Convert [[[Undefined variable Primary.product_Name]]] Backups to SQL Server Backups

The extraction utility (extractor.exe) allows you to create MTF compliant SQL Server backup files from LiteSpeed backup files through the command-line. The devices created by the extractor utility can be restored on any SQL Server using the native RESTORE DATABASE or RESTORE LOG commands. The utility must be run on the server where the backup files are located.

This topic covers:

To use the utility, run the command line and change the directory until you are in the LiteSpeed installation directory (Usually, C:\Program Files\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server).

Syntax

extractor.exe ( -? | ( [-F <sqllitespeed_backup_file>]
        [-E <base_file_name>]
        [-N <file_number>]
        [-K <encryption_key>]
        [-L (0|1|2)]
        [-c <tsm_client_node>]

        [-i <tsm_filespace>]
        [-k <tsm_owner_password>]
        [-j <tsm_config_file>]

        [-I] ) )

Arguments

NOTES:

  • Single-letter arguments are case-sensitive, and they can be preceded by a figure dash '-' or '/'.
  • Verbose multi-letter arguments are not case-sensitive, they must be preceded by double dashes '--'.

-Argument

--Argument

Description

-?    

--ShowHelp

Displays the syntax summary of the LiteSpeed command-line utility.

-c --TSMClientNode

Specifies the TSM server LiteSpeed connects to during backups and restores. Not required, if specified in the options file or if backing up with the Passwordaccess Generate option.

-E

--MTFFile

Specify the location and name of the Microsoft Tape Format (MSTF) base file.

The extractor utility will create one backup device file for each thread used in a LiteSpeed backup.

The extracted files containing the native SQL Server backup will have the following format: base_file_namex.

Where:

  • base_file_name is the specified Microsoft Tape Format base file.

  • x is a number or letter that represents the sequence of the files. In case there are no additional files, the base file will not have an x appended to its name.

NOTES:

  • You can specify a network destination for this parameter.
  • You only need to specify this parameter once. The extraction utility will create all the necessary files automatically.
  • You cannot tell the extraction utility to extract a different number of native SQL Server files. However, you can specify different destinations for the extracted files by supplying a file name with the -E parameter for each of the native SQL Server files. To see how many files extractor.exe will create, run it without this parameter. See example 4 for more information.
  • If a full path is not specified, the extracted files will be created in the current directory.

-F

--BackupFile

The name of the LiteSpeed backup device file to be extracted. This argument accepts network destinations.

For TSM backups and TSM archives, this argument accepts the following formats:

  • tsmbkp:<filespace>\<high>\<low>
  • tsmarc:<filespace>\<high>\<low>

You can supply multiple instances of this argument.

-I

--Overwrite

Re-initializes (overwrites and replaces) the target native backup files.

  • 0 (appends the backup to an existing backup file)
  • 1 (overwrite the existing target backup file)
-j --TSMConfigFile Specifies the TSM configuration file.
-k --TSMClientOwnerPwd

Specifies the TSM client owner user password. Not required, if specified in the options file or if backing up with the Passwordaccess Generate option.

-i --TSMFile

Defines the TSM filespace, high level and low level. This argument accepts the following format:

tsm_filespace\tsm_high_level\tsm_low_level

where:

  • tsm_filespace is the logical space on the TSM server that contains a group of files. It can be the drive label name or UNC name.

  • tsm_high_level specifies the directory path in which the file belongs.

  • tsm_low_level specifies actual name of the file.

NOTE: You may only store one item the location specified by this argument. It is not possible to append an object to this location. You can use the -I command-line argument or @init to back up to a non-unique location.

(none) --TSMPointInTime

Specifies the date for restore/to filter results. If it is not passed, LiteSpeed will choose the most recent archived backup. The format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

NOTE: If the backup was a striped backup and the point-in-times of the various striped files are different (rare but can be different a second or so), then the most recent of the times must be chosen.

-L

--LogLevel

Creates a log file. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • 0—Logging off.

  • 1 or any odd value—Logging on. Log file is removed on success.

  • 2 or any even value—Logging on.

The default output directory is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs (or C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs) (or C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\Logs). To log to a different directory run this utility with the following argument: --trace logpath = "path".

For more information, see Configure Logging in LiteSpeed.

-K

--Key

Value used to generate the encryption key for the encryption algorithm. If you do not supply encryption key, then the program will not encrypt the backup. If you use the wrong encryption key, the restore will fail.

Caution: When encrypting data, take care not to lose the encryption key; a backup cannot be restored or recovered without the original encryption key.

Example of key: 'Mypassword'

-N

--BackupIndex

Specifies the particular backup to use when recasting, restoring, extracting or reading from files with multiple appended backups. You can run xp_restore_headeronly to query the files contained within the backup set given by backup_file_name.

