Hello,
have a question about logshipping and full database backup: during a full database backup the log will be backed up too and emptied. If I run a full backup on databases which is setup for logshipping - does it mean I will loose data on the standby side ?
Thanks in advance,
Bernd
Hi
I am new to Forum. So not sure if i am posting my problem under the right topic.
We have a sql server 2005 enterprise edition 4 way cluster on windows 2003 advance server.
I am logshipping these database to a different server at a different location.
My logshipping went fine until one the cluster server failed and the server instance failed over to another node.
The backup that happened around that time got copied over to the secondary by the copy job.
The log file that got copied to the secondary server tried restoring and i think it failed int he middle of restoring it.
(You would think that the sql would knoe if the backup is in complete and will move on to the next file. Not sure what happened there.)
There is no indication of the *.TUF file in the directory where i have the log files.
I tried restoring it manually and i got the following error
Msg 4319, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
A previous restore operation was interrupted and did not complete processing on file 'sessionlog1'. Either restore the backup set that was interrupted or restart the restore sequence.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I looked in the msdb..log_shipping_secondary_databases and looked for the last file that it restored and tried restoring it again with the following restore command by removing and adding some of the keywords that you see after the "WITH" clause.
MSFT do not recommand to use continne_after_error unless its absolutley necessary. I stilll get the above error.
restore log sessiondata
from disk = 'I:sql13qasmlogssessiondatasessiondata_20070901124516.trn'
with restart, CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR, norecovery
When i add the restart int he with clause,
The restart-checkpoint file 'J:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.5MSSQLBackupsessiondata.CKP' was not found. The RESTORE command will continue from the beginning as if RESTART had not been specified.
Msg 4319, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A previous restore operation was interrupted and did not complete processing on file 'sessionlog1'. Either restore the backup set that was interrupted or restart the restore sequence.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
I checked it the backup directory and i can't locate the .CKP file.
Does anyone ever come accross this issue?
Is there anyother way i could recover this DB in a standby or norecovery mode.
Any kind of help to resolve this issue (beside copy the full backup and redo the whole log-shipping process again) would be appreciated. sicne my primary and secondary server are totally ina different location, i need to ship a tape, if i need a full backup. This is the 3rd time its happening on that cluster. its frustrating to ship a tape everytime this happens.
I am trying to set up log shipping in a clustered server environment. I am pretty confused about the location of the shared folder to be created to put backup created by log shipping job. Which drive should I use either local or clustered shared drive to store the backups in primary server and to copy the same in secondary Server?

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

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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

I am trying to do logShipping from one server to another.
I created the logins and restored the DB(user) with the option -
"Leave DB ReadOnly and able to restore logs"
I was surprised to see that the DB got restored but there were no users in that DB.
Since this is a read-only DB I cannot run commands like Sp_change_users_login etc.....and neither can I create a user.
Any thoghts what might have gone wrong?
TIA.
Hi,
I have a question.
We have created a Logshipping (customized).
(We didn't use the logshipping wizard SQL 2000)
On Primary server
The backup strategy is :
Everyday we take a Fullbackup followed by every 15 mins we take transaction log backup.
Day 1:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 2:
Full Backup at 12:00 AM
Transaction log backup from 4:00 AM to 11:45 PM
Day 3:
.
.
.
On Secondary server
Everyday will restore the full backup daily and followed by the transaction log backup restore with no recovery mode.
Day 1:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 2:
Full Backup Restore at 2:00 AM
Transaction log backup Restore from 5:00 AM to 12:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
The problem we have is
A third server which is remote need the full backup for the first time only and everyday they need a log backup alone and not the daily fullbackup to logship the server. Will that be possible
using the logs alone for logshipping but not considering the full backup file.
Third server
Like:
One time Full Backup Restore at 4:00 AM
Day 1:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 2:
Only
Transaction log backup Restore from 9:00 AM to 4:45 AM
Day 3:
.
.
.
Don't the server throws an error saying that
Msg 4305, Sev 16: The log in this backup set begins at LSN 13000001816200001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 13000001723100001 can be restored. [SQLSTATE 42000]
Msg 3013, Sev 16: RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
We don't know how to fullfil the request. I don't think Logshipping wizard skips the full backup file for logshipping if it has been schedule for full backup everyday and logbackup every 15 mins.
Please help. is there anyway we can solve this problem.
Thanks,
Anu

