Master Transaction Log Backup Fails
Nov 9, 2004
:eek:
Okay. I changed the times that the transaction logs are backed up, via the built in maintenance schedule. It was then that I started to get failures only on the Transaction log backup for the master. The error that I get from the history log is Backup can not be performed on this database. This sub task is ignored. If I look in the file that is saved to disk :
Starting maintenance plan 'DB Maintenance Plan1' on 09/11/2004 02:30:00
Backup can not be performed on database 'master'. This sub task is ignored.
[1] Database onyx: Transaction Log Backup...
Destination: [R:BACKUPonyxonyx_tlog_200411090230.TRN]
** Execution Time: 0 hrs, 0 mins, 23 secs **
[2] Database onyx: Verifying Backup...
** Execution Time: 0 hrs, 0 mins, 8 secs **
Deleting old text reports... 1 file(s) deleted.
End of maintenance plan 'DB Maintenance Plan1' on 09/11/2004 02:30:31
SQLMAINT.EXE Process Exit Code: 1 (Failed)
I changed the backup back to its original time as this was the only change made. This has not resolved the problem. As I am new to SQL and still finding my feet All the other SQL maintenance plans that I changed are working fine.
Thanks

My transaction log backup is failing with the following error:
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Our Transaction Log backup job runs every two hours from 7:00am to 8:59pm. Today, our Full backup job and the first Transaction Lob backup job ran successfully. Subsequent Transaction Log Backups have failed with the following error message under Job History:
"The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 13 (Schedule 1). The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1)."
The caveats are that the database is in Full recovery mode and a .TRN file is generated on the server. Also, the SQL Server log says the job ran successfully. Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm a clueless SQL noob trying to set a maintenance plan to backup my databases.
This is SQL 2005 running on Windows SBS 2003 R2.
I've created two maintenance plans one to do a full backup of all DBs and one to do transaction log backups every 4 hours of the databases.
The full backups run but the transaction log backup fails with
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0). in the logs.
I can run the backup manually from the SQL Studio but not automatically.
Any clues on what can cause this not to work?
Thanks,
nline

I have setup a SQL maintenance plan to backup the transaction log file to be backup every one hour M-F.
But now I have been getting the following error:
sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
Any clues what does this error mean ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm running SQL 2005 SP2 and having a problem with a Database Maintenance task created in SSMS doing transaction log backups of all user databases.
When I look at dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail I see the message:
Database 'Database1' will not be backed up because it does not have its recovery model set to Full or BulkLogged.
Great - that's what we want! Skip the SIMPLE recovery mode databases. However, the next entry is the following error message:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Database1] TO DISK = N'D:\MSSQL$Windows\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup\Database1\Database1_backup_200707231600.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'Database1_backup_20070723160023', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. 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.
Which says to me it is trying to backup the same database(s) it just said it was skipping!
What's going on? I see that there is a fix to a similar error message with the cumulative update KB936305 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305) for maintenance cleanup tasks.
Does anybody else have such a problem?

Ok I had a server crash the master was bad or corrupted. I tried to rebuild the master but that failed. I had to reinstall sql and then attach the databases.
I need to know why the master all of a sudden just stopped working. Any ideas where to look or what would cause this?
Thanks.

To restore the Master DB, BOL says to start SQL Server in single user mode.
I do this using: sqlserver.exe -m
The server appears to startup (Recovery complete message, etc.).
Then I take care to minimize the command window. The command
window now appears on my task bar.
I start EM and navigate my way to the Restore Database menu pick.
I fill out the appropriate boxes, etc. I get a window telling me that
the restore has been started.
Very shortly I get a popup window telling me the connection has been
lost. When I examine my taskbar, I no longer see the Icon for the
command line/window. Thus it appears to me that the server
running in single user mode has gone away and this explains
the reason for the window saying that the connection has been
lost.
I then start SQL Server, per normal.
I run DBCC CHECKDB. This tells me there are 0 allocation errors
and 0 consistency errors. Several thousand rows of data present.
Thus the master DB appears to be OK.
However I am unable to restore it.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
I am using the Simple recovery model and I'm taking a weekly full backup each Monday morning with differentials taken every 4 hours during the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, a programmer ran a process that corrupted the db and I had to restore to the most recent differential. It was 5pm in the afternoon and a differential backup had just occured at 4pm. No problem, I figured.
I restored the full backup from Monday morning and tried to restore the most recent differential backup. The differential restore failed. Since I had used T-SQL for the initial attempt, I tried using Enterprise Manager to try again.
When viewing the backup history, I see my initial full backup taken on Monday plus all the differentials. BUT, on closer inspection, I noticed another full backup in the backup history that was taken early Tuesday morning. I can't figure out where this Tuesday morning full backup came from. It wasn't taken by me (or scheduled by me) and I'm the only one with access to the server. My full backups are usually named something like HCMPRP_20070718_FULL.bak. This erroneous full backup was named something like HCMPRP_03a_361adk2k_dd53.bak. It seemed like it was a system generated name. Not something I would choose. To top it off, I could not find this backup file anywhere on the server and when I tried to restore using this full backup, it failed.
Does anyone have any clues as to where this full backup might come from? Does SQL Server trigger a full backup on its own if some threshold is reached?
I ended up having to restore using the differential taken just before this erroneous full backup and lost a day of transactions.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Master Database in SQL Server 7 has a transaction log. Using Enterprise Manager the option to back up the transaction log is greyed out. Is this because there is no need to back it up.
I don't know if there is any value, or whether it is possible to do so.
I have a number of books, none of which cover this specific question.
Can anyone help.

