SQL 2012 :: If Transaction Log Backup Fails Due To Conflict Could It Break Log Chain?
Oct 5, 2015If Transaction Log Backup fails due to a conflict could it break the Log Chain?
View 3 RepliesIf Transaction Log Backup fails due to a conflict could it break the Log Chain?
View 3 RepliesWe are running SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2008. Just wondering what type of actions would break the backup-chain or backup sequence? For instance, if you have tlog backups being taken every 10 minutes and you stop the SQL Server Service for say 30 minutes. Would this action break the backup chain? Or would everything return to normal once the SQL Server Service is restarted?

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,

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.
: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.

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

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?
If I try to backup of database in sql 2012 with t-Sql as follows:
Backup database db1
to disk='c:myfullbkup.bak' with init
go
This code works absolutely fine.
But if I try to take backup through SSMS -Task -Backup in object explorer and gave the same path of c: drive or any other folder outside sql default "Backup" folder.It gives error as access denied.This was not the scene in Sql server 2008.
Looking at the recovery model on MSDN - was under the belief from it that if you set your database to use the simple recovery model, then when you preform a full back up it would truncate the transaction log file but this doesn't seem to be the case?We aren't looking to do a point in time recovery for this particular databse.

I need to be able to identify breaks in a sequence so I can evaluate the data more correctly. In the sample I have given I need to be able to identify the break in sequence at 69397576, ideally I would set that as a D. My query also needs to recognize that the 3 sequences following 69397576 are sequential and would belong to that set. so the out come would look like this.

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.
I have SQL Server 2012, and I'm trying to execute a bcp with a queryout and it is not working with line break, I will send you an example of a simple query my real case is a very long query that contains line breaks but this example behaves the same:
DECLARE @StoredProcedure AS NVARCHAR(4000) ,
@sql AS NVARCHAR(4000)
SET @StoredProcedure = N'"SELECT *
from clarity.[dbo].[ACCESS_DEP]"'
[code]...
Of course that is not the solution as I have a very long query that requires line breaks.
I am practicing on vmware 2 node failover cluster for doing Sql failover clustering understanding.I did proper Ad Dc setup and configured san storage through iscsi software that I downloaded from net.I did target and initiator configuration for san storage on same Domain controller vm.Name of target is Target1 and has two initialtor for node1 and node2.It has two virtual disk assigned Quorumdisk.vhd and sqldisk.vhd.ON vmnode1 I have initialzed and formatted my both disk with proper volume and label.
Node which are participating in cluster are node1 and node2.while my windows clustering went fine,while Sql server installation on node 1,i got error IP Address conflict occured.
my DC has IP address:192.168.1.10
my Node1 is 192.168.1.20
node2:192.168.1.30
Cluster IP address is 192.168.1.35
What has cause this situation.What configuration is needed.How do I troubleshoot this problem as now I can not install my sql for clustering as also gave me Invalid network name error.Is my storage configuration not proper or IP address is in correct?Do I need to put my virtual disk in Clustered shared volume?
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?

We are facing problem in doing page break with column grouping. Our column group contains years e.g 2011, 2013 . We want to show a complete page for a year.
Suppose 2011 has 10 records(horizontal) and 2013 has 12 records(horizontal) in column. The output should be 10 records of 2011 in first page, 12 records of 2013 in second page.
We cannot change the report layout to make column to row and vice versa.
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

what is the differences between a differenctial backup and transaction log backup?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}).

After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?
Using Ola Hallengren's scripts I do a full backup of a database on a Sunday. Then differential backups every 6 hours and log backups every hour. I would like to keep a full week of backups based off the full backup done on Sunday. Is there a way for me to clear out the diff and log folders after the successful full backup on Sunday nights?
