Failure Of Transaction Log Backups
Jan 14, 2002
The Transaction log backups that I do for the msdb and master databases ALWAYS fail. The full database backups always succeed. Are the master and msdb databases not supposed to have their transaction logs backed up? Jobs where configured thru the Database Maintenance wizard. Will the jobs fail if nothing has changed in either database? I am also confused by the fact that database and log backups for the model database ALWAYS work when I expect their to be little if none activity in that database.
Thanks in advance,
Riley

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?

I setup a maintenance plan to create full backups every night and to backup the transaction logs every hour. In the backup log, it always fails on backing up the transaction log for Master and MSDB. I believe this is because the recovery model for these two databases is set to "SIMPLE". Is it ok to change the recovery model on these two system databases to "FULL"?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a backup for the transaction logs on one
of the databases I support. The problem is in EM, the only
options it gives me are a Full DB Backup or a Differential DB
Backup. I have other DB's with TL backup's, why can't I on this
particular one?

I have 5 databases on my sql server and they are taking backups on everyday twice. ANd we are not taking any transactional log backups.Now i have very larger log files which are more than 6 GB each.And the databases are less in size compared to the logfiles.
Should I take transaction log backups with truncate option...
PLease suggest me the best stratagy i should follow to overcome the problem.
Thanks.

Yesterday I received a message from the Trans Log backup job that it could not complete because a full backup wasn't completed. I checked and a full backup was completed that morning 5:00 AM. This happened during the 4 PM run and again at 5 PM. There was enough space to do the backup, even though I did a shrink file on the log. I, also, ran another backup between 5-6 PM. Between both of these activities, the job completed during the 6 PM run. Is this a common occurance? Has anyone else seen this happen. I am curious. Any light that can be shed on this, would be greatlt appreciated. Tom.

I have a backup regime where i take a full backup of my production database once a day and then 3 min log backups, I backup my msdb and master once a week.
I need to write a script to scroll through a given directory and restore the log backups in date/time order(with no restore) until the last file and then restore.
I know this is availible in the backup history but if my SQl box crashes and i cant get a uptodate master and msdb the backup history will not be uptodate to restore the database to it's current state.
Can anybody help with a script? or give me any pointers of how to read in filenames in SQL (please remenber i am a SQL virgin).
Thanks
Barry.

SQL 7 SP1 NT 4.0 SP5
I created a backup plan for transaction logs only to run every 30 minutes. It works great for all databases except the Master and my main database scdb_v2.
The routine backups up the other 3 databases with no issue.
Why is this happening ?
Thanks,

Using SQL Server 6.5 and NT 4.0,..I'm trying to schedule a backup of a transaction log from one SQL Server
to another SQL Server both running NT 4.0. I keep getting:
dbsvolopen:Backup device t:ackup
emote.dat failed to open, operating system error =5 (Access denied)
I've checked every conceivable permissions entry on the target NT server and am now reading about the
different security modes for communicating between SQL Servers but I'm concerned that this may not be
where the problem really resides. Time is money.
Has anyone else configured a backup strategy where the database has a full backup to tape daily and the
transaction log is backed up every couple of hours, without truncatre, to disk, on another SQL Server?
Thanks in advance,
Doug

Hi
We are running SQL Server 2000 and making full database backups using a maintenance plan. The transaction logs are being backed up via a separate plan.
However, the transaction log backups aren't purging but the database ones are. They are both run under the same id and both write to the same directory. Old text reports also get purged fine. I've got 'Delete older than 1 week' ticked for everything.
Can anyone think of anything else to check ?
Thanks

New to Sql Server, running SQL Server 2000.Our transaction log file backups occasionally fail as the size of thetransaction log gets really huge. We'd like to schedule additionaltransaction log backups. Does that require an exclusive on the databaseor can the db be used during a transaction log backup?Also, does switching to a bulk mode recovery model before a bulkoperation then switching back to full recovery mode after present anyissues?Thanks in advance.

Have a small shop and a maintenance plan that does a full backup on all user databases every night. I would have thought that a full backup (transaction log, too), would reduce the size of the transaction logs? Isn't that the point of a full backup? Mine seem to be growing larger. I do the shrink, rebuild indexes, backup the databse, backup the transaction log, clear history and folders older than 7 days. For example, the following db decreased only once during the period. But, note how the transaction log size continues to increases most of the time.
db, trn
253,196 - 394,245
253,193 - 365,695
253,191 - 360,572
254,219 - 381,699
254,223 - 406,346
254,223 - 411,018
Can someone explain this to me? Am I doing something wrong or just not understanding the process correctly?
Thanks,
Janet

Hi,
On our SQL Server 2005 SP 2 i recently updated our Backup Plan.
I now make a Full backup every night, Differential backup every hour and Transaction log backup every 15 minutes.
This all works fine all the time except sometimes when the differential and transaction log backups want to run on the same time and then 1 of the 2 fails.
The error i get is code 0xC0010018. Error loading a task.
I made 1 Maintenance Plan with a subplan for each backup type (Full, differ....), so i can schedule them the way i want.
Searched the internet for an answer but i couldn't find it. The tasks only fail when the run simultaneous. Starting them manually always works.
Anybody has an idea what i need to do to get this working properly?
Thanks!!

We have a maintenance plan in SQL 7.0 that is performs a full backup each night and is supposed to perform tran log backups every two hours throughout each business day. For the most part, the first tran log backup after the full backup works fine, but the others fail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The SQL server transition log backups for the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases have stopped working ever since I applied SQL Server SP2 to my TFS. I know this because I know the date the SQL SP was applied and I see that my transaction logs started to fail immediately after application of the SP. This is noted because the backup logs for SQL server start to contain the failure immediately after SP2 application. The failure is because the databases are now set to the simple recovery model (or they were set to the simple model before application of SP2 and the previous SQL server allowed or properly ignored transaction log backups with the simple database recovery model). Why is this failing since the backup task indicates that databases with simple recovery are automatically excluded? Is the reportserver and reportservertempdb both supposed to be simple recovery? I thought reportserver was usually full recovery.

I'm the dba for a large company and have setup many maintenance plans for our sql servers. One of the options I have set is to delete old backups of databases and transaction logs after 2 days. For some reason, the old database backups are being deleted, but the old transaction logs backups are not. I have them being put in the same directory. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what if any fix is available?

Hey, my logshipping is working just fine but the name of the backup file is of a concern to me. It's using the name in the format of DbName_20061011200002.trn. I know 20061011 is the date. That's fine. 2000 is supposed to be the time but it's giving the wrong time. It's supposed to be 1500 because the time right now is 3pm. And I dont know why the last 2 digits before the .trn are for. Is this something new in SQL 2005 logshipping? SQL 2000 didn't have it. Thank you.

I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. Â I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. Â I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.

I am using transaction replication between a transaction and reporting database server. When I use a snapshot to initialize my subscribers, I currently get a lot of deadlocks during the snapshot creation. I am considering using a database backup instead. Can anyone tells me how to reduce the table locks that I am getting during snapshot creation or advice on using database backups?

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?
Thankyou.

OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01c].
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
MSDTC is running on both servers. Has anyone ever seen this or have any insight into the cause?
The code that I’m trying to run is:
create table msver
(
[Index] int,
[Name] varchar(30),
Internal_Value varchar(20),
Character_Value varchar(512)
)
insert into msver
exec ('exec [REMOTESVR].master.dbo.xp_msver')
Note that the remote query works fine.
Thanks!
Eric

2.SQL error 3013: BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
3.SQL error 4214: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

I'm getting "Executed as user: SPIESQLService. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed." on the TRN backup portion of the maintenance plan for the msdb and model databases. On review of files created it's clear that the msdb trn log backup is failing, but there's no other error to indicate the underlying problem.
Suggestions?
TIA,
Al

I have some tables that I need to wipeout and reload once per day. So I have created a T-SQL task that does a truncate table, then a data flow task, then a update statistics task. Running those works fine, but as soon as I put them all into a sequence container and set the container to require transactions, the first step gets a connection failure. "Failed to acquire connection "<name>". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection". I am using a .Net SQLClient data provider for the T-SQL task and in the data flow task I have to use a OLEDB provider so that I can run the task locally in development.
Is there something I am doing wrong or is there some other way to handle truncate, load, update stats all in a transaction?
Thanks.
Tim

I've written some provider independent code that dynamically generates and loads DbCommands with data via Parameters and executes them within a transaction. Everything works fine until an exception occurs and then the DbCommand.Transaction property that was set goes to null, effectively killing any chance of rolling back the transaction. I've noticed this only happens when the executed command is of type SqlCommand. The OracleCommand mainitains its link to the set transaction of failure. Upon further investigation, I found that this only occurs when parameters are used but not if I dynamically generate the insert statement as a string.. For instance:SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);conn.Open();SqlTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction();SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();comm.Connection = conn;comm.Transaction = transaction; command.commandText = "INSERT INTO Table1 Values (1, 2, 3)";command.ExecuteNonQuery(); If I execute that and it fails the command.Transaction property will remain set to transaction, but in this scenario: SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);conn.Open();SqlTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction();SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();comm.Connection = conn;comm.Transaction = transaction; comm.commandText = "INSERT INTO Table1 Values (@Col1,@Col2, @Col3)";comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col1", 1); comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col2", 2);comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col3", 3); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); Upon failing the comm.Transaction property gets somehow goes null and the Connection property of the transaction object also goes null.Any ideas on why this only happens with a SqlCommand but no other DbCommand?

I have 14 beta users on a PPC application based on .NET CF 2.0 and SQLCE 3.0. Data is sent back and forth as XML via web services. One user cannot complete the initial download - he receivces the following error every time:
A foreign key value cannot be inserted because a corresponding primary key value does not exist. [ Primary key constraint name = FK_jobtask_job ]
I have run the queries for this user and verified that no task has a JobID that is not in the Job table. I am also able to successfully complete the initial download as the user in the Mobile 5.0 PPC emulator. His device has 130 MB of free storage space and 20 MB program space (my emulator has 11 MB storage and 70 MB program).
The initial download for this user is about 14 MB of XML, all of which will be inserted in the SDF under a single transaction. Although the SDF was only 4.75 MB on my emulator (after successfully downloading as this user) I am wondering if there is an unreported error in the handling of the transaction or its temp file that causes the error he receives. Frankly, I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have details about transaction temp file size limits or any other ideas that might lead to a resolution?

If I have a database backup from sunday, and a failure occurs monday... Can the backup .mdf and .ldf files be attached, and the backup log after the point of failure be applied to them?
The problem I am having is it looks like you can only restore from a .bak file, and then apply the log at the point of failure. IT doesn't look like you can restore the .ldf/.mdf files, and then apply the backup log from the point of failure.
Can someone please help? I'm in desparate need of fixing this !
Thanks,dp
