15 or so databases are being backed up overnight to a remote server using UNC paths. All bar one database is being copied fine. The one that isn't is the largest at 8gb. The error in the log is OS error 64 (the network name could not be found).
Now I've got the customer looking into any reasons why their network may be interrupted overnight, but while googling around I saw someone mentioned that backing up to UNC with databases over 2gb can cause problems? Is there any truth in this?
I am inclined to reccomend the user backs up the database to a local drive and then sets up a scheduled task to copy it across, but I'm interested to see if this is a known issue.
Anyone knows , get a SQL Backup Folder Path in asp.net.Some Systems it displayed like D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup and some Systems like E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup and etc. i need to get a path for backup programmatically.Please help me.
I'm trying to set a backup job to back up my databases to a server other than the server where Sql server is installed. The only options I can see are the local drives on my sql server when I try to set a location or backup device. If I want my backups to go to another server , How do I do that. Currently I'm trying to use a UNC path like \ServerNameBackups. When I try to use a UNC path I get an invalid directory error.
I'm fairly new to SQL Server as you can tell!
Can anyone help me? (I'm using sql server 2000) Thanks GEM

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
After updating TempDB path to a wrong path (without file name only folder name) the service is not starting. How can i sovle this and start the service
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Sorry if this is not the correct forum... I am using the FOR XML PATH feature of SQL Server 2005 (Amazing!!) Is it possible to return multiple rows? For example:SELECT 'Field1' AS 'Element1/@Field1'FROM TableFOR XML PATH('Repeating') Say the above SELECT returns 5 records, I want it to return 5 rows of xml in my ASP.NET application. So in this case each of the 5 rows would contain:<Repeating><Element Field1="Field1"></Element> <Repeating>Instead of returning 1 row with all the xml together.
When using sp_xml_preparedocument @hdoc OUTPUT, @doc I see code everywhere with huge xml text embedded in some store procedures. Can the SELECT XXX FROM XXX FOR XML PATH('') syntax be used instead to produce the second parameter @doc (xmltext) for sp_xml_preparedocument ?
Im trying to reference a ExcelFilePath connection properties using a UNC path, however it doesnt seem to like it, when i use a mapped drive everything works fine.
Hello to all, help, help,... i have with this problem since 3 weeks, until now i cann't resolve this problem. Maybe can somebody help me. I am hopeless. i have a data table ValidRelationship, i will check if there is a relationship between two members by this table. datas in the table ValidRelationship: IDMember IDOtherMember IDType
3700 3726 10000
3726 3700 10000
3742 3672 10000
3672 3742 10000
3422 3548 10000

3717 3548 10000
3675 3695 10000
3695 3675 10000 I will give two member and check their Relationship with a sql query. but it can be that this two member have no relationship. So i define here that man should search processor <= 6 . To better describe i use a example: max. Result of this query is: 1-2-3-4-5-6. If this is a relationship between 1-7 is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, but i will give a answer that this is no relationship between 1-7. because processor > 6. But my problem is: this query executing is too slow. if i habe two member no relationship, the time of this complete sql query to execute is more than 1 minutes. Is my algorithm wrong, or where is the problem, why this executing is so slow? How can i quickly get the relationships between two member, if my algorithms is not right? The following Query is only to processor = 3, but it works too slowly, so i don't write remaining processors. declare @IDM int; declare @IDO int; set @IDM = 3418; set @IDO = 4270 select top 1 IDMember from v_ValidRelationships where IDMember = @IDM and @IDO in (select a.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as a where a.IDMember = @IDM)
select top 1 a.IDMember, b.IDMember from v_ValidRelationships as a, v_ValidRelationships as b where a.IDMember = @IDM and b.IDMember in (select c.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as c where c.IDMember = @IDM) and @IDO in (select d.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as d where d.IDMember = b.IDMember )
select top 1 a.IDMember, b.IDMember, e.IDMember from v_ValidRelationships as a, v_ValidRelationships as b, v_ValidRelationships as e where a.IDMember = @IDM and b.IDMember in (select c.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as c where c.IDMember = @IDM) and e.IDMember in (select f.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as f where f.IDMember = b.IDMember) and @IDO in (select d.IDOtherMember from v_ValidRelationships as d where d.IDMembe = e.IDMember)
If someone has a idea, please help me. Thank a million Best Regards Shasha

