Third Party Backup Programs
Feb 27, 2002Currently we are using SQL Servers Backup utility to backup our databases to disk and then the files to backup tape during a nightly backup.
The time it takes for the backups to disk to complete for the databases is becoming prohibitively long and performance problems on the DB server are manifesting.
I am interested in other solutions. However, the propaganda listed at the various companies sites are less than insightful.
I was wondering if anyone used a third party Agent like Brightstor Enterprise SQL Server backup agent, or Veritas NetBackup for SQL Server, that would be willing to give some recommendations. If you use something that isn't listed here and it works well, I would be interested in hearing about it.
Do these backup agents significantly slow down the database performance? Do they create any locking issues? Some insight into your backup hardware configuration would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance for your help.

Invoking Database Using C Programs
Apr 16, 2008we have an existing .c file and we have to include sql statements in it...

Howto Use COM Objects In CLR. NET Programs
Aug 11, 2006hi,
i have a vb.net progi which i want to run under sql server 2005 as CLR.
the prob is that when i want to create the assembly in sql 2005 it says
that the create of the Interop.FC_COM.dll (this is the COM interop object) failed.
when i try to create the Interop.FC_COM.dll as an assembly in sql 2005 it fails because this dll is not follwing the structure of a CLR dll.

VB6 Programs Using ADO Do Not Run In Windows Vista
Apr 13, 2007Hi,
my VB6 programs that use ADO to access SQL or Access databases do not work in Windows Vista. While they run smoothly in all older Windows versions, they fail in Windows Vista environments. Especially, the ADO connection does not work anymore. The same connection strings that work perfectly in all older Windows versions, do not work in Windows Vista. The error message sent by ADO is this: Runtime error -2147217887 - "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors". And, not only I get this error message on my development systems, but all other users of my programs on all Windows Vista systems.
I have been playing around with alternative connections strings, but no alternative works.
Can anybody explain this? And is there a remedy?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Nov 21, 2007
Hi
I am planning to start working with Service Broker.
I got two applications from different providers. They use the same data; I mean both of them have a table €œOrders€?. They also provide a table called €œorder interface€?. This interface reflects the changes made in the table €œOrders€?.
I need to synchronise both applications. For this propose I would like to use the Service Broker and stored procedures as Service programs. Is it fine, if I start the stored procedure (Service programs) from a trigger in the tables (order interface)?
Any User Access Audit Programs Available?
Jul 9, 2007Hello all, does anyone know of a SS2005RS user audit program that an administrator can run on a RS server to show which userids have access to folders? I have in mind a pgm that would show:
folder users
Home user01, user02, user03
folderA user01,user02, user05
folderB user02, user06
Is there a pgm available as a download, or does someone have a home-grown pgm whose source they would let out?
Has anyone else faced this need?
Thanks in advance
Launching Visual Studio Express Under All Programs
Oct 24, 2007I apologize up front since this question seems so basic but I'm really running into difficulty with it. Should there be a Visual Studio Express program to launch under Start - All Programs or do you simply have to select one of the pieces such as Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition? I have seen documentation telling the user to launch Visual Studio Express yet I have nothing for that. Also, since I'm trying to become familiar with Reporting Services I suspect it's somewhere I haven't located yet, leading me to believe perhaps I'm missing something very, very basic. Thank you in advance.

SQL Server Express SP2 Advanced Services Shows Up Incorrectly In Installed Programs

Unistall Unsuccessful And Can Not See Microsoft SQL Server 2005 In Installed Programs List
Jul 7, 2006I went through the install of the MS SQL Server 2005 Std Edt only to find that I can not open up the "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" since I was missing the exe to run it that should have been located at "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe". Due to this happening it seemed to me that some of the install failed, so I went about trying to uninstall the SQL Server setup. Within the "Add or Remove Programs" tool I selected the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" from the list and clicked on the button that said "Remove". This did not seem to do anything except for remove the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" selection from that tool selection list. It went way to quick and did not display any dialogs as it removed the engine. Also I can still opent the Management Studio and see all the normal stuff and I can query the data within the databases. The two part question is...
1) How do I get the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 program relisted in the "Add or Remove Programs" tool's selection list?
2) How do I get the "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" installed correctly?
The only warning message I received during the install was in regards to the hardware not being quite up to par with amount of RAM. I saw no errors within the install tool.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!! Please let me know if anything else is needed to answer this question.

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
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?
SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Running Long And Backup Threads Show Suspended
Feb 18, 2015SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.
Backup Failed (Error 3041) While Try To Issue A BACKUP Statement In Local

I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error

Thanks in advance

SQL 2012 :: Backup Cleanup Of Differential And Log Backups Based On Full Backup?
Feb 19, 2015Using 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?

Can Windows 2003 Server Backup Utility Be Used To Backup A SQL 2000 Dbase
Dec 28, 2007Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We 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?

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup
Nov 16, 2015I 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...

May 10, 2001This is probably a simple question but I have to ask it anyway. When backing up I can backup to a file on my local drive but I also can create a device to the same location on my local drive. Is this doing the same thing. If I so desire to backup to the local drive(bear with me) what is the difference between creating a device and a file called mybackup or just choosing to backup to a file called mybackup? Should I always create a device? I know these are dumb question but....
