Do Bamboo Backup includes deleted plan info(config, scripts)? - bamboo

I, unfortunately, deletes the plan. How can I get that back. I tried to configure it manually but the documentation is not clear so i need it back for sure. Any suggestions?

I you did a backup before plan removal - then start new instance of Bamboo and use that backup file during installation.

Bamboo - export plans from one Bamboo instances, move them to another Bamboo instance?

Is there a way to export plans from one Bamboo instances, move them to another Bamboo instance? I researched a little, looks they have no plan yet though a JIRA has been raised. I just want to confirm that this is the case, and at the moment there's no way you can export your plans from one Bamboo instance, and move them to another? Another scenario is back up the plans, if your running Bamboo instance corrupted, you can restore the plans from this backup.

Zipping and moving SQL backups - Powershell

I am having issues getting a script of mine to work and need some asstiance.
The goal of the script is to take SQL backups, ZIP them using 7zip, them move them to a NAS. After the move, the original backup is deleted, but not before confirming the name and size.
You can find my script here.
If there's a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do or an already built script I could be pointed to, that would be great!

SQLServer 2012 Installed copy showing problems:

My problem is like this: I had a copy of SqlServer 2012 installed on my machine. It's been there for over 3 years without any glitches at all. Just 4-5 days ago, a problem sprouted up. When I started Management Studio it told me that
msdb got corrupted so it cannot be opened.
The complete message is something like this:
Cannot display policy health state at the server level, becuase the user doesn't have permission. Permission to the database msdb is required for this feature to work correctly.
So what could be wrong here? What sudden changes/anomalies could have crept in that has made this unstable? Someone told me it could be due to a wide range of possibilities. The reason could be anything. Even some nuget packages affect the database. Initially I though this could have been an issue with login, permissions etc. So I tried to run as administrator also. No, it did not cure this problem. If you try to create a new database it simply tells me, that I can't do it. The message is something like this:
An exception occurred while executing a T-SQL statement or batch.[Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo]. Database msdb cannot be opened. It has been marked as SUSPECT by recovery. [Microsoft Sql Server, Error:926]
How do I recover from this? Can you provide me some guidance? Or a clue where precisely to look for the hints of problem? All my work is stalled. Any kind of assistance in recovering my ailing sqlserver installation will be humbly received.
So, I'm requesting you all to show me the way.
Thanks in anticipation.
I fixed mine with Solution C from the following website. my MSDB was corrupt and not loading so I stopped the services and replaced it with the files from the template in the SQL Server directory.
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3191/how-to-recover-a-suspect-msdb-database-in-sql-server/
"The templates are saved in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\Templates" (the path varies by version and install choices, this is the default for SQL Server 2012). By shutting down the instance and replacing the bad MSDB data (msdbdata.mdf) and transaction log (msdblog.ldf) files with the template files I was able to restart the instance without error!" (just incase the website link doesn't work I have quoted it here).

If your MSDB is corrupted, restore from your most recent backup. That's the safest thing to do and that's why we have backups to begin with.
If you do not have a backup of MSDB, you have a couple of options.
Recreate it. Detailed instructions here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207003(v=sql.110).aspx#CreateMSDB. This is the best way to ensure you get a clean, functional MSDB and is the fastest way to get up and running again. IMPORTANT: Doing this means you lose all jobs, backup history, etc... that is stored in MSDB. Remember to recreate all maintenance jobs after you're done else you're just waiting for the next thing to fall over (e.g. transaction log backups no longer run, tlogs grow till you run out of disk space - now you can't run any queries that will commit transactions).
DBCC CHECKDB WITH Repair_allow_data_loss is another option which you'll probably find if you google/bing the issue. This might work but it is not recommended. The problem is you don't really know what will be lost. It works by deleting what it can't read then fix the links to get the database physically functional again. Once that's done, you'll have to go back and figure out what remains and is still functional. That is tedious and error prone. Besides, if you're gonna do this very thorough manual check to ensure all your jobs are intact, you're better off just re-creating them on a new, clean MSDB.