Examples

  1. Extract a LiteSpeed backup to a Network Share:

    extractor.exe -F "C:\temp\Northwind.bak" -E \\my_server\my_share\Native.bak

  2. Extract only the first backup in a backup set:

    extractor.exe -F "C:\temp\Northwind.bak" -E "C:\temp\NorthwindNative.bak" -N 1

  3. Extract a striped LiteSpeed backup:

    extractor.exe -F "C:\temp\LS1.bak" -F "C:\temp\LS2.bak" -F "C:\temp\LS3.bak" -F "C:\temp\LS4.bak" -E "C:\temp\Native.bak"

    NOTE: The number of extracted files does not have to match the number of files in a LiteSpeed backup. For more information, see Arguments. about the -E parameter.

  4. Extract a LiteSpeed backup to different locations.
    1. See how many destination files the extractor utility is going to create for the LiteSpeed backup:

      extractor.exe -F"c:\Backup\Northwind.bak"

    2. Specify one filename for each destination file. The number of file names you specify with the -E parameter must match the number of files the extractor utility has returned for the LiteSpeed backup. The example below has 3 destination files:

      extractor.exe -F"c:\Backup\Northwind.bak" –E "c:\Data\NW1.bak" "e:\Data\NW2.bak" \\my_server\my_share\NW3.bak

  5. Extract a TSM backup to native SQL Server backup:

    extractor.exe -c"10.0.1.200" -k"password" -j"C:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsm.opt" -F tsmbkp:fsMH\nw\test -E "C:\temp\TestNative.bak"

Returns

0 (success) or 1 (failure)

Arguments

Argument

Name

Description

-?

--Help

Displays the syntax summary of the LiteSpeed command-line utility.

-B

--ExecuteScript

Indicates Execute SELECT mode of operation.

-b --BackEnd

Object Level Recovery can restore tables using two different internal techniques to handle the record inserts.

The first and default method uses BCP files and a TSQL BULK INSERT statement. Object Level Recovery will write a BCP format file and an accompanying binary data file to the local file system. These files may become very large depending on the table size and will require permissions to write to a temporary directory. The default TEMP location can be set by using the @TempDirectory parameter or by setting a permanent temp location in the LiteSpeed configuration file.

An alternate insertion method can be specified to use Sql Server’s Sql Native Client capabilities. This method inserts row-data directly into the destination database bypassing any storage on the local file-system. To enable this method, use the parameter @backend='SQLNativeClient' (or -b 1 from the command line). To make this the default method set the value “BackEnd=SQLNativeClient” in the Object Level Recovery section of the LiteSpeed configuration file.

Regardless of the insertion method used, the batch size can be globally managed by setting the value “BulkImportBatchSize=<N>”. This will set the number of row inserts for each batched transaction.

-C <object_name>

--CreateScript

Specifies the name of the object to recover.

-d

--RestoreAsOnDiskTable

This option allows you to restore an in-memory table as a regular table.

Name of backup file to restore. Used for differential backups instead of full backup files. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.

-E <destination_server_name>

--DestinationServer

Name of the destination server.

-F <full_backup_filename>

--FullBackupFilename

Location and name of the backup file device containing the object to recover.

Examples:

UNC Path: \\servername\share\path\filename

Local path: c:\filedirectory\filename 

NOTE: There can be multiple files but they must be listed in the order in which they were backed up.

-G <filegroup_name>

--OnFileGroup

Destination ON filegroup name.

-g <log_filename> --LogBackupFileName

Specifies location and name of the log backup file. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.

-H <script_text>

--ScriptText

SELECT Script literal text. For more information, see Supported SELECT Statements.

-h <striped_logfilename> --LogBackupStripeFileName

Specifies the striped log file name.

NOTE: The striped files for a given log backup must be specified before the next log backup set is specified.

-i <table_objects> --IncludeTableObjects

Instructs LiteSpeed to script or recover one or more of the following:

  • Constraints—But not foreign keys
  • ForeignKeys
  • Indexes
  • Statistics
  • Triggers
  • All—All of the above

The value is a list of options, separated with commas.

-I <filegroup_name>

--TextImageOnFileGroup

Destination TEXTIMAGE_ON filegroup name. Used to restore a BLOB (binary large object).

-J <filename>

--ResultsFileName

Name of comma separated file (.csv) that is generated instead restoring into a database. This is an ad hoc solution for users want to see the restored data in Excel. You can only use this argument for text data.

-k

--KeepComputedColumns

Instructs LiteSpeed to keep the computed columns with the object restore. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • 0—False
  • 1—True

-K <encryption_key>

--Key

Value used to generate the encryption key for the encryption algorithm. If you do not supply encryption key, then the program will not encrypt the backup. If you use the wrong encryption key, the restore will fail.

Caution: When encrypting data, take care not to lose the encryption key; a backup cannot be restored or recovered without the original encryption key.

