SQL 2012 :: Missing Other Backup Files Backup
Nov 3, 2014I scheduled automatic backup process but its only showing backup of the only one .sql file in the backup folder. Other created .sql files are not backed up. Why is it so?

SQL 2012 :: SSAS Backup Failure - Possible Cause For That Is Missing
Feb 25, 2013Recently migrated from 2008 to 2012. Everything is working fine; however went to take my first set of backups today and one of them blew up:
Executing the query ...
Backup and restore errors: Unexpected number of disk files associated with database object. Possible cause for that is missing or corrupt cryptokey.bin or detach.log file.
Execution complete
Not finding much online on the specific error.
- Data source is valid
- Can process the cube
- Can query / navigate cube
Next step would be drop/recreate; however this is an older cube that I'd prefer to leave alone at this stage if possible.
SQL 2012 :: FOR FILES Command To Delete Old Backup Files On Remote Server?
Feb 24, 2015I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
SQL 2012 :: Zero Out Backup Files?
Jan 28, 2015Looking at the documentation, it would suggest that as well as data files, when a backup file's created it will also be zeroed out unless the service a/c's been given Perform Volume Maintenance.
We take our backups to dedicated backup servers, meaning backup performance should improve significantly if instant file initialization's given to the Service account logins for the source boxes if I'm right.
SQL 2012 :: Copy Backup Files From One Server To Another?
Sep 23, 2014I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).

Is There A MS SQL Backup Tool That Will Zip Or Compress The Backup Files?
Feb 27, 2007Currently we use a SQL maintenance plan to do a full backup of all our databases daily (about 40 databases on our production server). As you can imagine, this eats up disk space quickly so currently we manually zip the backup files and/or move them to an archive drive. I considered writing an application to walk through the backup folder structure and zip any .bak file it finds, but I know there are some third party tools out there that will backup/restore a MS SQL database.
I was wondering if any of these also zip the backups once they are created. Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome.
SQL 2012 :: Error (backup Failed To Complete The Command BACKUP LOG) In Event Viewer
Aug 23, 2013On 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'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
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?

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
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
Jane

Jan 17, 2008
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?

Data Missing In The Full Backup
Nov 18, 2006i have a 2005 db with full recovery mode. daily full backups, diff backups and log backups are done through sqlagent. i wanted to make a copy of it on another instance using the restore method with the latest full backup. after i created the new db, i noticed that a few tables were missing and columns were missing from existing tables also. futhermore, the recrods in these tables were not up-to-date either. i did fresh a full backup and tried again and the problem persisted. i aslo tried to restore on the same sql server instance under a different db name and that reproduced the problem.
the database schema was changed a few weeks ago and it seems that i am only seeing a snapshot of the database before the schema change. dbcc checkdb returns no error. the size of the backup file looks reasonable and i seen an increase in size since the schema change which is expected. there is no active transactions in the db and if i generate a create script, it contains proper t-sql that matches the current schema.
what am i missing there? what could i be doing wrong? i am lost here and any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Backup Files
Apr 19, 2006hello! can you take a look at my question?
We use ARCServe to backup exchange server file (priv1.stm and priv1.edb) every night. When I select both of the files and start to back up using ARCServe. It showed me that Backup Operation Successful.
When I check the files, it didn’t backup both of the files. I don’t know why. Do you know how to backup these two files?
Many thanks.

Backup Database Using Files
Aug 10, 2004I am but a lowly DBA unworthy of this task...
I have a large (200+ GB) database with many (100+) files. Please don't ask me why I did it this way; I inherited this database -- really, it wasn't my idea.
My predecessor also seemd to think that backups were unnecessary; there have been no backups of this database -- ever.
While we cast about for a good long term solution, I am trying various short-term options. One I want to explore is to back the database up in chunks -- ie, by backing up individual files. I created a test database with five files (there is only one filegroup on the production server). Here is the DDL:
-- =============================================
-- Create database on mulitple file groups
-- =============================================
IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM master..sysdatabases
WHERE name = N'MultiFile')
DROP DATABASE MultiFile
GO
CREATE DATABASE MultiFile
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = MultiFile,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile.mdf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile2,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile2.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile3,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile3.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile4,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile4.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile5,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile5.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)
LOG ON
( NAME = MultiFile_Log,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile_Log.ldf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
I have tried the following backup script:
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile',
FILE = 'MultiFile2'
TO Backup01
WITH
INIT
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile3',
FILE = 'MultiFile4'
TO Backup02
WITH
INIT
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile5'
TO Backup03
WITH
INIT
And here is the restore script:
RESTORE DATABASE MultiFile2
FILE = 'MultiFile',
FILE = 'MultiFile2',
FILE = 'MultiFile3',
FILE = 'MultiFile4',
FILE = 'MultiFile5'
FROM Backup01, Backup02, Backup03
WITH MOVE 'MultiFile' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultfile.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile2.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile3.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile4.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile5.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile_log' TO 'E:MSSQLaMultFile_Log.ldf'
However, running the Restore script generates the following error:
Server: Msg 3259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The volume on device 'Backup02' is not part of a multiple family media set. BACKUP WITH FORMAT can be used to form a new media set.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I'm not sure what to make of this. What do I need to alter in either the backup script or the restore script to make this work?
I am trying this because my objectives are to:
1. Limit the amount of work that the server is performing during any one given backup session. The idea that I have is to backup the database in chunks using a rolling 3-5 day window.
2. The database must be up and operational 7x24x365 (except for one 4 hour window each month)
3. This is not the long-term solution; but I need something to tide us over until we can purchase additional storage capacity.
I appreciate any thoughts and or guidance you can provide.

hmscott
Backup Files Not Released
Oct 1, 2004hi
I have had trouble with maintenance plans not deleting expired backups, & this filling the hadrdisk. i have now done an agent job using tsql backup with init/skip, so it just overwrites. problem now is that it fails saying the backup device isnt available (cant delet the file from OS either) - so this was obviously the prob with the maintence plans too - sql/os doesnt seem to be releasing the file after it is completed and a server restart is needed to release it...
anyone know how to sort this?

Differential Backup Files
Feb 4, 2004When a new scheduled job is created for a Differential backup, the file specified in the Destination folder is automatically created by SQL Server. After the first time the job runs, is there a way to configure SQL Server to give each Differential file a unique name, including the timestamp (i.e. similar to Full Backup jobs)? I noticed my only options are 'Append to File" and "Overwrite Existing File." If I choose to enable "Backup Set Expiration," the backup job will not run, because it wants to append/overwrite the filename specified.
