For some reason my backups (Transaction log and full backups) have started failing. When looking at the job histoy for the step that failed it reports:
*****(0.011 MB/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 3014) Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3023) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). NOTE: The step was retried the requested number of times (3) without succeeding. The step failed.*****
I have tried running the SQL for the step manually and I get:
Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 36
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
The step is only determining what day of the week it is and putting it in to a '@bkupday' variable then: "BACKUP LOG [model] TO @bkupday WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'Model Log Backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, DESCRIPTION = N'Model log backup', NOFORMAT" for each database and log.
This had been working fine, but for some reason has now started playing up. (trying to workout wether this ties in with when I started merge replication of one of the DBs)
Any one got any ideas as to what might be causing this as it's happened for a couple of nights now?
Hi, I have a scheduled maintenance plan that backs up my database (SQL 2000). The db is 108 Meg. Usually the backup files are around 89 Meg and the transaction log backups are around 4.5 Megs.
The problem is that every once a while the backup fails with the following error:
[Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 3202: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Write on 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBACKUPCRM_db_200312230100.BAK' failed, status = 112. See the SQL Server error log for more details. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
What usually happens is that the last backup that has failed has a size of 9 or 8 Gigs!
My guess is that a backup file gets corrupt (the size increases to 8 Gigs) and the server runs out of space and won’t be able to do more backups. However I can’t figure out why the backup file size increases to and gets corrupt.
I have full backups scheduled weekly, differentails scheduled daily and tran log ackups scheduled for every 15 minutes.
The tran log backups only work for the first 40 minutes or so after the daily backup. Once the daily has occured, the tran backups will work again, but for only 40 minutes.
I run consistency checks on the db daily and there are no errors.
The error returned from the tran log backup is 'BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup'
Hi, I run 2 steps viz with NORECOVERY and with RECOVERY in sequence as SQP jobs. The 2nd step fails some times. When it starts failing, I run full backup of the production server again and the 2nd step starts succeding. Unless I run the full backup the 2nd step keeps on failing.
What are the conditions which generate for [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013) and how to tackle this problem.?
The 2 steps are :- 1.RESTORE DATABASE ARSYSTEM FROM DISK = 'E:SQL backup from productionsql_full_backup' WITH Replace , MOVE 'arsystem' TO 'd:ardataarsystem.mdf' , MOVE 'arsystem_log' TO 'D:ARLOGARsystem' , NORECOVERY GO
2.RESTORE DATABASE ARSYSTEM FROM DISK = 'E:SQL backup from productionSQL daily diff back up' WITH Recovery
The status of the 2 steps is : 1 Executed as user: BPOTESTREMEDY emedybackup. Processed 104480 pages for database 'ARSYSTEM', file 'ARSystem' on file 1. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 4035) Processed 1 pages for database 'ARSYSTEM', file 'ARSystem_log' on file 1. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 4035) RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 104481 pages in 49.452 seconds (17.307 MB/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 3014)
2. Cannot apply the backup on device 'E:SQL backup from productionSQL daily diff back up' to database 'ARSYSTEM'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3136) RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
The space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?

