Author question about restore
Jen

2002-11-20, 3:23 pm

Hi,

I backuped my database, I would like to use this backup
file to create another identical database on a new machine
with different partitions.
After I copyed the **_200211200030.bak to the new box. I
am in enterprise manager to do restore. After I choosed
the the file which I copyed, in the Option tab, under
Restore database as, I don't need to change the logical
name, but as for the "Move to physical file name" shows
the the old path, can I change to the new path like change
from d:\Program.. to M:\program...? I tried to cahnge but
I got error:
"Device activiation error. The physical file
name 'M:\pro...\.mdf' may be incorrect. use WITHMOVE to
identify a valid localtion for the file". What should I do?
Thanks

Yes, you need to change the path to one that exists on the new server.
Perhaps you tried changing the path to 'M:\pro...\.mdf', but does that path
exist on this box?

You can also key in the RESTORE DATABASE.....WITH MOVE into Query Analyzer.
Syntax can be found within Books Online (in the SQL Server program group).

Thanks. Yes, there is extra string after \MSSQL, after I
added in, it works well.
After I finish the resotre in EM, is there anything else I
need to do cleanup? Thw way to verify the restore is fine?

Thanks

....access the database.

If you can access it, the restore worked!

No cleanup is needed.

Thank you very much. I can access it. The table, view,
procedure, trigger are good. But the jobs are not there.
So I guess I need to add in. Maintanence plan is not there
either. Anything else I need to check?

Jobs are stored within msdb
Do the SQL users exist?

You mean all the database user? No, it's not there. How
can bring up the missing pieces, ie, uses, jobs, etc.

You can script jobs on the original server and create them on the dest server. See Keith's post
regarding logins and users.
