Okay so here is where I am right now I noticed that the download mangos three from madmax is giving me the error that the application was unable to start correctly, but when I download the repo myself it does not give me the error so not sure what is up with that still. Now for the next error when I do the file myself I am getting map-extractor.exe has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. When I look at the event viewer it says,
Ok here is an update: I downloaded mangostwo and I noticed when I run a bat file to pause the map-extractor.exe and it gives me a message that the DBC Extractor & Map Generator for Unknown Version and I noticed that the client is correct it is 3.3.5a but it is enGB and not enUS so not sure if that is why the extractor is saying that or does it work for GB as well if so then not sure why it gives me the error.
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.
I have a question related to this. We have removed litespeed from VOYA about 3 years back. Now one of AppDev team need an old database again and we have litespeed backup of that database. There are 15 backup files (multiple) of around 17 gigs each. Not sure if that works, we took backup of Extractor.exe when litespeed was there. Would that extractor.exe work? We tried extracting the native backup out of these. it did create the output files and kept running for about 11 days uninterrupted, only to be aborted as a result of server reboot. File sizes were less than 30 mb each. Not sure when went for so long which resulted in nothing. Do you have idea how can we extract native backup out of those litespeed backup files. Would installing free trial litespeed version on a server work and would that help in restoring these litespeed backup file on server? or if you have anything else in mind. need help please. thank you sir!!
1. extractor.exe -F "C:\temp\Northwind.bak" -E \\my_server\my_share\Native.bak extract a LiteSpeed backup to a Network Share.
2. extractor.exe -F "C:\temp\Northwind.bak" -E "C:\temp\NorthwindNative.bak" -N 1 extract only the first backup in a backup set.
3. 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" extract a striped LiteSpeed backup.
