I have a db on my development server (local machine) and want to restore it to the production server online, using a script or tool.
I'm not sure how to write the code so it accesses my local server for the back up, and then restores that backup to the production server.
I just switched to a new hosting company and I need to copy the existing database to the new server. I've created a .bak file of the database to restore it on the new server however the interface has facility for restoring database and can not restore remotely through sql server management studio. I could import data from the original database to the new one but that doesn't copy the primary keys? The hosting company said they will restore it for me but they're taking to long and I've got 5 other sites I need to do.
View 5 RepliesI'm getting an error in Parallels Plesk for SQL Server database on restore the cause of which is a mystery to me. Here is the support ticket I sent my hosting company:
I'm in the process of restoring my databases and the first one restored just fine. The second one called ***** for *****.com failed with the following error:
Error: dbbackup failed: Unable to restore database 'alienreports' Not valid backup The media family on device C:WINDOWSTEMPlocalhostalienreports*******.bak' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
This happened both when using the .bak file from my old host and after restoring that file on my local machine using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 just fine before backing it up and getting the same error when trying to upload and restore.

I have been struggling to import my .bak files into my sql server database. I have contacted the hosting copany who say it is just not possible.
