TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ——————————
Restore of database ‘JBS_DB’ failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
—————————— ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database “JBS_DB” as read from the backup set. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
-> Executing a restore verify only command as below,
restore verifyonly from disk ='C:\Temp\JBS_DB_10July2019.bak'
-> Received below message,
Msg 3203, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Read on “C:\Temp\JBS_DB_10July2019.bak” failed: 13(The data is invalid.) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
-> It seems like the backup file is corrupted. Performed another backup on the database and tried a restore again and it failed with same error.
-> May be the database itself is corrupted. Executed a DBCC Checkdb on the database where backup was performed. It came out clean. So this is not a corruption issue.
-> Looking closely at the error message. The error is on page 0:0. In reality, there is no page 0:0 in a database.
-> Spoke to the application team handling the database and understood that they are using a Third party tool to encrypt the database. After discussion, I advised them to decrypt the database using the tool.
-> I performed a backup and performed a restore. This time restore worked fine.

-> I had a request to remove TDE on a SQL Server Instance.
-> Execute below query and check what databases are encrypted on the SQL Server instance,
select DB_NAME(database_id) AS DatabaseName, encryption_state,
encryption_state_desc =
CASE encryption_state
WHEN '0' THEN 'No database encryption key present, no encryption'
WHEN '1' THEN 'Unencrypted'
WHEN '2' THEN 'Encryption in progress'
WHEN '3' THEN 'Encrypted'
WHEN '4' THEN 'Key change in progress'
WHEN '5' THEN 'Decryption in progress'
WHEN '6' THEN 'Protection change in progress (The certificate or asymmetric key that is encrypting the database is encrypting the database encryption key is being changed.)'
ELSE 'No Status'
END,
percent_complete,encryptor_thumbprint,encryptor_type
from sys.dm_database_encryption_keys
-> From the above screenshot, it is clear that database JB_DB and JBS_DB are encrypted with different certificate. Database JBS_App_DB is encrypted with a different certificate. Check the “encryptor_thumbprint” for the difference.
-> Execute below query to find the name of the certificates,
select DB_NAME(database_id) AS DatabaseName, encryption_state,
encryption_state_desc =
CASE encryption_state
WHEN '0' THEN 'No database encryption key present, no encryption'
WHEN '1' THEN 'Unencrypted'

from sys.dm_database_encryption_keys a INNER JOIN sys.certificates b ON a.encryptor_thumbprint=b.thumbprint
-> Checking the certificates from SSMS,
-> Before removing TDE, I made a backup of the certificate using below TSQL,
USE master;
GO
BACKUP CERTIFICATE JBS_TDE_Certificate
TO FILE = 'C:\temp\JBS_TDE_Certificate.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (file='C:\temp\JBS_TDE_Certificate.pvk',

TO FILE = 'C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (file='C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.pvk',
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD='Pa$$w0rd');
Removing TDE the wrong way
-> I tried removing the master key using below Tsql,
use master
go
DROP MASTER KEY
-> Received below error,
Msg 15580, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot drop master key because certificate ‘JB_TDE_Certificate’ is encrypted by it.
-> It seems like JBS_TDE_Certificate should be dropped before removing the master key. Lets try removing the certificate JBS_TDE_Certificate using below Tsql,
USE [master]
GO
DROP CERTIFICATE [JBS_TDE_Certificate]
GO
-> Received below error,
Msg 3716, Level 16, State 15, Line 3 The certificate ‘JBS_TDE_Certificate’ cannot be dropped because it is bound to one or more database encryption key.
-> You will receive a similar error when you try removing certificate JBS_PROD_Certificate.
Removing TDE the Right way
-> Execute below query to disable TDE on the affected databases,
USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [JB_DB] SET ENCRYPTION OFF;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [JBS_App_DB] SET ENCRYPTION OFF;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [JBS_DB] SET ENCRYPTION OFF;

-> I had to restore a database on a development server using a backup from a Production Server.
-> When I tried restoring the backup I got the below error,
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio —————————— Restore of database ‘JBS_App_DB’ failed. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks) —————————— ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint ‘0xAA2EBEFF26F6DC56959BF42BFAFF09ABC6F12D39’. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
-> It seems like the user database from where the backup was performed is TDE enabled .
-> We should backup the Certificate and Private key from SQL Server Instance where this backup was performed using below,
USE master;
GO
BACKUP CERTIFICATE JBS_PROD_Certificate
TO FILE = 'C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (file='C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.pvk',
ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD='Pa$$w0rd');
-> The created Certificate should be added to the SQL Server Instance where we are performing the restore.
-> Executing below TSQL to create the master key on Instance where the backup should be restored,
USE master;
GO
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION
BY PASSWORD='Pa$$w0rd';
GO
-> Executing above Tsql produces below error,
Msg 15578, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 There is already a master key in the database. Please drop it before performing this statement.
-> It seems like the SQL Server instance already has a master key created.
-> Lets just create the certificate using below,
CREATE CERTIFICATE JBS_PROD_Certificate
FROM FILE='C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.cer'
WITH PRIVATE KEY (
FILE = 'C:\temp\JBS_PROD_Certificate.pvk',
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD='Pa$$w0rd')
-> Try restoring the database and it works without any issue.
