xp_slsFastCompression (restore partial backup with fast compression)

NOTE: The following example shows the syntax for performing partial restores using the “read_write_filegroups” parameter. The database used in the example below, FGBackups_PROD, contains the following filegroups: Primary, FG1, FG2, and FG3).

Tip: This example takes a partial backup of the primary and secondary read write filegroups (Primary, FG1, and FG2).

EXEC master.dbo.xp_slsFastCompression

@database = N'FGBackups_PROD'

, @BackupDirectory = 'I:\SQLbackups'

, @ExtentsChgRatioRequireFull = '.4',

@ForceFull = 1,

@read_write_filegroups = 1

Arguments

Tips:

  • To see the list of accepted arguments and data types for arguments, execute the following:
    exec master.dbo.<procedure_name> show_help

  • To convert the script for use with the command-line utilities, execute the following:
    exec master.dbo.<procedure_name> show_cmd, <xp_arguments>

FastCompression Arguments: Accepted LiteSpeed Arguments:

@AdaptiveCompression

Automatically selects the optimal compression level based on CPU usage or Disk IO. For more information, see Compression Methods.

You can tell Adaptive Compression to optimize backups either for size or for speed. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • Size
  • Speed

@affinity

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

7 111 1, 2 and 3

38

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.

@AlterDir

Specifies the directory where to search for the backup file.

Note: @AlterDIr replaced @SearchAlternateBackupDirectory in LiteSpeed 8.6. Support for the old @SearchAlternateBackupDirectory parameter will be gradually phased out.

@AWSPartSize

The size of each part that is uploaded to Amazon S3 (in MB). The LiteSpeed default for Part Size is calculated as a database size divided into 9,000. The default Part Size = 25MB.

Important: This @AWSPartSize argument is replaced by @CloudPartSize. The @AWSPartSize argument is no longer valid in subsequent LiteSpeed versions after 8.2.

Notes:

  • Amazon S3 has a maximum allowable 10,000 parts per file. If you override this parameter, you may inadvertently go over the 10,000 limit.

@CloudVendor

The @CloudVendor argument specifies the name of the cloud service provider. The argument accepts one of the following values: "AmazonS3", "AzureBlob" or "GoogleStorage".

@comment

Appends a user comment to the backup.

This argument accepts variables. For more information, see LiteSpeed Variables.

@compressionlevel

Specifies the compression level for the backup. Valid values are 0 through 8. 0 bypasses the compression routines. The remaining values of 1 through 8 specify compression with increasingly aggressive computation. 2 is the default value for disk backups and 7 is the default value for cloud backups.

When choosing a compression level, it is best to try various options using your equipment and data to determine the best option for your environment. Use the Backup Analyzer to test the performance of different compression levels. For more information, see Test Optimal Backup Settings.

NOTE: If both the compression level and Adaptive Compression option are passed in, LiteSpeed will not error out and will select and use Adaptive Compression.

@cryptlevel

Works in conjunction with the @encryptionkey parameter.

Specify the encryption level. Higher levels improve security, but they require more CPU and take longer. Test Optimal Backup Settings on analyzing the best backup settings for your environment.

  • for which you want to delete old backups (xp_slsSmartCleanup)

If supplied as a variable (@database), this name can be specified either as a string constant (@database = database name) or as a variable of character string data type, except for the ntext or text data types.

@desc

Specifies a description to store with the backup.

This argument accepts variables. For more information, see LiteSpeed Variables.

@DiffToFullRatioRequireFull

Specifies the last differential backup size to last full backup size ratio. When exceeding the specified ratio LiteSpeed performs a full backup.

This argument accepts one of the following formats:

  • '.4'
  • '40%'

@DryRun

Shows backups that are candidates for restore at this time, but does not restore them. This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • 1—True

@ElapsedDaysRequireFull

Specifies the minimum number of days since last full backup required to perform full backup. The default value is 14.

@encryptionkey

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'

@excludedatabase

Name of database(s) to exclude from this backup.

If @ExcludeDatabase is supplied as a variable, this name can be specified either as a string constant (@ExcludeDatabase = database name) or as a variable of character string data type, except for the ntext or text data types.

Tip: The @ExcludeDatabase argument can be applied together with @MultiDatabaseType to exclude several databases from the process.

@FastCompressionExtension

Specifies the fast compression file extension. This argument accepts one of the following formats:

  • bak - the default for new items.
  • bkp - for an existing item that does not have an extension defined

@file

Specifies a logical database file used for file or filegroup backups. You can supply multiple instances of this argument.

@filegroup

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.

@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.

  • 2—Long erase / write new header

  • 3—Low level controller format / write new header

NOTE: Any successful format operation (values 1, 2, and 3; not all are available to all drive types) lays down a LiteSpeed tape header that will identify this tape as containing LiteSpeed backups. Using @init=1 (or -I in the command line) will not lay down a tape header.

@FullBackupEscalation

This option causes LiteSpeed to issue a full backup, if one of the following problems is discovered in the current backup set:

  • The full backup is missing.
  • A differential backup is missing from the backup set (excludes backups automatically removed after the specified retention period).
  • LSN verification fails in the backup set.
  • Verify operation fails on full or differential backup.

NOTE: If a problem is detected and a full backup is created through escalation, an error will be returned.

This argument accepts one of the following values:

  • 0—False (default)
  • 1—True

@GSProject

DEPRECATED LiteSpeed 8.8: Was used to store for the Google Cloud Storage project ID; the project ID is now obtained from login. This parameter is retained for compatibility with old backup/restore scripts.

@ioflag

Specifies if LiteSpeed should wait and retry the read or write operation on failure. You can define retry options using the following parameters:

  • DISK_RETRY_COUNT—Specifies the number of times that a specific operation will be retried on failure. The default is 4 retries, the maximum allowed setting is 1000.
  • DISK_RETRY_WAIT—Specifies the number of seconds to wait immediately following a failure before retrying. The default is 15 seconds, the maximum allowed setting is 300.

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'

Network Resilience

@JobP

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.

@logging

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.

  • 1—AboveNormal

  • 2—High

@ProxyHost

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.

@ProxyLogin

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.

@ProxyPassword

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.

@ProxyPasswordEnc

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.

@ProxyPort

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.

@read_write_filegroups

Specifies a partial backup, which includes all the read/write files in a database: the primary filegroup, any read/write secondary filegroups, and any specified read-only files or filegroups. If the database is read-only, @read_write_filegroups includes only the primary filegroup.

  • 'tu'—on Tuesday
  • '5-7'—from Thursday to Saturday
  • 'm, w, su'—on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday

@threads

Determines the number of threads used for the backup. You will achieve the best results by specifying multiple threads, but the exact value depends on several factors including: processors available, affinity setting, compression level, encryption settings, IO device speed, and SQL Server responsiveness. The default is n-1 threads, where n is the number of processors.

@throttle

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.