Example of key: 'Mypassword'

-l

--LSMPath

Specify a custom path for finding or creating the LSM file.

-L <option>

--LSM

Specifies handling for OLR LSM mapfile(s).

  • Create—Reads backup and creates a new mapfile. It will ignore attached LSM.

  • Delete—Always deletes mapfile(s) when complete.

-M

--FileStreamOnFileGroup

Specifies a file stream filegroup to include in the object restore.

-m

--PersistLogProcessing

Instructs LiteSpeed to persist log processing, so the same database backup does not have to be processed for each Object Level Recovery operation. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • 0—False (Default).
  • 1—True. LiteSpeed will persist transaction log backups specified and the tail log for future use. This option can offer a huge performance gain for working with databases with large tail logs that could possibly take a long time to process.

-N <file_number>

--FileNumber

Specifies the particular backup to use when recasting, restoring, extracting or reading from files with multiple appended backups. You can run xp_restore_headeronly to query the files contained within the backup set given by backup_file_name.

-O <object_name>

--RestoreTable

Specifies the name of the object to recover.

NOTE: Currently only tables. Table name must be preceded by database owner.

-p <prefix> --PrefixTableObjects

Adds a prefix to the names of the table's objects you selected to script or recover.

--TableName

Specifies the name of the destination table. LiteSpeed will not overwrite an existing table. If you select the same server instance and database as the original table, you must use a different table name.

NOTE: For Execute-Select operations, LiteSpeed will attempt to insert (append) all selected records into existing table.

-U <username>

--UserName

Specifies user login ID. Required if the connection type is not a trusted connection.

Login IDs are case-sensitive.

--UDT  

Create table script:

  • 0—Off. Create table with native types, if possible; othervise (CLR UDT) create with UDT. (Default).
  • 1—On. Create table with UDT.

-V

--ViewContents

View contents.

-W <temp_directory>

--WriteDirectory

Specifies a temporary directory for use with Object Level Recovery. Use this argument when the default Windows temp directory does not have enough free disk space for the restore process.

NOTE: You can specify the default temp directory using the TempPath parameter in the [LiteSpeed] section of the LiteSpeedSettings.ini file. (Usually, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quest Software\LiteSpeed\SQL Server\LiteSpeedSettings.ini.)

-X <ship_directory>

--ShipDirectory

Ship directory for packaging files for subsequent restore.

-Y <object_type>

  • Trigger
  • Type
  • User 1
  • View
  • XmlSchemaCollection

Notes:
1 These values cannot be used to create scripts.
2 These values are pseudo-object types and are not real schema objects. They are only used to generate SQL scripts to alter the table, and they will be ignored when used with -V or xp_objectrecovery_viewcontents. When one of these values is used with -C or xp_objectrecovery_createscript, @ObjectName (-C) is not the name of the object, but the name of the owning table.
3 This value lists all object types, which are prefixed with "object_type, ". All pseudo-table object types will be listed even though they might not exist for the associated table.

-y --DisableLogProcessing

Instructs LiteSpeed to skip all transaction log backups and tail log processing. This may improve read and recovery times.

-Z <filename>

--ObjFileName

Identifies a file that contains a list of objects. The format of this file is "ObjectType,ObjectName" per line.

Tip: You can use -V and -Y arguments to create the objects list.

LicenseInfoCmd.exe (-? | -r | ([-s] -l <license_key> ) )

Examples

  1. View information about the accepted parameters:

    LicenseInfoCmd.exe -?

  2. View information about the supplied license key

    LicenseInfoCmd.exe -l Enter-your-valid-license-key

  3. Register the supplied license key

    LicenseInfoCmd.exe -l Enter-your-valid-license-key -s

  4. Remove the currently installed license

Use Extended Stored Procedures

You can use extended stored procedures to perform LiteSpeed activities without using the LiteSpeed UI Console.

When you install LiteSpeed, the installer registers the LiteSpeed extended stored procedures with every instance of SQL Server selected at installation. These extended stored procedures contain a series of commands that you can execute in SQL Query Analyzer or other SQL scripting tool, such as Toad for SQL Server.

NOTES:

  • You can only run LiteSpeed commands on SQL Servers on which the LiteSpeed stored procedures have been registered.
  • Extended stored procedures are executed against the master database.
  • Review the Syntax sections to see which arguments are mandatory, which are optional, and which are mutually exclusive. Mutually exclusive arguments are separated by a vertical bar. Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets. Round brackets are used to group arguments.
  • Review the Arguments sections for more information about the arguments and accepted values.
  • LiteSpeed arguments are flexible and usually do not have any hard coded length limits. Review the following for additional information:

    • Path type parameters are the MAX_PATH for any filesystem being employed.
    • Backup name, database name, etc. are passed into SQL Server and have the same requirements.
    • TSM has a limit on object names.
    • Other than that, you are only limited by OS.
