backup of master database

  • Hi,

    After starting is sigle user mode, I start enterprise MGR, attempt to restore but I need to start sql server service first. Then I am able to select the restore DB option and now I get a Connection Transact, Get overlapped result, connection broken. This is version 7.0.

    Am I doing something wrong?????

  • I recommend in every restore to use QA and learn and get used to use the tsql commands.

    To restore the master db, I start sql server with sqlservr.exe -m parameter. Then connect with QA, and restore the master db wth the syntax:

    RESTORE DATABASE Master FROM [Backup]

    then sql server will stop and you must start it aggin.

  • Only for restoring master database, you must start sql server with sqlservr.exe -m, then you can do the restore.

  • Thanks for your suggestions.
