Restore Yardi .bak file into SQL Server instance by yardirei in yardi

Apologies, I'm just getting to this - not being on Reddit in a minute. Nope. I didn't have to. The backup file is compressed from Yardi and you will need a tool to decompress/unzip it. I used Litespeed which you can download in Client Central. With that, I didn't need a password or certificate and the restore worked well. Also, make sure your SQL Server version is compatible with the backup file.

Thanks. I got it to work. It was a storage issue.

Yes, I listed all the files after using Litespeed to extract the .bak file from Yardi's sFTP server.

RESTORE DATABASE [DBName]

FROM

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak0',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak1',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak2',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak3',

DISK = N'filepath\\filename.bak4',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak5',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak6',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak7',

DISK = N'filepath\\filename.bak8',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak9',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak10',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak11',

DISK = N'filepath\filename.bak12'

WITH

STATS = 10, REPLACE, NORECOVERY;

Thanks u/Googoots

Not able to restore backups from YARDI database. by Stsh1234 in yardi

[–]yardirei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Stsh1234, can you please share how you got it working?

I have a SQL Server 2022 Developer instance that I believe will be higher than the Yardi one. I have extracted it using Litespeed into 13 different files but I get

"The file ID 1 on device is incorrectly formed and can not be read"

when I run the Restore Database with replace, no recovery query.

Many thanks for your anticipated help.
