We recently upgraded to SQL 2005. A windows service account was setup for the SQLServer agent as(domainuser). Our backups are failing with the following message.
Unable to perform a SETUSER to the requested username 'dbo' because the username is invalid for database.
The master and msdb backups are working fine.
Backup failed to complete the command backup database [ ] TO VIRTUAL DEVICE = ' { 853D3FC0 - 45EA -85B1 - 54F0EA379CAC } 24 ' WITH SNAPSHOT , BUFFERCOUNT = 1 , BLOCKSIZE = 1024

I was trying to restore some databases from one SQL Server to another SQL server on another machine. When i backed up them i followed the procedure described on the MSDN website.
Now when tried to restore them on to a new machine on another instance of SQL Server i got the following error. I really dont know what it means. The error is:
"Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite.mdf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Device activation error. The physical file name 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf' may be incorrect.
File eRoom_eRoomSite cannot be restored to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL$SOPHOSDataeRoom_eRoomSite_log.ldf'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."
Now from the file location i can see that it has got the location of database where it was belong but question is why it is storing the old path here on the backup file. On the path "MSSQL$SOPHOS" is the instance of the SQL Server from where it was backed up. According to the Administrator's pocketbook on the microsoft web site we can restore a database on a completely new machine, then why is this error. Can anyone please help me.
Thanks very much.
I am needing to restore a SQL server 7 database. I had a backup, but the media it was on has failed. I have copies of the folder the original database was in (.mdf files and such), but I was wondering if there is a way to re-integrate these files in order to pick up where we left off. Thank you.

We backup the database using the following method
1. launch the DacIESvcCli.exe at specified time, which in-turn calls the service (southeast asia).
2. the bacpac is created and uploaded to the specified storage
However, after upgrading the Server to V12, it failed to create bacpac file in the storage, there are no errors/no logs/no information.
Tran Backup failed. How to find the database for which Tran Backup failed as attached?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have SQL Server 2000 with SP4. When we take backup from Enterprise manager its fails with error "timeout expired". But when we take backup from query analyzer it works.
It seems that through enterprise manager 30 sec is the non configurable timeout parameter set. Checked sysprocesses table during backup but there was no blocking during that time at least for that spid.
Is there a way to find out which process is blocking the database backup? Also, what are the possible scenarios where database backup can be blocked.
Thanks,
Ramesh
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?
Hi,
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Thanks in advance

Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?

Hi there
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?
Thanks
Jane
Hi,
I am administering several SQL Servers running SQL Server 2005 SP2 Build 3042.
I have a common maintenance plan that runs on each of the servers. The maintenance plan runs
fine on all the servers except for one. On the one server the Database Integrity check fails with the following error:
Check Database integrity on Local server connection
Databases: <list of databases>
Include indexes
Task start: 2008-02-21T00:05:42.
Task end: 2008-02-21T00:05:46.
Failed0) Alter failed for Server €˜XYZ€™
I created a test maintenance plan to just do the integrity check and selected one database only and this also failed with the same error message. I ran this test maintenance plan and configured it for each of the databases in question and it failed each time.
If I run the DBCC manually against the databases they all report fine.
I read some of the post that talked about the €œAllow Updates€? being set incorrectly but that does not apply to my problem since my configured and run values are set to 0.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
What dose this error mesage mean?
The Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) soft filemark database on backup device 'VbLSADBMCBACKUPvatt_cequest_backup.BAK' cannot be read, inhibiting random access. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3266)
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed
My DB backup to hard drive fails and the SQL error log contains the following message:
The Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) soft filemark database on backup device '%ls' cannot be read, inhibiting random access.
In SQL this is error 3266 but no other information is available.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thanks

This is our live database, so I have to be careful with what I do. Some googling hasn't really helped. dbcc shows nothing.

So, if anyone knows how I can get around this to backup my data, I'd love to know.

"[298] SQLServer Error: 3621, The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)"

Hi All,
I got SQL agent backup failed problem which took me 2 days , but still couldn't figure out, so tired. Help please!!!
2 days ago,the database was using my domain account to logon both SQL server and SQL agent, the backup jobs worked good. Since I changed db to another domain account which has same permission as mine at both SQL server box and database, but almost all jobs got failed except "check integrity", and the error is "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User rose. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).". I checked the log files and backup report, could't get any clues, and I switch domain account back to mines, it works good . But my boss required me using another domain account , what should I do?
