xp_restore_attachedfilesonly accepts the following arguments:
Processor affinity designates specific processors to run LiteSpeed, while not allowing LiteSpeed to run on the remaining processors.
This argument accepts decimal values and hexadecimal values. If a value begins with "0x" it is interpreted as hexadecimal. A positive 64-bit integer value translates to a binary mask where a value of 1 designates the corresponding processor to be able to run the LiteSpeed process.
NOTE: 32-bit Windows is internally limited to a 32-bit mask.
For example, you need to select processors 2, 3, and 6 for use with LiteSpeed. Number the bits from the right to left. The rightmost bit represents the first processor. Set the second, third, and sixth bits to 1 and all other bits to 0. The result is binary 100110, which is decimal 38 or hexadecimal 0x26. Review the following for additional information:
|
Decimal Value |
Binary Bit Mask |
Allow LiteSpeed Threads on Processors |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | All (default) |
|

100110 |
2, 3, and 6 |
| 205 | 11001101 | 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8 |
Tip: Before you start tuning the CPU Throttle or Affinity parameters to adjust backup performance, try limiting the number of threads. If you decide to use an affinity value other than default, it is recommended that you limit the threading as well. You may also want to consider using Adaptive Compression to maintain backup performance. For more information, see Adaptive Compression.
Specifies filepaths to include in both backup and restore operations. The filepath can be either a single file or a directory. If it is a directory, then LiteSpeed recursively includes all files and subdirectories. All attached files are encrypted and compressed, with all pertinent backup parameters supported. This feature works for disk, tape, TSM, and Double Click Restore as well. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.
When used within the context of a restore operation, the path parameter can be expanded to include a new destination. This form will take the syntax of <file_path> to <new_file_path>. The new filepath can be used to specify a new location but cannot rename a file.
This argument only restores the attached files. It does not restore the database, just the files that were attached to that backup.
NOTES:
The @AWSUseReducedRedundancy argument specifies the use of reduced redundancy storage in Amazon S3. This argument accepts one of the following values:
|
Note: This @AWSUseReducedRedundancy argument is replaced with the @CloudStorageClass = 'rrs' argument. |
The @AWSUseServerSideEncryption argument enables the encryption of data stored at rest in Amazon S3. This argument accepts one of the following values:

The @CloudAcceptAllCertificates argument instructs LiteSpeed accept self-signed certificates for S3 Compatible Storage. This argument accepts one of the following values:
Note: Delete backups is not supported in Maintenance Plans with this option.
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'
Specifies a logical database file used for file or filegroup backups. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.
Specifies a database filegroup to include in the backup or restore. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.
A filegroup backup is a single backup of all files in the filegroup and is equivalent to explicitly listing all files in the filegroup when creating the backup. Files in a filegroup backup can be restored individually or as a group.
Specifies a backup location (e.g. C:\backups\AdventureWorks.bak). This argument accepts network destinations. You can supply multiple instances of this argument to use stripe backups.
Disk restores:
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.
Tape restores:
Identifies the backup set to be restored. For example, a file number of 1 indicates the first backup set on the backup medium, and a file number of 2 indicates the second backup set.
Specifies if LiteSpeed should wait and retry the read or write operation on failure. You can define retry options using the following parameters:
NOTE: This functionality is only available for disk and cloud operations.
For example, to specify a database backup where each failure can be retried once after a 30-second wait:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_backup_database
@filename='c:\test.bkp'
, @database='test'
, @ioflag='DISK_RETRY_COUNT=1'
, @ioflag='DISK_RETRY_WAIT=30'
Specifies an encrypted key. (Similar to @EncryptionKey).
You can use xp_encrypt_backup_key to convert the password (encryption_key) for use with @jobp. The original password (or encrypted key generated by xp_encrypt_restore_key) must be used to restore a backup.
Writes a log file for the operation. 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 add @Trace='logpath=path'.
See Configure Logging in LiteSpeed for information about LiteSpeed logging.
Specifies the largest unit of transfer in bytes to be used between SQL Server and LiteSpeed. The possible values are multiples of 65536 bytes (64 KB) ranging up to 4,194,304 bytes (4 MB). The default is 1048576 (1 MB).
The @ProxyHost argument is optional and specifies the name of the proxy host name that is running the proxy server.
|
note: If the @ProxyHost argument is not defined, then the LiteSpeed core engine checks the local .ini files for the proxy parameters. If the proxy parameters are not detected, then the LiteSpeed core engine connects directly to the proxy servers. |
The @ProxyLogin argument is optional and specifies the proxy server login credential.
|
note: If not defined, then the LiteSpeed core engine checks the local .ini files for the proxy parameters. If the proxy parameters are not detected, then the LiteSpeed core engine connects directly to the proxy servers. |
The @ProxyPassword argument is optional and specifies the proxy server password credential.
|
note: If the @ProxyPassword argument is not defined, then the LiteSpeed core engine checks the local .ini files for the proxy parameters. If the proxy parameters are not detected, then the LiteSpeed core engine connects directly to the proxy servers. |
The @ProxyPasswordEnc argument is optional and specifies the encrypted proxy server password credential.
|
note: If the @ProxyPasswordEnc argument is not defined, then the LiteSpeed core engine checks the local .ini files for the proxy parameters. If the proxy parameters are not detected, then the LiteSpeed core engine connects directly to the proxy servers. |
The @ProxyPort argument is optional and contains the port number of the proxy server. The TCP/IP port values can be 1-65535.
|
note: If the @ProxyPort argument is not defined, then the LiteSpeed core engine checks the local .ini files for the proxy parameters. If the proxy parameters are not detected, then the LiteSpeed core engine connects directly to the proxy servers. |
Applies only to backing up and restoring tape. This argument accepts one of the following values:
0—Leave the tape unwound (default)
1—Rewind the tape after writing/reading
Specifies the maximum CPU usage allowed. The argument accepts an integer value between 1 and 100. The default value is 100. This is the percentage of the total amount of CPU usage (across all enabled processors) available.
TIP: Before you start tuning the CPU Throttle or Affinity parameters to adjust backup performance, try limiting the number of threads. If you decide to use an affinity value other than default, it is recommended that you limit the threading as well. You may also want to consider using Adaptive Compression to maintain backup performance. For more information, see Adaptive Compression.
Specifies to store the backup as a TSM archive. This argument accepts one of the following values:
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.
Specifies the TSM client owner user password. Not required, if specified in the options file or if backing up with the Passwordaccess Generate option.
Specifies the TSM configuration file.
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.
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.
Applies to tape backups and restores. This argument accepts one of the following values:
0—Keep tape loaded (default)
1—Unload and eject tape from the drive after operation
The @UseSSL argument specifies that the connection uses SSL security. This argument accepts one of the following values:
