I wonder if anyone can help me with the following error message.
We use Sql 2000.
I wanted to backup the transaction log of a database with this command:
BACKUP LOG [testdb] TO [TestdbBCK] WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD ,
NAME = N'TestDB backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
and I got the following error message:
Server: Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The media set for database 'testdb' has 2 family members but only 1 are
provided. All members must be provided.
I know who MY family members are but I never knew that my databases have
family members !!!
Within the DB Maintenace Plan1, the Transaction Log is being backup. But the Transaction Log backup fails with the following message in Event Veiwer...
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'DB Maintenance Plan1'' (0xC83E14E2E989D147985A1AF15BD81A84) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2003-12-29 23:00:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 6 (Schedule 1). The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
The DataBase backup finishes. The Transaction does not. Can't find anything wrong. Help! Thanks...dmc
I've created 2 new jobs in Microsoft SQL Management Studio - one for full backup of database, and another - for backup of tran logs. The full backup is scheduled to run once every morning, and it runs just fine. However, tran log backup, which is scheduled to run every hour, has some problems. Sometimes it runs successfully 3-4 times and failing after that with this error: Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [survey_p0037832] TO DISK = N'G:\database backups\logs\survey_p0037832_backup_200708021000.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'survey_p0037832_backup_20070802100002', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup. BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
After I execute the full database backup on demand, then tran logs backup is runnung fine again for next 3-4 times... We do not have any conflict in time, I avoided that scenario... Do you know how can I fix it? Thank you
i am taking transaction log backup for every 4 hours the back task is failing showing the following error but still the backup file is creating ---------------------------------------------

My application returns the following error when a SQL call is made during a transaction log backup. Cannot open database requested in login 'login_name'. Login fails.
Has anyone come accross this problem before? or maybe worked around it?
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON Begin distributed Tran update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 COMMIT TRAN
It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx
We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?
I just heard that for restore purpose, ths full backup and transaction log backup should be from one maintenance plan. Otherwise transaction log backup files cannot be restored after restoring full backup files.
Is it true? Can anyone offer official documents?
In my system, full and transaction backups are from one maintenance plan. Restores are doing fine. I am not sure that ideal is true or not.
I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
I'm receiving the below error when trying to implement Execute SQL Task.
"The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION." This error also happens on COMMIT as well and there is a preceding Execute SQL Task with BEGIN TRANSACTION tranname WITH MARK 'tran'
I know I can change the transaction option property from "supported" to "required" however I want to mark the transaction. I was copying the way Import/Export Wizard does it however I'm unable to figure out why it works and why mine doesn't work.
I have a full backup and transaction log backup strategy for my test server. My transaction log backup is failing as some user must have run some nonlogged operation. Is there any way to find out what is causing transaction log backup to fail?
I have a problem w/ my Transaction Log Backup. The backup files continues to grow and grow and grow. I have created a new Transaction Log backup through EM, but instead of appending each backup to the existing backup file, I overwrite the existing backup file. My gut feeling is that this is not right. If it isn't, then how can I continue to backup my TL's w/o having the file growing at an astronomical pace?
Is there a possibility to recover a database up to the point of failure ? I have a database with a primary datafile and a transaction logfile. I have backup of the database and transaction log backups upto an hour before failure. But I also want to recover one hour data which is in the transaction log. I have lost my primary datafile.
Is there a way to recover ?
How do I backup the transaction log before starting restore ?
Hi friends, I have set up the Transaction Log backup on one server he was running fine for few hour later he failed for two times and then after full backup it is running fine. Can any one of shed some light on this issue. Error: Cannot allow BACKUP LOG because file 'ZTVData' has been subjected to nonlogged updates and cannot be rolled forward. Perform a full database, or differential database, backup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4213) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
I've set up 4 database maintenance plans for my databases. 1 for all system databases, and the other three for specific databases. they back up to a network drive on another computer.
The plans are set up to do complete backups every day and then transaction log backups every 15 minutes.
The complete backups work fine. They all create the backups on the network drive. The transaction log backups are only created for one of the databases though. All the others report "successful completion" but they don't actually create the backup file. I looked at the report created and it never has a step that backs up the transaction log. I compared the T-SQL code from the one transaction backup job that works to one that doesn't and all the commands are exactly the same (aside from different directories to save in to, job numbers, etc).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I've deleted the maintenance plans and recreated them to no avail. I've also created an on the side differential backup that works as well.
I am using ArcserveIT 2000 SQL Agent to backup my SQL Server 7.0 db. I perform a full backup (with archive on) every day. ArcserveIT backsup both database and transaction log files. 'Truncate log on chkpt' is set to False in the databases. If I don't use SQL server's backup command with trunc. log on chkpt to true, will the transaction log file ever get trimmed? Does a third party backup utility like ArcserveIT will do something similar to 'backup command' in SQL server 7. Anyone using ArcserveIT SQL Server 7.0 Agent, please comment. Thanks
Has anyone ever had an issue with a Transaction Log being backed up but not truncating? We’ve been having trouble with this and now have to truncate the log manually. Any information at this point will be useful. Thank you.
Hi, Can anybody help me in, When to take backup of transaction log and how to schedule it?
My database is in Full recovery mode with two log files. I am doing mass insertion, then i am getting the following error "The log file for database 'nags' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space." I have taken backup of transaction log. now also it is giving the same error.
Any suggestions how to handle to this situation, to prevent the above error.
What is the proper way to backup a transaction log for a database whose name contains a space. (I.E. DBname = Database Name). I am trying to execute a command, but it does not like the space in the database name. I have also tried wrapping the name in single quotes and parethesis to no avail.
We have a couple of databases in same server, and I set up the job on SQL server agent for backup transactions, a few dbs log backup successful, but a few are always failed, no error message be given, only can check the report --- "Backup can not be performed on database 'Agrdev'. This sub task is ignored ....," I checked all db property and set up , couldn't find out what's going on. Did anyone can help me?
Hi, I have error when i backup the transaction log of master and msdb database. I think there is an error because the model of this database is simple. can i modify the model and write full ?
I have another question, I have a db with 1 db file of 11Go, i have to create secondary files or not.
Hello!!I am relatively new to SQL and am having a problem. I have taken overa SQL 2000 db that did not have any backup plans scheduled for it. Icreated a maintenance plan that backs up the database every night andanother plan that backs up the system databases once a week. I ranboth these jobs successfully, but when I created a third plan tobackup the transaction log it fails with the following message:Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE42000] (Error 22029). The step failed. I then executed the followingstatement: sp_grantlogin 'NT AuthoritySystem' which did not work.I still do not understand why I can't backup the log? The databasebacks up fine with no errors so it can't be a permission thing and Icreated the job with a maintenance plan so it has to be in fullrecovery mode. Right? How do I tell? Thank you for all yourresponses!!NS
Thanks a lot for all the replies. I'm trying to set up a job to do transaction log backup. I used the maintainence plan to create the job. the code is quite long and not very straight forward, I do not even see the BACKUP LOG .. command. Do people usually use maintainence plan for this purpose or they write their own script and then create the job?
Hi, I have one doubt about Transaction backup. I want to take backup of highly growing database. I will take full backup every 3 days, differential backup every 1 day and transaction backup every 6 hours.
Now my question is- When I take a transaction backup do it take backup of all transactions which are currently in progress and not committed in database? OR What are the chances of loosing transactions which are currently running on system while I take a backup?
We are experiencing problems with our transaction log backup. The follow error appears when we attempt the backup.
"Backup, CHECKALOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a datbase must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC or the file manipulation operation is completed."
We turned on "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and created an online backup. Then we turned off "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and manually saved the transaction log to tape. We thought all was well until the scheduled job to backup the transaction log to tape brought back the same error.
We have a job created by the maintenance job wizard that backs up the transaction logs for all of our databases on an hourly basis. At random intervals, one of the tranaction log backups will fail with the following message in the job history: sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
The next scheduled transaction log backup will run fine the next hour. The sqlmaint.exe is present and executable. There are no additional messages in the SQL Server error log or SQL Agent error log. Any ideas what causes this random failure?
I seem to have a problem with my SQL Server log backup system. First I was receiving alerts that the log file was filling up, so I increased it from 3Mb to 150Mb, but then I got another alert saying the same thing, later on I got an alert saying that the log backup had failed. I then decided to truncate the log and do a full backup after as suggested, however this did not work, I don't know if I am doing something wrong, this is really confusing and frustrating.
I have scheduled transaction log backups to occur every 15 minutes with database backups every sunday at 1.00AM and differential db backups every day at 1.30AM.
While viewing the job history of the transaction log backups through enterprise manager, I noticed that one transaction log backup had failed at 1.00AM on sunday. The error message was,
"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). The step failed. "
Please let me know what the error message implies. Will there be any problem if the transaction log backup takes place at the same time as the full database backup or diff. db backup?
