Backup database - SQL Server - sql

I need make a backup of my SQL Server database. When I try, I get this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Read on "c:..." failed: 23(...)(Data error (cyclic redundancy error))
Now, I'm trying to run this command:
DBCC CheckDB ('MYDATABASE') WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS
But I get this error
Msg 8921, Level 16, State 1, Line 18
Check terminated. A failure was detected while collecting facts. Possibly tempdb out of space or a system table is inconsistent. Check previous errors.
What can I do? I just need make a backup.
I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

First of all, check the Service Account used for the SQL Server Instance from Services.
Ensure the service account have enough permission for read/write at the exact location for Backup in Physical Disk.
Ensure the the user (the user you using to login in SQL Instance) have enough permission to perform backup.
Final option to recover the data from the database is create another database with same tables (blank) in different machine in different SQL instance, then Export all the database to new database using Management studio (Right click on the Database > task > Export Data)

Imported SQL Server Database Username

When importing a SQL Server database from another machine using a .BAK file through the restore option, the process appears to be successful and completes with the database now in the list within SQL Server Management Studio. But one thing I need clarified please.
When the Restore dialogue is importing the database a row of fields are displayed including "Name", "component", "Type" etc. But the last field is the username. Is this field simply showing the owner of the database where it originated from or is this value used with relevance in the imported database?
I looked in database_name >> Security > Users in SSMS but the user shown in the restore process is not listed

SQL restore database from .bak to a different machine - Errors

I am trying to restore a database from a backup I got on the hosting server.
I have checked the logical names using:
restore FILELISTONLY from
disk = 'c:\DBBackup2_17092013.bak'
and used them to perform the following query:
restore database StadlerTest
from disk = 'c:\DBBackup2_17092013.bak'
with replace,
move 'Stadler_base' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\StadlerTest.mdf',
move 'Stadler_base_log' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\StadlerTest.ldf'
I run the above two queries from master after I created the empty database StadlerTest but I am getting a series of error that sound like these (translation from italian):
""Message 3634, level 16, state 1, row 1
The operating system returned error '5(Access denied.)' during the attempt to 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\StadlerTest.mdf'.""
I am doing something wrong but I do not know what is wrong, I already checked several answers given on SO and other sites but I am not getting it right. Some help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like a permissions error. SQL Server may not have permissions to create files there. Remember, SQL Server is trying to create the database under its service account, not your windows login. Check the permissions of the SQL Server account, found with all other logins under Security -> Logins in management studio.
However, you should not create databases on the C drive. If they grow and the C drive runs out of space your whole computer and operating system will tank. If at all possible, put the database files on a different drive. If this is just for personal testing use, that is fine but not for any important system.

How do I copy SQL Server 2012 database to localdb instance?

