Tech-Recipes: SQL Server 2005: How To Restore a Database from a Backup | Database | Tech-Recipes

  • Anonymous · 2 years ago
    Hi all,

    Am having the backup data in my network drive(X:) I want to restore the data from that drive. I followed the same process what u mentioned in the forum.

    After clicking the add button in the specify backup window it shows only my local disks and removable devices not showing the network drive(x:)

    Is there any option to map the data from the network drive...

    I taken backup of database from Sql server 2005 from other PC and try to Restore it on my PC. Both having Windows authentication. But i am facing following error

    System.Data.Sqlclient.sqlError:The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided.All member must be provided.(Microsoft.Sqlserver.Smo).

    IS it problem of Ownar . because owanr of .bak file is different from where i try to restore it.

    Hi,
    This is not the problem of owner, it is just because while selecting the restoring device there must be two paths (1. Default by Microsoft, 2. Given by you).
    So delete the default path given by SQL Server itself, so it remains only one path that is given by you.
    Do let me know in case this doesn't work also
    Regards,

    mdf and ldf files are not sql2005 based.. its sql 2000.. so install that and not need to restore.. you right click the database in enterprise manager in sql2000..attach the MDF file from location.. then run the program

    I have tried the above steps but didnt work out. I have 2 database servers, one with SQL Server ver 7.0 and other with SQL Server 2005. Can anyone help me out how to restore the backup file (.BAK) from the SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2005 database other than using the above steps, as that didnt work and showed a versoion conflict error.

    What if the Specify Backup window remains blank after you have already selected the .bak file in the previous screen. With it being blank, you are unable to restore.
    Any ideas?
