Need Help Troubleshooting Diff BackUp Job

Jan 3, 2008

I have a handful of jobs that I need to troubleshoot, but this one will hopefully give me enough insight to do the rest myself. I need to figure out why a Maintenance Plan that performs a Diff Backup on 4 databases, and then a transaction log back up on the 4 databases is failing. I just get the following error message, and I cannot tell what failed.

Diff. Backup

Oct 24, 2000

Can i restore a diff. backup alone without a complete backup?

(what i am trying is this.....there are two different servers at two diff. places....i need to have both servers in sync. at all times.modifications will take place in one server and the modifications have to be reflected in the other server.i could not go for replication as the servers cannot be connected.sending complete backups daily will be a overhead .hence planning to take complete backup once and send diff. backups alone on subsequent days to the other server.
how can i achieve this?)

Diff Backup Help

Mar 22, 2006

Dear all
I am new to the MS SQL, my problem is as follows.
I am having a online database on sql 2k.
every 15 days we have to give payout from our system, so we
have a offline server in our office, we take the complete backup of that day & restore the same on the offline server,
& start the payout process.
The problem is that the full backup is a big file & take a lot of time for downloading from online server.
is it possible that we take on diff. backup of that day & will restore the same on the offline server so the file will take less time to download.
but my offline backup is 15 days old, will that update all the records or not?


regards
Abhijit

DB Backup From 1 PC &&amp; Restore To Diff. PC

Aug 8, 2007

Friends,

I have taken backup of a database, of which Data (MDF) & Log (LDF) files are located on "E:...." directory.

Now, I am using the same backup file to restore on another PC which is having no partitions at all. I mean now I have to restore the database using same backup file, of which Data & Log files should be located on "C:...." directory only, as it has no partitions.

This restore process gives me error :

Restore failed for Server 'HSVMMICROFIT'.
Details : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:Program FilesMicroFitHealthStar v6.0 Server EditionDataMICROFIT_HealthStar_Data.mdf'.

What is to be done, in order to restore the database from the same back up file successfully, regardless whether the original physical location of the MDF & LDF file, is existing on current PC ??????????????

Please try to solve the same for me.... W8ing...

Problems With Diff Backup And INDEXDEFRAG?

May 14, 2004

SQL Server 2000 sp3 Enterprise (8.00.818) running on W2K Adv Server cluster.

DB's and backups resided on a fibre SAN attached IBM FAStT 500 storage controller.

I had problems with random restore failures, getting errors such as "3270 Internal Consistency Error" on log restores or on full restores after reporting problems with some of the files. This was fixed (we thought) by disabling the read caching on the FAStT 500 storage controller, per Microsoft's recommendation.

We have a custom-written log shipping solution that maintains a 2nd copy of our user DB on the same system, so there's 700+ backups/restores of various types in the course of a week. After two months of error-free operation, we just got another Internal Consistency Error, but this time on a differential restore, which was a first. Looking back, we realized we were running a DBCC INDEXDEFRAG command on the source DB at the time the differential backup was running. Taking a new differential and using it in the restore sequence worked fine, so clearly the problem was in the first diff backup file.

Anybody else noticed any problems with running DBCC INDEXDEFRAG at the same time as a differntial backup?

Copy Latest Diff Backup From One Server To Another

Oct 9, 2014

SQL Server 2012-SP2 and Windows 2008R2

I need to copy the last differential backup file from the production server directory to a data warehouse server directory. There are 3 differential backup files on the directory and I need to grab the latest one. I have the following syntax which work from a batch file but it does not work when I put it into a job step as a cmd even though I remove the double %% to only one %.

echo @off
set path1="192.29.305.213$SqlserverProductionBa ckupsKBR_PROD"
set path2=K:SqlserverDatawarehouseBackupPROD
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%%~a" "%path2%" & goto nextstep
:nextstep
Echo File Copied.

Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),

for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"

It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get

Failure Of Diff Backup Of Master Database

Mar 25, 2008



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?

Troubleshooting

Oct 11, 2001

Hi list,

I'd be grateful for a little advice. Running into some problems and not sure where to start. I've looked through some books and articles and Online Help but need some insight into the issue from a person.

I'm running a SQL2K server with about 30 databases, none of them over 20M in size. These db's are driving websites on servers in the same server room and also accessed remotely using Enterprise Manager. For 95% of the time these databases are performing well. Then connections on webpages start timing out. This is a problem that 'fixes' itself very quickly but I need to identify what's causing the problems. I have sa access to the server and am trying to find a way, via perfomance monitoring or enterprise manager, to work out which database, if any, is responsible for this behaviour. There are no blocks visible in Current Activity on Enterprise Manager, I'm getting average LockRequest/sec of about 2000 bit with peaks up to 31000. Processor time is averaging out at about 10%, not too scary.

I can find lots of information on optimising individual databases and queries within them but no too much on identifying processes or queries that might be hitting a whole server installation in this fashion.

Any advice most welcome.

Troubleshooting Help

Jul 13, 2007

I need help. I have a SSIS package that connects to a ODBC database, it then does ETL from that database into a SQL 2005 database. I run the package using a Sql Agent job each night. However the package fails randomly with no apparent reason. I have setup logging and after viewing the logs I am no closer to solving the problem. Any Ideas how I can track this down? Thanks.