sql server restoring back up error

I have backed up a database I had created on an other machine running SQL server 2012 express edition and I wanted to restore it on my machine, which is running the same. I have ticked the checkbox overwriting existing one, and got this error:
Backup mediaset is not complete. Files: D:\question.bak. Family count:2. Missing family sequence number:1
This happens if, when you made the backup, you had multiple files listed in the backup destination textbox. Go back to your source server and create the backup again; this time, make sure there's only one destination file listed.
If you had more than one file listed as the backup destination, the backup is striped across them; you'll need all the files to perform the restore.
You can verify this by performing a RESTORE LABELONLY against the single file you copied to your destination server.
Sandra Walter's Answer provides an accurate description of what has happened, but I found the answer a bit lacking.
To make a backup which isn't striped (which is what has occurred in this situation), go back to the window where you setup the backup of your database. At the bottom is a list of paths where the different stripes will go to.
Go to each of the listed paths and delete the stripe of the backup.
Then remove all but one of the paths from the list in the window. And click the "OK" button. Your unstriped backup will be created at that one path.
Hope that helps.
My backup was scheduled on two different locations. once I selected both options during restoration its worked for me.

Why aren't my SQL Server 2005 backups being deleted?

I've got a maintenance plan that executes weekly in the off hours. It's always reporting success, but the old backups don't get deleted. I don't want the drive filling up.
DB Server info: SQL Server Standard Edition 9.00.3042.00
There is a "Maintenance Cleanup Task" set to
"Search folder and delete files based on an extension"
and "Delete files based on the age of the file at task run time" is checked and set to 4 weeks.
The only thing I can see is that my backups are each given their own subfolder and that this is not recursive. Am I missing something?
Also: I have seen the issues pre-SP2, but I am running service pack 2.
If you make your backups in subfolders, you have to specify the exact subfolder for deleting.
For example:
You make the backup by choosing the option that says something like "Make one backup file for each database" and check the box that says "Create subfolder for each database".
(I work with a German version of SQL Server, so I translate everything into English myself now)
The specified folder is H:\Backup, so the backups will actually be created in the folder H:\Backup\DatabaseName.
And if you want the Maintenance Cleanup Task to delete the backups via "Delete files based on the age of the file at task run time", you have to specify the folder H:\Backup\DatabaseName, not H:\Backup !!!
This is the mistake that I made when I started using SQL Server 2005 - I put the same folder in both fields, Backup and Cleanup.
My understanding is that you can only include the first level of subfolders. I am assuming that you have that check-box checked already.
Are your backups deeper than the just one level?
Another thought is, do you have one single maintenance plan that you run to delete backups of multiple databases? The reason I ask this is because the way I could see that you would have to do that would be to point it to a folder that was one level higher meaning that your "include first-level subfolders" would not be deep enough.
The way I have mine set up is that the Maintenance Cleanup Task is part of my backup process. So once the backup completes for a specific database the Maintenance Cleanup Task runs on that same database backup files. This allows me to be more specific on the directory so I don't run into the directory structure being too deep. Since I have the criteria set the way I want, items don't get deleted till I am ready for them to be deleted either way.

Make sure your maintenance plan does not have any errors associated it with. You can check the error log under the SQL Server Agent area in the SQL Server Management Studio. If there are errors during your maintenance plans, then it is probably quitting before it starts to delete the outdated backups.
Another issue could be the "workflow" of the maintenance plan.
If your plan consists of more than one task, you have to connect the tasks with arrows to define the order in which they will run.
Possible issue #1:
You forgot to connect them with arrows. I just tested that - the job runs without any error or warning, but it executes only the first task.
Possible issue #2:
You defined the workflow in a way that the cleanup task will never run. If you connect two tasks with an arrow, you can right-click on the arrow and specify if the second task will run always or only when the first one does/does not run successful (this changes the color of the arrow, possible are red/green/blue). Maybe the backup works, and then the cleanup never runs because it will only run when the backups fails?