Hi!Currently we only have one SQL Server database in our production system. I would like to add one more SQL server 2000 database. I would like to configure them so that both server share the load and Failover. I did some research and I found that I can do this by installing the OS (Windows 2000 Server Enterprise Edition) and SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on both machines using the windows clustering. I want both servers to be active. They both have a copy of the production data. What I don't know is that, if it is possible to synchronize the data on both databases using SQL Server Replication utitlites. From what I know one SQL Server must be Publisher and one Subscriber. Can one sql server be both? Because I want both sql server to be identical. Can I set up replication between more than 2 servers? We just need to add one server for now but I would like it to be expandable. In the future we may need more.So Please provide me some ideas and answers about the following.1- Can two SQL Server cross replicate (both update each other in order to be identical)?2 -Does replication work beyond 2 servers.?3- If you were to set up a production database; what do you recommend considering the load balancing and Failover using Windows 2000 Server Enterprise Edition and SQL Sever 20000 Enterprise Edition?Thanks,Michael
NT EE, MSCS, SQL 7.0 in Active/Passive environment. Add'l SQL installed on Passive server is hosting our Report database(any tips on Log Shipping?). Anyway, I am unable to configure a client to connect to the secondary server via TCP/IP sockets.(Error 10061). I use the standard port 1433 and I've tried using both the name and the IP address for the server name.
What it looks like it's doing is only listening to port 1433 on the hearbeat nic. The reason I believe this is because when I ping the server name from that server, it returns a succesful ping, but using the heartbeat(seperate subnet)nics IP address.
Ping from a remote box works fine(DNS/Wins Resolution), and I connect fine with Named Pipes.
Both the primary and secondary server display the same results, the difference appears to be that only a virtual server in a clustered environment can have TCP/IP clients connect to it.
Can anyone verify this for me? Thanks a bunch...
MS says to go Active/Active and I am willing to do so, eventually. Looking for a short term solution.
I'm not able to listen on a different port(again, appears only a Virtual server can).
I have a client that has a table that after recreating the database from scratch it has a table that can not drop one of the eight indexes. Has anyone seen something like that? What did you do?
First I am fairly new to SQL Server 2005 Clustering so this is why I was to see if any of you might be able to help me.
Are current setup is as follows:
CRM1 SERVER 2K3 R2 xxx.xxx.xxx.74
CRM2 SERVER 2K3 R2 xxx.xxx.xxx.75
HP MSA1000 xxx.xxx.xxx.75
MSDTC IP xxx.xxx.xxx.77
SQL INSTANCE xxx.xxx.xxx.78
Now are CRM guys are trying to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.78 for there SQL instance or RDP into this ip address and they can’t…Now the question is should they be able yto logon to the SQL Instance via RDP?

Hi group,being pretty new to setting up sql server, I am stuck. Have installed sql 2000 server on Win 2000 server, IIS 5.0.

i installed sql server express, but i did not select to use mixed mode (the reason being for this that every time i did i got a install coruption error) i want to be able to connect the database remotly using the sqlservers jdbc driver. however i need a user name and password. therefore to do this i believe i need to be able to acess the database remotly.
ive tried everthing: 1. changing the surface area remote conenctions to allow remote connections using tcp and ip only 2. restarted the database 3. restarted the server 4. restarted the browser 5. checked the tcp/ip settings are enabled.
but when i do the follwing in command line i get this:
C:>osql -E [SQL Native Client]VIA Provider: The specified module could not be found. [SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired [SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
which indicates that its still not allowing remote conenctions, any ideas?
I am working with the ssis packages.I am working in the development enviroment.Once i place them on the server all my connection to text files fails.I dont want to sit and Keep changing with respect to server again and again.
What is the best way to set connection like for example:in my development it can be on e:data folder But on server F:Data With me changing again and again, can this be set within the package in the development environment.

A few months ago, I was trying to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 on a cluster (Active-Active), the Cluster has 3 instances, 2 lives in one node and the other one in the other node. When I try to make the deployment an error message appear, I do not have the error right now but it€™s something like €œCould not connect to the passive node, installation failed€?. The worst part of the error was all instances shut down and I couldn€™t bring on line and I have to reinstall all instances. I need to install SP2 but I€™m a little afraid fail again. Do you know the best way to deploy the SP2 on a cluster? Maybe move all instances in one node before install SP2? Can you help me with your comments. Do you think I have problems with the windows cluster?