Hello,
I have a fresh install of sqlExpress and Management Studio Express on my test server. I want to restore my master database from backup.
From the command prompt I set the Sqlservr -s SQLEXPRESS -m
Then I opened another comand prompt and ran my SQLCMD script to restore the Master Database.
here is the sql script:
RESTORE DATABASE [Master] FROM DISK = N'E:COPLEYNEWSDATABASEBACKUPMaster.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'mastlog' TO N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAMaster_1.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
I recieve the following error.
Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Master' dat
abase.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
How do I restore a Master Database on SQL Express?

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?

Hi All,
In my DataFlow i have OleDBDataSource and OleDB Command. Using these i am inserting data to master and child tables.
In OleDBDataSource , i am inserting into master table and returning the ID of newly inserted rows. Next in the OleDB Command, i am inserting to child table using the ID returned from OleDBDataSource.
It is working fine. Now i want to put this in the Transaction so that if it fails to insert into child table, the changes made to the master table should be rolled back. I tried by giving Transaction Supported for dataflow. But does not looks like it works for me. Please suggest me the best approach for this.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to categorize a table by "type"; for example "Master file" or "Transaction file"?
If yes, then:

Hello, everyone:
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.
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!

Environment: 2 different SQL 2000 servers both with service Pack 1 installed. OS is NT5/Windows 2000 server. Dell 4300 dual processor Servers.
Problem: When I create a maintenance plan to backup the system databases only the model will be backed up. (The model & the msdb are skipped). This occurs whether I select the 'System Databases Only' option, or whether I explicitly select each individual database (from the first page of the Create New Maint Plan Wizard). I can back up the master and msdb manually. But, I cannot get it done through creating a maintenance plan. I find nothing in the SQL Errorlog to explain why this is failing.
Do you have a solution? Even any suggestions? Most appreciated!

Currently, I have set up maintenance plan to backup all the databases and I am only the most recent copies. This works very good for me on most of the databases. However, I am having a potential problem with backing up master database.
Based on what I know, I cannot perform a restore on master database. So I am wondering if anyone is able to advise me on a good method to backup the master database and restore it when it needs to be.
Thank you.

We run a script to check the blocking issues every morning. We find a LogBack up job for master db running everyday. But the Backup team doesn't see it on their systems. The backup team says, they are not running any backup job . But this backup job shows up in the process Info. So, we manually kill it everyday. It takes a lot of wait time. We can't find where it comes from ?
Below is the info from the Process Info Page

Hi,
On a large production SQL servers how often should the Master and MSDB Backups be performed?
We currently do one every night but I am thinking this is overkill, would once a week be sufficient?
Cheers

I am trying to replicate our production SQL 6.5 environment on an isolated network for Y2K testing. I have installed SQL 6.5 on the test server, then ran sp_help_revdatabase on the production server to generate scripts for recreating the databases for testing. I used a zip drive to move dumps of the user databases from production to test. I now need to move over data from the master db, to recreate security and logins. But I don't think I can simply do a dump and restore, as I am not creating copies of all the production databases from our production server, just a few of them. Does anyone have a suggestion for a procedure to replicate the info I need from our production master database? Am I correct that restoring a dump of our production master database to the Y2K environment would be inappropriate?
Please advise.
Thanks,

Version: 10.00.1600 (I believe the first 2008 release)
I made a backup from the master, model and msdb system tables. Now I travelled to a different country, and I only have the backups and would like to access them. I was able to restore the master db to a new installation of mssql but, it wont start. I do know why: as I read after I quickly realised that master backups take the accounts, serverID, groups, directory structure, and lots of other things.Basically I have no chance of doing a master restore. The question here: Is there any way of getting my data out from the master backup file (thats where my stuff is)? I'm thinking of "restoring" it to a separate non-master db, table, anything. I know now that I did the most stupidest thing ever, but believe me I don't want the last half years work to just disappear.

Hello,
My master database (MS SQL 2005) has simple recovery model, however, when performing diff backup of "all databases", I am getting the following error:
Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [master] TO DISK = N'X:\Database Backups\diff backups\master\master_backup_200803251235.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'master_backup_20080325123514', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database.
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.
If I choose to back up only "All user databases", then it performs just fine. Why I cannot run diff backup of master?