I'm looking to copy a SQL Server 2012 Standard database to my localdb instance. I've tried the wizard which complains that localdb isn't a SQL Server 2005 or later express instance. I also did a backup/restore but upon the restore in my localdb I get the following error...
Running this...
RESTORE DATABASE CSODev
FROM DISK = 'C:\MyBckDir\CSODev.bak'
WITH MOVE 'CSOdev_Data' TO 'C:\Users\cblair\CSOdev_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'CSOdev_Log' TO 'C:\Users\cblair\CSOdev_Log.ldf',
REPLACE
Error message I get...
Processed 8752 pages for database 'CSODev', file 'CSOdev_Data' on file 1.
Processed 5 pages for database 'CSODev', file 'CSOdev_Log' on file 1.
Msg 1853, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The logical database file 'CSOdev_Log' cannot be found. Specify the full path for the file.
Msg 3167, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE could not start database 'CSODev'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
The database ends up in "Recovery Pending" mode. It seems like it has issues with the log file. I have tried 2 different backups in case one was just corrupted.
There is known limitation (a real bug, in fact) for localDB. It will fail any RESTORE with MOVE whenever your database files are located in different folders.
You have to restore in the original folders (no MOVE). Use cmd tool such as SUBST if you need to fake a drive:/path.
I had the same problem. What eventually did work was this:
Trying to restore the database (getting the error in the OP)
Detaching the database
Reattaching the database
What happened in the last step was that SSDT performed an upgrade of the data files, that apparently was in an older format. When that was finished, the database started working without any problem!
I had the same issue, and after doing a little online research I came across an ingenious way to get it to work (albeit quite hacky). Basically, you:
Create a SqlLocalDb instance (SqlLocalDb c tmp -s).
Restore the database as you did above (e.g., SqlCmd -E -S <localdb connection string> -Q "RESTORE DATABASE ...").
Stop the SqlLocalDb instance (SqlLocalDb p tmp).
Delete the SqlLocalDb instance (SqlLocalDb d tmp).
Create a new SqlLocalDb instance (SqlLocalDb c persistent -s).
Create the database in the new instance by attaching it (SqlCmd -E -S <persistent connection string> -Q "Create Database <dbname> On (Filename = '<Mdf file location'), (Filename = '<Ldf Filename'>) For Attach".
And hopefully it should work. See here for original idea.
Edit: Added Jason Brady's correction of the create command.
Try scripting your database as schema and data and then running the script locally.
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'D:\SQLBackups\yourdatabase.BAK'
ALTER DATABASE yourdatabasename
SET SINGLE_USER WITH
ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
RESTORE DATABASE yourdatabasename
FROM DISK = 'D:\SQLBackups\yourdatabase.BAK'
with replace,
move 'logical name from file stream' to
'C:\yourdatabase.mdf',
move 'logical name from file stream' to 'C:\Yourdatabase.ldf'
ALTER DATABASE Qatar_DB SET MULTI_USER
Same problem, thanks for the help.
My local database is MS SQL 2014.
Open "SQL Server 2014 Management Studio"
Right click the database, go to "Tasks", click "Take Offline"
Detach the database
Attach the database
It work for me.
After you backup the database, you can restore the database without error.
Thanks.
I had the same problem. Try running visual studio as Administrator and try the following command
RESTORE DATABASE CSODev
FROM DISK = 'C:\MyBckDir\CSODev.bak'
WITH NORECOVERY, MOVE 'CSOdev_Data' TO 'C:\Users\cblair\CSOdev_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'CSOdev_Log' TO 'C:\Users\cblair\CSOdev_Log.ldf',
UPDATE: This did not work exactly!
Although the above statement does not produce any errors and completes successfully, the database remains in "PENDING RECOVERY" state and cannot be accessed in any way. When I tried to 'RESTORE WITH RECOVER' to bring the database online I got the same error as in the question above.
So in my case I ended up restoring the backup to a DEV server I have running with MSSQL 2008 R2 and then chose: Tasks -> Generate Scripts -> chose objects to script & Next -> click on "Advanced" button -> select "types of data to script" : Schema & data.
Now run the generated script against the local db.
Try these scripts (example with adventureworks2012 that I personally tested):
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'c:\temp\adv2012.bak'
This will bring up the filenames as:
AdventureWorks2012 C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQL2012RTM\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2012.mdf
AdventureWorks2012_log C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQL2012RTM\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2012_log.ldf
Use these filenames to cinstruct your final script as this:
RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
FROM DISK = 'C:\temp\adv2012.bak'
WITH MOVE 'AdventureWorks2012' TO 'C:\cnom_WS\Local-Databases\AdventureWorks\AdventureWorks2012.mdf',
MOVE 'AdventureWorks2012_log' TO 'C:\cnom_WS\Local-Databases\AdventureWorks\AdventureWorks2012_log.ldf',
REPLACE;
BTW I run these through Visual Studio (SQL Server Object explorer), but I strongly suspect this could be run on SSMS easily ;-)
You can do it manually. this can be done by using dot net and opening two kinds of connections and forwarding data from one of them to the other. but this needs to create the same types of columns in the local one.
You can check the importing options of MS Access 2007

Prevent MS SQL 2005 master DB from being corrupted

I am trying to resolve what cause the following corruption.
2011-06-29 10:47:26.42 spid5s Starting up database 'master'.
2011-06-29 10:47:26.53 spid5s Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1.
2011-06-29 10:47:26.53 spid5s The log scan number (216:72:1) passed to log scan in database 'master' is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup.
2011-06-29 10:47:26.53 spid5s Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online.
I can find plenty of threads and information on how to recover databases when master db is corrupt. I can recover them succussfully.
HOWEVER, this is not very satisfactory for customers to have perform these operations. I have been able to examine event log files of when the corruption occurs. From there I can see server working fine then computer is shutdown, few hours later the computer is switched on and master db is corrupted.
Any help greatly appreciated
One of:
disk corruption. Run chkdsk etc with SQL Server shutdonw
someone has been playing with the MDF/LDF files
The master DB starts once when SQL Server starts up: so why did this happen? Patch? BSOD? PEBKAC? Note: the MDF/LDF files won't be locked when SQL is shutdown...
I can't recall a corrupt master, ever, unless it's one of the 3 reasons above

Restore a database using SQL Server 2005

I have backed up a database into a file using SQL Server from my old server.
Now i would like to restore that file into a new database on my new server.
I created a DB with the same name , I am getting an error saying :
"The Backup set holds a backup of the database other than the existing '*****' database"
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Add a WITH REPLACE option to your restore:
Specifies that SQL Server should
create the specified database and its
related files even if another database
already exists with the same name
Drop the new database - it's sitting in the way of the one you want to restore.
THen when you try to restore your old database, select the file to restore from, and the name will magically appear in the "to database" destination field in SSMS.
When you restore a database from backup, you are creating a new database on the SQL instance. If a database by that name is already present on that SQL instance, you will get an error--unless you select the option to overwrite any existing database, in which case the old database will be wiped out and replaced.
I was having the same issue, but even when putting WITH REPLACE, the error occurred. I had an empty database with the same name as the back up, but the problem was my .trn file I was using to backup from had two backup sets and I was choosing to restore from the full database AND the transaction log. I chose only the Full Database and it worked.
