Backup & Recovery

Inthiyaz Shaik
Recovery Models
Full Recovery Model
All activities that affects the database are logged.
Bulk-Logged Recovery Model
Some actions are logged as having occurred but
individual rows affected are not logged.
Simple Recovery Model
The inactive portion of the log is truncated every time a
checkpoint is issued.
Full Recovery Model
All activities that affects the database are logged.
The transaction log contains a record of all the
modifications to the database.
Bulk-Logged Recovery Model
Minimal logging
Some actions are logged as having occurred but
individual rows affected are not logged.
During next BACKUP LOG event the affected physical
extents are copied to the log backup.
Simple Recovery Model
The inactive portion of the log is truncated every time
a checkpoint is issued.
Transaction log cannot be backed up and used for data
recovery since it does not have a complete record of all
the transactions that have modified the database.
Backup Types
Full Backup
Differential Backup
File/Filegroup Backup
File/Filegroup with Differential
Transaction Log Backup
Partial Backup
Copy Only Backup
Full Backup
Backups up all the data in the database and records all
database file locations.
SQL Server logs the beginning of a Full database
backup in the transaction log and then records all
modifications made to the database for the duration of
the backup in the transaction log.
The portion of the transaction log that occurred
during the backup is saved to the backup media.
Differential Backup
Backups on the data that has changed since the last
Full backup.
Includes the portion of the transaction log that
contains database modifications that occurred during
the backup.
File/Filegroup Backup
Backup files and filegroups individually.
File/Filegroup with Differential
Like Differential
Only available if database is in Full or Bulk-Logged
recovery model.
Also available if filegroup is marked as Read Only and
database is in Simple Model.
Transaction Log Backup
Available in Full or Bulk-Logged Recovery Models.
Three forms:
Pure Log Backup
Bulk Log Backup
Tail Log Backup
Partial Backup
Consists of the Primary filegroup, Read Write
filegroups, and any Read only filegroup specified.
Idea is to separate filegroups that can change for
filegroups that cannot change.
Copy Only Backup
Creates a backup without affecting the chain of
backups required to restore a database.
They are non-logged backups that can be used outside
the maintenance envrionment.
Backup Options
Backup Stripe
Mirrored Backup
Compressed Backup
Backup Strategies
Full Backup Only
Bull Backup with Differential
Full Backup with Transaction Log
Full and Differential Backup with Transaction Log
File and Filegroup Backup
Filegroup with Differential
Partial Backup
Restoring Databases
A three phase process
Data Copy
 Data copied
Redo Phase
 Committed transactions are restored from the log
Undo Phase
 Uncommitted transactions are rolled back from the log
Database Restore Preparation
Isolate the database by placing it in SINGLE_USER
mode (if it is accessible).
Backup up the tail of the transaction log if in Full or
Bulk-Logged recovery model.
Gather information about all the backups that are
required to restore the database to the most recent
state.