I have setup logshipping between 2 SQL Server 2000 servers. It looks like everything is working (The transaction log files are being created, The log files are being copied to the secondary server. The restore job on the secondary server is running every 15 minutes successfully).
I cannot tell if it is actually applying the transactions.
If it is applying the transactions, it is not updating the monitor.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem?
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
Our servers are all standard edition of SQL Server 2000. We are trying to build Disaster recovery site with standby sql servers.
We have 2 options for this:- one is Replication(Transactional) and the other is Logshipping.
Since we don't have standard edition, Log shipping is not and option. However, we can buy just one sql enterprise edition for this pupose if logshipping requirs only one enterprise edition.
IF I CHOOSE THE LOGSHIPPING OPTION, CAN I IMPLEMENT THE STANDBY SERVER BY ONLY HAVING ONE ENTERPRISE EDITION SQL SERVER (STANDBY SERVER) where as all the pulishers are standard edition sql servers??
IF NOT IF WE CHOOSE TO GO BY TRASACTIONAL REPLICATION, HOW HARD IS TO CREATE THE STANDBY SERVER WHEN WE HAVE MOST OF THE TABLES WITHOUT PRIMARY KEYS PERTICULALY FOR THIS SERVER??
Thanks for your input and I always appreciate all you guys help in this forum.
Thanks

Hey All,
Hope this is the right place for this post.
I set up logshipping between two databases recently. everything looks fine. the backup, copy and restore jobs are all suceeding(from the job log). the problem is no Tlogs are being restored in secondary database. The restore job skips all the tlogs and says it did not find any tlog back up file to restore!! The jobs finishes with this:
007-07-17 14:40:30.59 Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database 'SaaSNet_dataStore'.2007-07-17 14:40:30.59 The restore operation was successful.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 9.0.2153 which manages my BizTalk Server 2006 Databases. The BizTalk server installer automatically creates a job named Backup BizTalk Server (BizTalkMgmtDb) which should back up the databases and transaction protocolls.
The SQL Server Agent runs under domain-administrator account which has full access to my backup directory D:ackups.
The job executes the following steps:
Step 1: BackupFull:
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_BackupAllFull_Schedule] 'd' /* Frequency */, 'BTS' /* Name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
Step 2: MarkAndBackupLog
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_MarkAll] 'BTS' /* Log mark name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
My challenges are:
1. The job doesn't back up my databases(D:Backups is empty after executing the job)
2. I get every time the following error in error protocol of the job:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 4214) BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 3013).
I have already switched the Databases from full to simple recovery mode and vica versa, it didn't help. Also, the above stored procedures doesn't include neither the TRUNCATE nor the LOG parameters for the logfiles so I wasn't able to solve this issue by adjusting these flags.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
I am using sql server 2000 and windows server 2003 standard edition:
My database backup job is failing due to lack of disk space. I am taking the backup onto E drive and the
available free space on E drive is 6.85 GB and there are no other drives I can use for the database backups.
The size of mdf file is 21 GB and that of ldf file is 4.2 GB.
The transaction log back up job of that db ran fine.
This database recovery model is Full and
Auto shrink is not checked.
There is one primary filegroup for the database.
In this situation, I am thinking of the following option:
1. Backup the db and log files onto another network shared drive.
If I want to still use the same server E drive to backup the db and log files instead of using another network shared drives.
how can I do that.
Please let me know the best way of handling this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
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.
Thanks!

In my environment Mirroring is set up and the Principal/Primary and secondary are set up as well. I am having trouble added my mirror as a logshipping primary.
BOL says to create the Mirror/Primary I need to use the Transact-SQL commands. But sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database checks to make sure the status of the database is "Online". So when I run sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database to add the mirror db as a Primary I get the following error:
Msg 32008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database, Line 58
Database TestMirror is not ONLINE. Cannot proceed with log shipping primary processing.
Am I doing something wrong? I am following the BOL page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187016.aspx .
Hi
We are planning to setup log shipping model being setup between two sqlserver 2005 enterprise edition.
Our transaction log backup sizes are not consistent through out the day.The following is the scenario.
T1 at 8.00 -- 315MB
T2 at 8.30 -- 152MB
T3 at 9.00 -- 2.5GB
T4 at 10.00 -- 500MB
The bandwidth available is 25MB/minute. We are taking the backups of Tlogs at 30mins interval.Now at 'T3' log transfer we want to zip the file on the primary server,copy the file over the WAN and unzip it standby server.
Now i wanted to know whether to perform this kind of action(Zip,copy,unzip), can i create a separate job on primary ?? which will put the unzipped file on standby and allow the log shipping job to restore the log file (T3)
Also i wish to carry my T3,T4 etc backup -- copy-- restores through my Log shipping activity.
I cannot take 15mins backup on primary server to reduce the transaction log backup size.Thts another constraint i have.
Also tell me how to zip and unzip thru command line if u hve any link.
Please advice me
thnks for the help in advance

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks
