Why this problem aries .How to solve this error.
The Cause of the Problem is that the Drive in which your Source Data base files are located is not present in your server where you want to restore the database.
Please use the SQLCMD Promt and use the Manula RESTORE command with REPLACE and MOVE option .But before using the Restore command get the logical file name of your source database
syntax:
RESTORE DATABASE [TestServer28Sep2010]
FROM DISK = 'C:\BackUp\TestServer28Sep2010.bak'
WITH REPLACE ,
MOVE 'SourceLogicalFileName_Data' TO 'D:\JapanTestServerDB\TestServer28Sep2010.mdf',
MOVE 'SourceLogicalFileName_log' TO 'D:\JapanTestServerDB\Server28Sep2010.ldf'

I'm trying log shipping between two SQL VMs. The backup is getting generated properly but its not getting restore on secondary database. The error says that the restore job is not able to open the .bak file of the database.
Below are the error details:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------
SQL Server Management Studio restore database 'TestDB1'
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (SqlManagerUI)
------------------------------
Cannot open backup device '\\vm-p\NetworksharepathTlogs\TestDB1.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3201)
There were 3 sections when configuring log shipping so the first step that was primary backup setting was successful. And backup got generated in the folder. I have given full control to the users involves read, write ,etc. But still my log shipping is failing coz of this error.
In second step of log shipping two actions were performed one was restoring database to secondary server and other is saving secondary destination configuration . So I separately run the jobs and found that restoring database to secondary is causing an issue. This error is thrown on that step failure.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Currently my project is running, however I connect same project database with SQL Server Management Studio which shows error
Failed to retrieve data for this request.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or
batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(The process cannot
access the file because it is being used by another process.) while
attempting to open or create the physical file 'gg.mdf'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5123)
How can I fix this error?
You're probably creating a database with the same file names (.mdf) or a database which already exists on the SQL server.
I'm not sure what type of project you are talking about but try to change the physical file names of the database or removing the existing database from the server.
I backed up a database from a SQL Server 2005 using my SSMS Task and called it datalab_auth.bak.
I then tried to restore it to my SQL Server 2012 but keep getting the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQL11\MSSQL\datalab_auth.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
I tried to set the path in the above error to have permissions of Everyone to Full. Which it is currently set to.
What am I missing?
When you are performing a restore, make sure you set the option to "Overwrite the existing database" in the restore wizard.
Check what account you are using to run the SQL service through the SQL Configuration Manager and assign permissions to the account on the file and folder.
This post might help:
mssql '5(Access is denied.)' error during restoring database
The OS error 5 is about to permissions issue on the files and folder paths, I have check my account on config manager to fix this issue.
The fix steps on my case:
open SqlServer Configuration Manager as administration
Click SqlServer Service
Right click on you sql server instance, click properties
Choose Log On tab
Account name: input your administrator account and password.
Then backup database successfully.
The environment is that, the OS is Win7 and the version of sql server is MS Sqlserver 2012
This worked for me. After you select your database to restore, select file option and check realocate all files to folder
SQLSEXPRESS service IS running!!
I have I program I wrote some time ago and it works. It was written in MS Visual Studio with local MDF file.
How is it possible to edit this file from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? I don't see this file in the list of globally connected databases.
If I try to attach this file with Visual Studio Wizard, I get message that such database already exists, but when I set arbitrary logical name, I get sharing violation.
How to reach MDF file?
EDIT 1
Now I found that my program also stopped to work.
The summary of results of different attempts to reach MDF file:
Program itself System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user <username>. (windows user)
Visual Studio, Data source = Microsoft SQL Server, Logical Name = "" Error message: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file

MDF files are not intended to be used directly.
You may use them only through and with the help of SQL Server Engine.
Try this:
1- Create a database with the same name to mdf file.
2- Stop sql service
3- Go to the Data Carpet where is all mdf files and ldf , copy your original mdf file y replace.
4- Start the service
5- See in the management studio if the database still online there you go.
A .MDF database cannot be "opened".
It must be attached to an existing (and running) SQL Server instance.
If you have SQL Server Management Studio running, open a connection, and right click on databases. Choose "Attach" and point to the .MDF file. This will (attempt to) attach the database to the master database. If it works, the database will be visible in SSMS.
We have a client who wants us to extract data from their MS SQL bak file. I've gone to restore it, but I'm just getting:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express

The password itself seems to have been set by the original software vendor, and so the client doesn't have it.
Is there any way I can reset or obtain this password?
Do you know the SA password for the database? Long shot, but they could be the same. Try it with the following:
RESTORE DATABASE Northwind FROM DISK='C:\yourbackup.BAK' WITH MEDIAPASSWORD='thepassword'
Turn it off and back on again.
