Underneath is my backup SQL statement. On day 7, how do I tell SQL to delete the backup set of day 1 from Test.bak
DATABASE [Test] TO DISK = N'C:MSSQL BACKUPSTest.bak' WITH RETAINDAYS = 6, NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N 'Test-Full Database BackuP', NOSKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I have a backup that runs every evening. I set the backup to expire in 7 days time and have it appended to an existing backup set.
When I look at the contents of the backup set I can still see backups which have expired and show the expired date in the past.
e.g. It is 23/11/2007 today and I view my backup set and can still see backups showing an expiry date of 22/11/2007.
I need to remove the expired backups from the set as I do not want the backup set file growing too large in size and therefore a pain to transfer off of the server to another location.
I tried to find somewhere I can remove expired backups from within Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express but am unable to locate anywhere to do this. I know you can view the contents of a backup set by selecting the database > Tasks > Backup and then Clicking 'Contents' button.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

I am getting this error when I try to back up the larger DB's on myserver. The smaller ones back up ok. Is there a parameter I can changeto increase this timeout? I have gone into ODBC, Query Analyzer, andSQL server properties and played around with some settings, but nothingseems to work.Any help is appreciated!Phil
View 1 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,

I am trying to configure a maintenance plan in SQL 2005 to do a full backup every day and to do log file backups every hour.
What I want to do is to keep 3 days worth of full backups and 24 hours of log backups and remove all the backups older that this from the server so that I do not use all of my disk space. I will then backup these files to tape so that I have a good backup history.
In SQL 2000 there was a simple option to remove backup files older than a given time frame. Is there an option to do this in 2005? If not can you suggest a way that I can do this.
Hello, everyone:
I have a backup plan that remove the old backup files more than two days. Last Monday, the SQL Server restart. Since that, the backup is fine, but it didn't remove the old backup files. Why and how to handle that? Thanks

I am in plan to implement following for backup of one of our database Enable Full recovery mode
1- Create full backup nightly
2- Create transaction log backup after every 25 min
as I am taking full backup every night, I think I can remove transaction log file backups at the time of full backup, as we can apply transaction log backup over full backup.My question is regarding removal of transaction log backups.
-Should I remove all transaction log backups and then execute full backup?
-Should I execute full backup and remove all transaction log backup older than 24Hrs ?
-Do I have to consider SCN or related info before deleting any transaction log backup ?
I don't want to any body can backup of my database, even i can also not able to take backup.
View 17 Replies View RelatedHas anyone been able to successfully delete old backup files(*.bak) and tran logs (*.trn) TOGETHER using maintenance plan cleanup task in SQL 2005 SP2.
this is transact sql running in the back ground.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'"bak" & "trn"',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1
This DOESNT WORK.
It works if I just try to delete only one of the things ie trn or bak files.
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'F:MSSQL.2MSSQLBackupibmdir',N'bak',N'2007-03-26T22:21:14',1

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
Thanks

I need help,
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?
I appreciate your help, Thanks

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

"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding"
I get this message when I execute a stored procedure which normally took 3-5 minutes to run. The CommandTimeout for this is set to 10 minutes and the SP is timing out recently. This app has ran successfully in the past. The SP ran alone takes 5 minutes from Query Analyzer from my machine. The Stored procedure creates some temp tables and deletes, inserts records in different servers. I have tried hosting the application on my box but it still timedout. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance
Hi to all, I create a project using asp.net,c# & sql server. Some time i meet the below problem when connecting to sql server. how to solve this by coding?. Timeout expired. The
timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may
have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was
reached
Can anyone see a reason that the application keeps timing out, it was work fine a couple of days ago.
private DataTable Search6HostPlaces(string host) { DataTable dt; host = lblHostname.Text;
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("matchHost", cn); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pHost", host);
SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter(); sda.SelectCommand = cmd;
DataSet ds = new DataSet(); cn.Open(); <--------------------------------------------------------Timeout when is gets here
sda.Fill(ds, "HostName"); dt = ds.Tables["HostName"];
cn.Close();
//dt.Rows.Count.ToString();
return dt; }
public void CountRecords() {
DataTable dt = Search6HostPlaces("host");
lblTest.Text = dt.Rows.Count.ToString(); }
I am trying to execute a stored proc from a .NET web page. I get the error message: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
I have seen some posts that say that I need to set the connection timeout. Is this correct? How do i do it.
I use a class in the code behind to get the connection.
Thanks

Hi,
I've been stuck on this for ages! Suddenly yesterday all my websites started getting timeout expired every time they made a database connection on our local server. I dont know whats happened to cause this as no one messed around with any settings - now I cant make any websites locally to our websites and is proving to be a big annoyance.
Can anyone tell me what the possible causes of this are and how to remedy them!
If this is of any use in enterprise manager I can connect and run queries no problem its only when our asp pages try to access the databases we get the error "timeout expired"
Thanks to all who respond!

Hi
I try to import excell data in a microsoft sql server2000 database.
Most of the time but not always I get the timout error below:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Basically I create a DataSet with the data of the excell

get the timeout here: da.RunProc("pCustomerImport",prams, out dr1);.
This is where the procedure to import one single row is executet.

int iRows = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;
for (int x=0;x<iRows;x++)

"" & ds.Tables[0].Rows[x].ItemArray[0].ToString() ! null)
{
ImportCustomer(ds.Tables[0].Rows[x],da);
}
}
}

Hello,
For some reason I can not connect to SQL via EM/QA if I'm on server inself, but I'm successfully connecting from any client machine.
Any clues on that?
Thanks
I am getting a Timeout Expired error in my VB6 app running against a SQL Server 2000 database. It seems to run great at first, but performance slowly degrades until the user finally receives the error message...
There are actually several smaller apps running simultaneously on the client machines - could they be stepping on each other? Would using 'Bound Tokens' help?
Thanks,

Can anybody please help me so that I can fix this problem.
Thank you very much!

We have a website which uses classic ASP with a SQL Server 2000 database. For some reason this morning pages that have had no problem, are now timing out. The lines it tells me it is timing out at is a line where we update a record in the database. The site has been running fine until today. Other sites which connect to different databases on the same SQL server are running fine. Everything on this one site has slowed to a crawl. Here is the error on one of the pages that is returned
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired

Hi guys,
We're using SQL Server 2005 and we've developed banking systems. Some bank-branches do not encounter this problem "Timeout Expired" but others do.
When the user updates the passbook of the client, say more than 12 lines of transactions, the interface would pop "timeout expired".
What is your advice ?
Thank you
After executing osql from the command line via the Windows scheduledtask interface, the following error is returned: "Timeout expired"The code in the sql is as follows:BACKUP Database DBName to DISK='D:FilesBackupsDBName.bak' WITH INITgoIs the timeout happening during the backup or in just connecting to theserver? There is no firewall between the two machines they are on thesame hub, and the machine executing osql has SQL 2000 installed whilethe database machine has SQL 2005.Any ideas?
