SQL2005 database backup files

We are in the early (development test) stages of upgrading from SQL200
to SQL2005. We have noticed that our backups, created with the append
option, are not stored as individual .bak files when viewed through
Windows Explorer. From time to time, we have to create disk space by
deleting backup files. How is this managed in SQL2005?

We're considering purchasing an application, which stores some data in the filesystem, and some data (meta data and links to files) in MS-SQL. We need to be able to create a backup wherein the database and files are "in synch" (in other words, in a consistent state). We need to maintain the "referential integrity" between database and files.

hi. i need to restore an old database. The db was backed up using a DLT drive, using 2 volumes. The content for the tapes was copied to file onto Solaris machine using rsh and dd (for backup purposes). Now, the drive is defective and can't read the tapes anymore.

Any assistance is appreciated. I would like to know if there is a way to specify the path for database log files to be located during the SQL2005 Standard installation. Under the Advanced button there is the ability to specify a different path for data files but nothing for logs. Thanks in advance, John

Hi, I was upgrading a instance from SQL2000 to SQL2005. During SQL2005 setup I accidently allow the files to be installed in C drive, but I should have them all installed in D drive. My databases are still sits in D drive, but other files (Management studio, analysis service, etc.) all sits in C drive. Is there anyway that I can move SQL2005 from C to D drive? I thought of uninstalling current SQL2005, install it back and load current...

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...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
