restoring msdb from a network tape backup

I have inherited a SQLS erver 2000 instance where the client never
implemented a backup startegy for the "master" and "msdb" databases.
MSDB is now showing errors and my only option for a restore is from a
tape backup of the server.

Any thoughts..

Hi all, I have a very old MSSQL data backup file. I do not even remember that it was created in SQL7 or 2000. Anyway, I'm trying to recreate DB from this backup. Is it possible to create DB from backup file? I tried restore from that file and SQL server complaining. "The file on device '***' is not valid Microsoft tape format backup set." Thanks

Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size...

Folks, One of our system crashed last week. It had few database instances on it. They are all for development and was deteremined that they do not need to be backed up (database backup, the file system was getting backed up). The system had been running without any problem for few years so some of the developers relied on it being up all the time and added data that could not be easily re-created.

Hi everyone, I am running DB2 8.2 under SuSE SLES9 (zSeries). My current problem is when trying to make a direct backup to tape. - I can make a DB2 backup to a filesystem and it works fine. (e.g. backup into /tmp/test) - And I can also tar the created file into a 3590 tape drive and it works fine too. (e.g. tar into /dev/rtibm0 )

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
