  • RE: Restoring a db with more data files??

    You do realize you can get better performance out of your DB if these LUNS really are separate drives (physically speaking) and you apportion out your tables properly, right? This...

  • RE: Backup

    Check Books Online for the system tables. In the Index, type in "sys" (without the quotes) and it will take you right to them. BOL gives you the table names,...

  • RE: xp_cmdshell copy option is not working

    Also, if the folder destination does not exist, xp_cmdshell will NOT create it as part of the copy, unlike several other windows programs which will.

  • RE: DB backup error

    Usually when I get this error, another backup is actually running at the time. But it's only happened to me maybe two times, so "usually" might not mean anything.

  • RE: Restoring a db with more data files??

    You can definitely add more files to the Primary Filegroup without a problem. The issue is moving the data from the existing file to the new file.

    The best way to...

  • RE: transaction log restore question

    I should add that the use of Partial Backups or File / Filegroup Backups (if you do use them) can be used to restore your tables if you happen to...

  • RE: transaction log restore question

    Point in Time restores (which is what you're referring to) cannot be done without starting from the last FULL backup. You can't re-apply Transaction Logs (or roll them back) to...

  • RE: Deduplication Technology & SQL Backups

    Wow, the pointer info is good information to have.

    I do know that one of the options is to use the Agent version of the backup. The other is to use...

  • RE: Differential Backup Size

    vidya_pande (3/17/2010)


    Can you please give some references more information on how differential backup size increases because of Index Rebuilding process?

    I am not able to find any information on this.

  • RE: Hourly backups + Weekly full = Overlap = problems???

    SQL Server will NOT allow you to restore files out of order. See my post about backup chains. You can read up about it in BOL too.

    There's really nothing to...

  • RE: Differential Backup Size

    Ouch!

    Might I recommend only using Differential on a daily basis (not an hourly) and backing up the Transaction Log on an hourly basis instead?

    I've never seen Differentials as an "hourly"...

  • RE: Hourly backups + Weekly full = Overlap = problems???

    I'm not sure if your 1:05 tran log backup is junk. Perhaps it would be useful to restore to point-in-time before the full backup completed.

    Sorry -- my bad -- not...

  • RE: Hourly backups + Weekly full = Overlap = problems???

    Or does SQL mindlessly try to do a Log file backup right during a Full backup? That would really mess things up, wouldn't it? What if it did a log...
