SQL Server 2000 Backup Fails
Nov 1, 2007
Hi all,
I am using SQL Server 2000 for one of our web application system called eRoom. eRoom uses SQL Server 2000 as a database. Now I have used SQL Server 2000 Database backup features to run the 4 database backup every night at 10pm. The backup runs fine. But recently I have found that for some reason when Our server machine which is hosting eRoom and SQL Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition) is restarted, the database backup does not run anymore.
Now I have checked SQL Server settings and the settings allow SQL Server and SQL Server agent to restart both the services when the operating system starts. But still the database backup does not run when the server machine is restarted. It happened twice last week. Can anyone please help me?
Here are some information to help you understand the problem.
Backup Process Followed:
I went to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, then went to the appropriate server and then right click the Database>All Tasks> Backup Database> and then selected the backup file which is a (.BAK) file and then scheduled the database to be backed up at 10:00pm every night. I followed the same procedure for all 4 databases.
I am running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition R2
Thanks

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with SQL Server 2000 Maintenance Plan.
DB Backup job fails to delete old backup files from the file server (I am backing up to the network share - actually, a DFS).
Backup part of the maintenance plan/job succeeds, but then cleanup part fails.
I made sure that service account under which SQL Server Agent is running, has sufficient privileges over the network share by logging in and successfully deleting files in question.
I was not able to locate any log entries either on the SQL Server machine or on the file server machine that would indicate the root of the problem. Even though I turned on auditing for Delete operations for the destination folder, its subfolders and files, I could not find anything in the Security event log.
I would appreciate any ideas on how to troubleshoot and correct this problem.
Thanks in advance,

Windows 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.

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.

Hi, This may be a trivial question but neither SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services SP1 or SP2 wil install against our SQL Server 2005 Developer edition installation.
Our Version: Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Version 9.00.3027.00
Does anyone know whether the Services Packs are for SQL Server 2000 only? if so, whether the new functionality in SP2 will be made available to SQL Server 2005?
Many Thanks,

The DTS works perfectly when I run it manually. However, when I run itas a job it fails. Before you ask if i'm running it under differentsecurity context. I have already made sure of that. I was logged intothe server through remote viewer, when I created and ran the package,as well as scheduling the job. So the accounts they're running underare consistent. They're the same accounts as the SQL Agent is runningunder and it's the sys admin account.The data source is a Fox pro database with a pull of two tables. I amusing Microsoft OLE DB Foxpro driver as my source connection and OLE DBConnection for SQL Server as my destination. I am doing a simple tableto table transformation. The path of my connection is a mapped Drive:E:Main. There are other packages and jobs within my job queue that arepointing to the same database and they seem to run fine using the abovemapped drive. The ONLY difference between this package and otherpackages are that, they're few months old and this one was created lastnight. I have also enabled logging on this package and here is thebelow error when the job fails:Package Steps execution information:Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxProStep Error Description:Invalid path or file name.Step Error code: 80040E21Step Error Help File:Step Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMStep Execution Completed: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.031 secondsProgress count in Step: 0

Hi,
We have replication setup on a sql server 2000. We encountered issue that the distribution agent goes down (distrib.exe stop running) in the event of network connection broken. We would like to know:
is this the expected result that the distribution agent will go down in the event of communication failure between the distribution server and subscriber server?
if not, is there a way to programmatically control and restart the agent?
Is there any sp in SQL server which can monitor the replication communication error message?
is there any sp in SQL server which can be run to restart the agent?
For the best practice, what do you think we can do to achieve an €˜event-driven€™ kind of mechanism so when an communication breaks, the agent can be restarted by the triggered event (or at least a simple way to automatically restart)?
Thanks
Bill

Dear all,
we have tables with many image columns. We fill these image columns via ODBC and SQLPutData as described in MSDN etc (using SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(...), calling SQLParamData and sending the data in chunks of 4096 bytes when receiving SQL_NEED_DATA).
The SQLPutData call fails under the following conditions with sqlstate 08S01
- The database resides on SQL Server 2000
- The driver is SQL Native Client
- The table consists e.g. of one Identity column (key column) and nine image columns
- The data to be inserted are nine blocks of data with the following byte size:
1: 6781262
2: 119454
3: 269
4: 7611
5: 120054
6: 269
7: 8172
8: 120054
9: 269
The content of the data does not matter, (it happens also if only zero bytes are written), nor does the data origin (file or memory).
All data blocks including no 7 are inserted. If the first chunk of data block 8 should be written with SQLPutData the function fails and the connection is broken. There are errors such as "broken pipe" or "I/O error" depending on the used network protocol.
If data no 7 consists of 8173 bytes instead of 8172 all works again.
(Changing the 4096 chunk size length does not help)
Has anybody encountered this or a similar phenomenon?
Thank you

Hi!!!
I don't know much about SQL Server....
In our office, about 30 clients are connected with SQL server. There are 4 to 5 database each of more than 2 gb.
There are two files of extension LDF and MDF of each database.

* Which method / software is best for taking backup?
* Is it possible to take backup while files are used by clients????
* Is it possible to split database in smaller size. because each time I have backup to entire more than 2 gb file....

Hi Gurus,
I am new to SQL server and I need your advise on the following .
1. We have two SQL 7.0 Databases at a distant location and we want to move those databases to our location.
2. we plan to take the SQL backup of the databases in tape ( 4Gb and 2 Gb in size) , bring them here, restore them to SQL 2000 server.
- Is this possible , DO SQL 7.0 backups are restored on SQL 2000 without any problems ?.
Also, we plan to take log backups of the DBs at the source after the initial full backups and apply them at the target SQL 2K databases till we cut over to the Target Databases.
Ehat would be the best method of doing this? All your suggestions , pointers to real life scenarios like this, solutions are welcome.
Please let me know if you need any more informations , before suggesting any solution.
Thanks in advance
-Jay

Hi I'm an experienced programmer, but just don't have much experience with ASP or MSSQL. I inherited a website and now need to set up an automated backup system for a fairly large (40MB) MSSQL database hosted by a 3rd party provider of reasonable quality with ASP and SQL Server 2000. Let's avoid ASP.NET solutions since the website I inherited is written in "straight up" ASP (old school).
I have access to the database, login etc. I'm thinking I should combine an ASP script with the database connectivity and write daily/weekly backups to a dir on the hosting server.
Where do I begin? Tools? Examples?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards
Ola Hallengren

Hi All
I am using Sql Server 2000.
The database is being used since 5 years and the transaction file (mdf) has increased upto 12Gb.
We are thinking of reducing the size of the database and keeping only the data of the past 1 year. So I would like to know if there is some way of backup or export so that I can get latest 1 year data.
Thanking You All:S :S :S

2)Also I have another script which for some reason doesn't run on some nights. Its enabled and the job is scheduled daily but its not running for about a week.
SQL server agent is running though.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