Hey everyone, I'm in the midst of setting up hMailServer on my server and at one point it tells me to enter the name of my database I setup for my email. I entered my database name along with the username and password to access the database. What I'm lost on is the database server address. I thought that would be localhost but I wasn't quite sure and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with this. Thanks for any help, QWERTYtech
I am having difficulty restoring a database (DB_1) consists of 2 datafiles and one log file, DB Structure is as following:
Filegroup PRIMARY with file name 'fnm_data' with physical file name and location D:dbfile_1.mdf, Filegroup 'FG1' with file name 'fgnm1_data1' with physical file name and location F:dbfile_FG1.mdf, One log file with file name 'fnm_log' with physical file name and location (E:loglog_db.ldf)
{Note} Logfile resides on E drive whereas Datafiles reside on several other drives.
I need to restore the DB on another machine. And I need to move the log file to a drive other than E.In this case it is K drive. Hence I have used the following code,
restore log DB_1 from disk='M:kupccciclog.txt'
WITH RESTRICTED_USER , MOVE 'fnm_log'
TO 'K:DBlog_db.ldf', recovery, replace,RESTART
go
When I try to restore from backup files, I keep error message saying "Physical file name E:loglog_db.ldf may be incorrect." 'fnm_log' cannot be restored. Use Move command to identify a valid location for the file.
Even though I am using Move command to move the log file.
Then I found that if I create a drive with E: and a folder named 'log' then restore program runs alright. That is, when E:log exists then code does run smoothly. All the restore code is looking for the presence of path of the log file from where it is been backed up. In this case it is E:log folder. Once the database is restored I could kill that directory and nothing happens. Also log file has been restored on K:DB only.
Why the restore code is looking for the initial drive letter and path even though I have used Move command? Is there an issue in my code?
How do I dynamically change the file path for the source file in DTS? Can i use global variable?. if so , How do i use it in the connection task. Appreciate your help.
I have a question on how to change a hyperlink path. I have an ADP that has our scanned files linked to it the path is on SQL server.

What is the "prefer" path for moving from SQL 7 to SQL 2005? Please give me the pros and cons for: backup sql 7 and restore it onto sql 2005 vs. migrate sql 7 to sql 2005. In both cases, please give me the pit falls. Thank you.
no results during my search of the web, maybe one of yours can help.
Is there a possibility (during design time is OK) to find out, which TaskHost is before and after a CustomTask (by wiring in ssis-designer) and which type of wire it is (Error, Finish, Success).
Maybe the order of executables is providing this information, when there are no props or methods (and i found none), but then you don't know anything about the type.
Setup: I'm using SQLCE on a VB.Net (2005) desktop applicaiton. I have strongly typed datasets pointing to tables in the SDF. The path to the sdf is |DataDirectory|DataQQ.sdf
Problem: When I run my application, I have a list of context sensitive tasks that appear as buttons. When the user steps into a control, the app retrieves a list of context tasks from the SDF and populates the buttons. When the user pushes one of the buttons, for example "View File" the appropriate action takes place. However, when the user enters into the next field, I get a SQLCeException telling me the path could not be found (error 25009). The Path it gives is Path = .DataQQ.sdf
It points to the task of getting data from the Context Tasks table. The problem is, though, that it just accessed that same path and same table to populate the task list. I've manually checked the file location in explorer as well as openning up the database in Management Studio. It exists and opens fine. But for some reason, it seems to lose the path or connection in between 2 identical calls.
I don't believe I saw this problem until after I switched TO strongly typed datasets.
I am trying to retrieve pdf(s) from our server using a UNC path. I created a textbox with the value
=Fields!DisplayLink.Value. I coded my Action property with a constant to test to see how it works in "Jump to URL" \RALEIGHPurchase179104620071017910461001070724.pdf and the pdf is not showing up. Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm having problems using the ReportViewer control (which you can use in VS2005). When I go to the page that contains the control, the images (back, next, print, etc) don't show up and I get different javascript errors (one of them is the "RSClientController is undefined" error). After some investigation, I found out that the path to the Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd file is incorrect (as I see it in the page source). On every place this axd file is used (for the images and the necessary javascript file), the path is "/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?...", while it should be "/reportserver/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?...". If I go directly to the "/reportserver/..." url, I can retrieve the images and javascript file. So, somewhere the path to the axd file is set in a wrong way.
For example: <script src="/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?OpType=Resource&Version=8.0.50727.42&Name=Scripts.ReportViewer.js" type="text/javascript"></script> while this should be: <script src="/ReportServer/Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd?OpType=Resource&Version=8.0.50727.42&Name=Scripts.ReportViewer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I have included the ReportViewer control in a usercontrol (ascx). This usercontrol is implemented in Sharepoint using the "Son of Smartpart" webpart. I'm using SQL Reporting Services 2005 (with the database, SQL Server 2005, hosted on another server). Using the ReportManager, everything is fine.
I really need to get this working, but I'm out of ideas (I've been searching for days to solve this, but can't seem to find the correct solution).
On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?
