIAL, RECOVERY
gives:
Processed 2088 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Data' on file 1.
Processed 1 pages for database 'db_name', file 'xxx_Log' on file 1.
Server: Msg 3624, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
Location: recbase.cpp:1378
Expression: m_offBeginVar < m_SizeRec
SPID: 52
Process ID: 3652
Connection Broken
Tried also some other statements. Seems like "RECOVERY" forces restore
of all files (also log file, which is damaged).
I do not know how to specify WITH RECOVERY in Enterprise Manager, and
how to specify single file ('xxx_Data' data file) to be restored in
RESTORE WITH RECOVERY statement. "SQL Server Books Online" aren't very
helpful in this case.
Hilarion|||Seems you indeed have some corruption in your database backup (the log records therein). And SQL
server need those log records to give you a consistent state of the database. I suggest you open a
case with MS Support for this, they *might* have ways to get the database back...