Troubleshooting Needed

Jul 23, 2005

Hi, we just started receiving the following error messages about 3weeks ago. We don't get them all the time, or even on the same pagesnecessarily, but we get them from time to time and our sql serverconnection is slower in the last three weeks also. Our database isremotely hosted, and the programmers are also offsite, so we are tryingto deal with this issue with our database server host, with noknowledge of sql server. They say nothing has changed on the server,but we haven't changed any of our front end files either, so we don'tknow what the problem is. Here's 3 of the most common errors:1. Microsoft Cursor Engine error '80004005'Data provider or other service returned an E_FAIL status..../subview.asp, line 1322.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'Unknown token received from SQL Server.../members.asp, line 182We have *no idea* what the above error messages refer to, or whetherthis is something wrong with the server or the ASP pages mentioned. Anyhelp anyone could provide so we can understand the types of messages weare getting would be nice.Regards,Sage

Replication Troubleshooting

Mar 16, 2006

We have some transactional replication jobs from oracle to mssql2005. I found an error in the replication monitor as below,

============================================

Incorrect syntax near 'index'. If this is intended as a part of a table hint, A WITH keyword and parenthesis are now required. See SQL Server Books Online for proper syntax. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 1018)
Get help: http://help/1018

Command attempted:
if @@trancount > 0 rollback tran
(Transaction sequence number: 0x00000000000000000D4300000000, Command ID: 26290)
============================================

I found the corresponding table from the command id. Since some of the tables in our env. are created with triggers which cause the replication error occasionally! How can I trace the information of the transaction/record which made the replication pending? Also, there may be 'invalid' input in oracle and replicate to mssql2005 which cause error in trigger and made the replication panding. Any way to solve this kind of problem? Thanks in advance

Troubleshooting A New Application Role

Mar 1, 2001

Hi all,

This one is a real X FIle, just without Mulder, Scully or the Lone Gunmen!

I have a database, to which access must be restricted via a sole application. So, I have to use an application role. I go in the database and run these statements to add and activate the roles, respectively;

Exec sp_addapprole 'Sirius', 'password'

(The system confirms the role is created.)

Exec sp_setapprole 'Sirius', 'password' 'odbc'

(The system confirms the role is activated.)

Right, now I should not be able to connect using anything but this role, agreed? But here's where things go wrong. I can then successfully connect from another computer by using MS query from Excel, from a login that is not even a member of the Public Role!

I tried again, started and stopped the Server/DTS/Agent services and dropped the old role after each successful login before recreating it. I've checked my syntax exhaustively. I must be doing something wrong, or overlooking something, otherwise MS has a major security problem! (Just hope the Cancer Man doesn't find out!!)

Thanks in advance everyone,


Jaishel.

Replication Troubleshooting Tips

Jan 6, 1999

Hi all:

I'm new to replication but I have already set up replication and have seen it
working and failing and have gotten myself out of jams so far but there must
be an easy way to administer it when things don't replicate as expected. I'm
finding that I could easily kill half a day just trying to dig up
information leading to troubleshooting tips. Is there documentation just on
managing this feature. The regular MS Administrator's guide doesn't offer much.


Currently I have a problem that if replication fails on one command I get a
SQL Mail telling me of the problem but does replication continue to the next
command or does it just stop until the problem is fixed? I'm finding that I am
constantly checking the publisher and subscriber databases and verifying if
replication is indeed doing what the msjob_commands table reports. I set the
batch to commit after each transaction instead of every 100.

Help...

Query Performance Troubleshooting Help

Apr 16, 2008

Hi all. I'm new to this forum and looking for some assistance.

I've run into a unique (for me) performance problem.

I have a select statement that performs fine ( < 1 second ) using one set of values in the criteria but very poorly ( > 3 minutes )using different values. In both circumstances the query returns zero rows. The query involves a parent-child join with the criteria spread across both tables.

The execution plan looks similar between the two; the difference being a few percentage points difference on some of the operations. The tuning advisor has no recommendation in case 1 but suggests a couple of additional indexes and 4 statistics in case 2.

My gut tells me that the solution is *not* applying the additional indexes/statistics but some other issue. Or it could be the sushi I just ate.

Anyway, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as what to analyze to determine why simply changing a single supplied criteria value would have such a dramatic effect on performance.

I don't know if the title for the subject is appropriate here, anywayhere goes:This process was set up by someone and I have inherited it. I have asql2000 database that has about 13 tables that get populated with datafrom 3 different databases. I have identified where each of this datacomes from, and the stored procedures that do the updates, inserts, anddeletes, and the jobs that run these stored procedure to do theupdates, except for one table. The updates for all the other tablesare done through scheduled jobs. For the one table I know where thedata comes from and the stored procedure that needs to run to do theupdate on the table, however I have not been able to identify theprocess that runs the stored procedure.I am hoping that someone can give me a clue as to how to find out wherea stored procedure is being used - or any other hint as to how I couldgo about finding out how this table gets updated.ThanksKR
