Log Shipping(sqlserver 2005) Backup Job Failure
Feb 1, 2008
Hi
Im planning to setup sqlserver 2005 log shipping between two servers.The size of the database is around 50GB and we are taking transaction log backup and shipping at 30mins interval.
Suppose if the backup job couldnt take the transaction log backup with in the specified interval ie 30mins,then how does the copy and restore job works. Will it give an error saying tht the transaction log could nt be copied and restored ???
How to deal with this kind of situations where the backup is taking more time than the threshold time limit and ur copy,restore fails. Is there a way to handle this kind of situation in logshipping Sqlserver 2005.
and how does it affect the Secondary database. ??
Please help me out !!
Thnkx in advance
Regards

Hi Guys,
I am doing a fullbackup once a day and transaction log backup every 15 mins.
The jobs are running fine on both primary server and secondary server (restores always with norecovery).
But unexpectedly I am receiving the below error on the secondary server from yesterday.
Eg:
The transaction log backup taken at xyz_13_00.trn fails and I cannot go further.
Msg 4330, Sev 16: The log in this backup set cannot be applied because it is on a recovery path inconsistent with the database. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
If I try restoring from the transaction log backup taken at xyz_12_45.trn, it restores fine.
The statement that I use,
restore log xyz from disk='E:MSSQLsqlbackupTranlogBackupxyzxyz_13_ 00.trn'
with replace,norecovery,
move 'xyz_log' to 'f:mssqldataxyz_Log.LDF'
Please help.
Thanks,
Anu

I have written an SSIS package with a Transfer SQLServer Objects task which I want to use to copy database objects from a SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005.
When I run this task, I find the following error:
[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Version80 database compatibility level is not supported
Is there a way around this aside from changing the compatibility level of my SQL Server 2005 database?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello,
I have an SQL 2005 maintenance plan that backups up the t-logs of my production db every 15 minutes. I want to begin log shipping over to a warm-standby secondary server. The network share, log shipping folder is not the same folder location as my maintenance plan folder. My question is, do I need to disable the maintenance plan for tlog backups in order for log shipping to be sucessful? Or will the dual backups to seperate backup folder locations cause a failure in the secondary server restore process?
I suspect the latter but wanted a second opinion.
Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can delete the initial backup file created (xxx_init.bak) on the secondary server after setting up Log Shipping?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to configure log shipping on a 2005 sql server. I follow the wizard's instructions (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190640.aspx) and everything looks right except for the backup job that somehow is not being created on the primary server. Secondary server contains copy, restore and alert jobs.
No errors reported on job monitor.
Any ideas?

Hi!
i have a question regarding tail log backup.
I have set up logshipping between primary and secondary servers. Now when i want to fail-over to secondary, I am planning to take the tail log backup on primary
backup log primarydb
to disk=N'..',
with norecovery
and then I will restore this tail log backup to secondary
restore log secondarydb
from disk=N'',
with recovery
Will there be any issue with this approach?
Will I be able to recovery the primarydb if i want to, in future? Taking tail log backup doesnt cause any issues? Or do i need to take the full backup of primary before I take tail log backup..in case if I can not recover the primary db after taking the log backup?
How big the tail log backup can be? Will it be of similar size of other normal transactional log backups.?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey all-
I am working to establish a backup plan for SQL Server 2000. We are currently doing log shipping between servers.
A full backup once a week
transaction log backup every hour
We run a bulk deletion (delete * from table where date < ninetydays) which deletes 22,000 rows approximately. We are running in Full Recovery mode.
I wonder if there was anyway to improve my backup plan, preferably minimizing logging when the deletion takes place but still backup the data with log shipping.
Let me know if any of you have ideas. Thanks
Nate

We have a critical Production database on which we want to setup Log-Shipping. We have also purchased the Symantec NetBackup utility for taking Backup to Tape Drives.
We Know that there are some inherent problems with using Log-Shipping and a Backup Strategy together, and thus we were finding out various ways in which we can run both in tandem.
One of them was taking the Symantec Log backups with Copy-Only option.
The main problem with this is that the Symantec Backups becomes dependent on the Log-Shipping Backups and also most of their Log-Backups become useless. Also, we are not sure whether the utility allows Copy-Only backups
The second alternative was to disable the Backup job of Log-Shipping on the Primary Server and to use the Log-Backups done by the Symantec utility for performing the Restores on the Secondary.
Thus, if Log-Shipping is scheduled to run say every 4 hrs, and the Symantec Log-backup happens every 1 hour, then at an interval of every 4 hrs, the Restore Job on the secondary will pick up the 4 backups done by the Symantec Backup utility and Restore each one of them in sequential manner.
But, I guess it is not easy to have a manual Restore Policy in place.
I was really banking on this solution until I found that the Restore Job of the Log-Shipping setup is dependent on the Filename of the Transaction log file which the systems generates automatically, and it won€™t be easy to create a customized Restore Job on the secondary server which takes in all the Log Backups generated by the Symantec Backup utility and Restore the Secondary database.
Have any one of you ever face this issue? Would like to know what is the best way to keep both of them running together.

I have a 20 GB SS2005 database that I would like to be replicated to a dev server for testing purposes. I might have some issues with the firewall blocking ports. I haven't read up on the specifics of how log shipping works yet, but I assume that is the best approach. A daily transfer would suffice.
A few options I am considering:
1. use the built in stuff, but I'm not sure it will work with our security settings, and if the trans logs are large it might be strained.
2. writing a small custom app to zip up the log file then ftp them down to the dev server. This could run nightly.
3. some third party util, such as FolderShare could transfer the log files
Any comments or suggestions?

I have setup Log shipping between two SQL 2005 servers, and everything seems to be working well. The files are transferring and restoring correctly.
My question is whether I need to add any backup procedures for the secondary server to prevent the secondary server's log file size from growing continuously. Should I be doing a transaction log backup on the secondary server? Or will that break the Log chain?
If it makes a difference, the secondary server is in Standby mode after applying the logs.
Any advice would be appreciated,
~ Michelle

Suppose I have a 3rd party SQL backup software to backup my databases, can I also setup a stand-by server for log shipping?
I'm not sure if this is possible? If not, is SQL mirroring a choice instead of log shipping?
Thanks a lot!

I have log shipping set up between 2 SQL 2000 SP1 Servers on Win 2000. The db is small 10 meg, and when the restore job on the backup server fails I am getting "sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed." as the message, the maint paln on the primary server show no error. Anyone seen this before? The restore has worked 3 out of 5 times

I'm experiencing a weird problem with log shipping in SQL 2005.
I've setup Log Shipping for a production database between two sites. The standby database is being updated correctly and everything seems to be working as expected but for one detail: the name of the transaction log backups are generated with an UTC timestamp instead of my local timezone.
The the data below extracted from the backup history:
2007-06-23 17:30:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623073000.trn
2007-06-23 17:15:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623071500.trn
2007-06-23 17:00:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623070000.trn
2007-06-23 16:45:00.000 D:BackupDatabasesmydbmydb_20070623064500.trn
My timezone here is GMT+10.
Although it's not affecting Log Shipping, it's very confusing as the full backups have a timestamp in the local timezone!
Has anyone seen experienced something similar to this? Please see below my SQL details:
1 ProductName NULL Microsoft SQL Server
2 ProductVersion 589824 9.00.3042.00

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

Looking at the jobs under SQL Server Agent in Enterprise Manager, I notice that several of my backup jobs failed last night, is there anywhere I can look that will give me a more descriptive error message? I looked at the SQL Server Logs and didn't find anything that gives me any clue.

My backup plan is as follows (SQL2K5)
Weekly full
Daily diff
Hourly log
Hourly log fails daily at particular time with following error -
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
It works , once I kick off a FULL backup.
I feel there is some activity which disqualifies the log sequence. Any thoughts?

Hello All,
I have created a Maintenance plan using Wizard, In this plan I am doing full backup of 12 DBs to share drive, I created only one step as full backup. And Scheduled this at 7 pm everyday, the
following is the error I am getting in the Logfile, can some one please through some light on this.
" failed with the following error: "Cannot open backup device
\shq-ss2sql backupSQL_PRODDBWorkFlow_backup_200708291911.bak. Operating
system error 5(Access is denied.).
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not
established correctly.
SQL Server Instance and SQL Agent are running under domain admin account, Share Drive folder has full control by domain admin.
I am the local admin on the SQL Server box, and I have read, write and delete, create permissions on the share drive for backups folder.
What must be the issue?
Thanks

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

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.

Greetings,I am seeking information related to this subject.BOL suggests backing up the active transaction log immediately after afailure, so that the backup can be used in a recovery scenario if necessary.This is the relevant text from BOL "Transaction Log Backup":----//The transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. contains transaction logrecords from 4:00 P.M. through 8:00 P.M., spanning the time when thedatabase backup was created at 6:00 P.M. The sequence of transaction logbackups is continuous from the initial database backup created at 8:00 A.M.to the last transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. The followingprocedures can be used to restore the database to its state at 10:00 P.M.(point of failure).Restore the database using the last database backup created.1.. Create a backup of the currently active transaction log.---// end of excerptIf the failure results in loss of the instance and/or the log's parent db,how would we back up that log? Even if we could, what confidence would wehave that the backed up log was not corrupted at failure time?Thanks,PSG

I am having a problem with a regular backup of an SQL Server (MSDE2000) database to a local drive. I initiate the backup once a week, byissuing the required T-SQL, via ADO. In this case, the T-SQL is:BACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'Note that "local_backup" is a file sitting on the same physical driveas the database itself, and has > 80 GB free. It is not a RAID device.The database that I am backing up is 1.6 GB. Oddly, the backup ofanother database to the same file was successful; it was ~900 MB.Even more strangely, I also back these databases up to a networkdrive, which has been running successfully for a number of weeks now(longer than the local backup), and continues to work without anytrouble. The resultant backup file is much larger than the one sittingon the local drive (6.8 GB on the network drive vs ~4 GB locally) Thisnetwork drive has less space (~50 GB) and is configured as RAID 0. Itis a Linux box, using Samba to present the drive to the Windowsnetwork.Any ideas?? I am completely stumped. Obviously, Microsoftdocumentation has been particularly unhelpful.The excerpt below is taken from the SQL server error log, covering acouple of attempts.Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!Nick Tompson.2004-07-06 09:56:01.99 spid54 BackupMedium::ReportIoError: writefailure on backup device 'C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak'.Operating system error 112(error not found).2004-07-06 09:56:02.01 spid54 Internal I/O request 0x02672360: Op:Write, pBuffer: 0x02890000, Size: 65536, Position: 4294914560, UMS:Internal: 0x103, InternalHigh: 0x0, Offset: 0xFFFF3200, OffsetHigh:0x0, m_buf: 0x02890000, m_len: 65536, m_actualBytes: 0, m_errcode:112, BackupFile: C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak2004-07-06 09:56:02.01 backup BACKUP failed to complete the commandBACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'2004-07-06 09:56:17.08 spid54 Starting up database'GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive'.2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 spid54 BackupMedium::ReportIoError: writefailure on backup device 'C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak'.Operating system error 112(error not found).2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 spid54 Internal I/O request 0x02674360: Op:Write, pBuffer: 0x028A0000, Size: 65536, Position: 4294914560, UMS:Internal: 0x103, InternalHigh: 0x0, Offset: 0xFFFF3200, OffsetHigh:0x0, m_buf: 0x028A0000, m_len: 65536, m_actualBytes: 0, m_errcode:112, BackupFile: C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 backup BACKUP failed to complete the commandBACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'
