Script for Multiple Restore in one shot SQL server


How To Restore Multiple Databases In SQL Server

Today I got the task where I have to restore 100 + databases from production to test server. We get time of four days to complete the task but being a DBA and good hands on T-SQL I decide not to do this task manually and wrote the script to do same.


Description: This Procedure is created to restore multiple databases from their backups.

Example: If I have to restore 100 databases with their respective backups then I can keep all backups in same folder and run procedure.
Here all backup names in same format and must start with database name
Example : master_today.bak , model_today.bak

The stored Procedure I created check for below options

  1. Is xp_cmdshell is enable if not enable it and once work done disable same.
  2. If database is not in simple recovery, take log backup of database.
  3. Kill all sessions on database which we have to restore.
  4. If database is new create data and log file and default location
  5. If database already exists overwrite same and script will find values for move option.
  6. Create / drop all temp tables used
  7. Extract all backup files and their info from location 
In this stored procedure we have to pass 3 Parameters

1. @SourceFile = where all backup files are placed

2. @dbprefixcount = characters in backup file name after db name (saurabhdb              + _09042014.bak) where backup file name is dbanme + date.bak example saurabhdb_09042014.bak , Here in prefix we have 13 characters (saurabhdb   + _09042014.bak)

3. @logbackuppath = location to take log backup when db is not in simple recovery model

SYNTAX :
EXEC dba_admin.dbo.Multi_Restore @SourceFile =    'D:\Adhoc_Backup\Saurabh\'
,@dbprefixcount = 13
,@logbackuppath = 'D:\Adhoc_Backup\'

Here backup filename was : dbname_04092014.Bak

There fore : dbname + _04092014.Bak  (13 character as prefix)


Sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
 GO
Reconfigure with override

 
Script :
CREATE PROCEDURE Multi_Restore( @SourceFile nvarchar(4000)
                               ,@dbprefixcount int
                               ,@logbackuppath varchar (1000)
                               )

    1. Might be u have ran query twice, 1st time partially.
      If you are getting error, just drop that table manually

      Delete
    2. Just so you are aware I got the same problem and definately only ran it once

      Delete
    3. Have u check for an object named '#fileListTable' in the database ????
