SQL Server backup to remote internet location

Amitguptaais — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:21:26 +0000

We have one server with 2 SQL databases with size 1.5GB and 6GB,

Daily new transactions are added to the system. Now we want a solution that this SQL gets backed up / replicated at some remote internet location on daily basis. Since we cannot transpot full 1.5GB file or 6GB file on daily basis, how to make the system in such a way that It transfer only the current day transcations on daily basis, and replicate data there.

Recovering lost data from SQL Server 2005

BClawson — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:19:07 +0000

Running SQL Server 2005.

I found that I had lost about 2000 records the Assets table and more records in the associated tables Timeassets and AssetBillingrates. Each of the tables uses an Id field as the Primary Key.

I was able to identify the key records that had been lost and tried inserting them From a backup I had made back into the tables, using Set Identity_Insert to make that possible. The attempt yields this error: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint ‘PK_timeasset’. Cannot insert duplicate key in object ‘dbo.timeasset’.

Having made sure that the primary key records I was trying to insert into the table didn’t actually exist I thought that the problem might be with the index for the PK. After rebuilding the index and trying the insert again the result is the same.

I’d like to understand what is happening.

We ended up making a copy of the current critical files to another database, restoring a previous backup and are now inserting the then current records into the older restored backup files.