I developed a intranet web application that stores about 1000+ new entries into a SQL Server database over the course of about a half hour. This runs 24/7 so its a very busy application. SQL Server is running on a server with a RAID 5 array which runs very good but I want to better guard against data loss. If I run a backup at 8:00 AM and the roof falls on the server crushing and destroying it at 5:00 PM, we just lost thousands of records that were made between 8am and 5pm that cannot be replaced. I was thinking of adding a second server so when an entry is made it would be stored on both servers. The second server would be located at a different location so if 1 gets crushed we could just pick up where we left off and I wouldn't have to update my resume..... Does this sound like a good idea or could anyone recommend a better solution? Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to backup a remote SQL Server database to my local system? It is not working for me as I'm getting error as given below Cannot open backup device 'path'. Device error or device offline Any idea??
Does anyone know how to get SQL Server to see a network drive for backups? Even when trying to create a backup device on a network drive using UNC naming, SQL Server seems to have a problem with accepting it. If you browse for a place to put the device, only the local drive is accessible.
I am working on a new SQL Server 7.0 system and have gotten to the issue of backing up and restoring the database. I am fairly new to SQL Server 7.0 and I am not sure how good the built in backup/resore is in SQL Server 7.0. The other optioin I have is Seagate Backup Exec which is currently being used for network backups.
Our e-business group will be running SQL Server as a backend and C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET application on the front end. Besides my enternal backups of user data on the database. What would you suggest for the Network team to backup and how offen. This is for productions. I usally get a full drive dump on the Dev network daily appended,and weekly archived. Any suggestion for production.
I have a job scheduled to backup a production database every night at 10pm. It will run fine for a number of days and then fail with the error:
Msg 3201, Sev 16: Cannot open backup device 'PCSLogisticsDB'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. [SQLSTATE 42000] Msg 3013, Sev 16: BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] Msg 0, Sev 0: Associated statement is not prepared [SQLSTATE HY007] The backup set is valid. [SQLSTATE 01000]
When I go back and run it manually it works fine and then will run on it's own for a few more days. I've checked and File System backups aren't running at the time the backup kicks off. Has anyone experienced this?
I'm looking for an opinion on an architecture I'm thinking of rolling out.I have a HA cluster with 3 nodes:
Primary -- Main SQL Server Failover -- Passive node, only used in DR scenario Reporting -- Read Intent only queries directed here, SSRS.
I am pondering with the idea of balancing the backups out between 2 nodes as follow:
Primary: Full backup weekly, daily incremental. Reporting: Log backups every 5 minutes.
I have tested that I can indeed restore the logs from the secondary node using the Full and Diff from the other server, no worries there.My concern is what will happen to the logs on the primary and fail-over server. Will they just grow, grow and grow?
I'm trying to create a backup set which maintains only a fixed number ofdays. As such, I've got the following script:BACKUP DATABASE [mydb] to [mydb Backup Set] WITH NOINIT, NOUNLOAD,NAME=N'My Database Backup', NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT,RETAINDAYS=5DECLARE @i INTselect @i=position from msdb.backupset where database name='mydb'and type!='F' amd backup set id=(select max(backupset set id) frommsdb.backupset where database name='mydb')RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM [mydb Backup Set] WITH FILE=@iThis script was created automatically, but I added the RETAINDAYS bit. Ionly want the past five days of backups available, but when I check thelist, I've got backups dating back to December 2003! The older backupsare correctly being marked as expired, but they are still on the list!How can I purge the list to only have the last five days of backups?Thanks in advanceJohnny
I have a SQL Server job, which runs mutiple steps. One of the steps(step 3) looks for a record in the database. How can I explicitly failthe SQL server job if the database record does not exist?
We have SQL Server 2000 Standard and recently moved from Exchange 5.5to Exchange 2003. This problem occurred both before and after thee-mail change.We would like to send notifications of failed jobs to multiple peoplein case one person happens not to be in on the day there is a problem.Setting up an operator with an e-mail name that combines twoaddresses seems to work ok as long as we use a format like thefollowing:smith_john; jones_maryorJoin Bytes!; Join Bytes!However, when we add a third name, we start getting problems. Thefirst and third accounts listed get the message but the second onedoes not -- apparently because the address gets corrupted. Forexample (based on the message received at one of the good addresses),a message sent to:Join Bytes!; Join Bytes!;Join Bytes!goes to Smith and Jackson successfully but Jones' address is corruptedto:Join Bytes!omand, of course, fails.From some other testing, it appears that the last three characters ofthe first address always get appended to the end of the secondaddress.Has anyone else run across this? If so, is there a known fix? I hadhoped Exchange 2003 would fix the problem. Most likely, we will trysetting up a personal distribution list under the account from whichthe messages are sent. I just wanted to give one more shot to findingthe problem -- both because I would like to know and because beingable to string together addresses is a little easier than having to gothrough the person who can give us access to the account to set thePDL.Thanks.Jonathan LevyChicago Department of Public Health
