I got SQL agent backup failed problem which took me 2 days , but still couldn't figure out, so tired. Help please!!!
2 days ago,the database was using my domain account to logon both SQL server and SQL agent, the backup jobs worked good. Since I changed db to another domain account which has same permission as mine at both SQL server box and database, but almost all jobs got failed except "check integrity", and the error is "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User rose. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).". I checked the log files and backup report, could't get any clues, and I switch domain account back to mines, it works good . But my boss required me using another domain account , what should I do? HELP!!!
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'}). 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?
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:
Backup failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the satement after the current backup or file manipulation is completed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
Hi,I have a SQL Agent job that executes SP on local server. "execstored_procedure_name". Stored procedure uses linked server and whenexecuted through Query Analyzer passes OK (login sa). Job owner is also sa.Every time I start job failure appears (job failed) without any furtherdata in Application Event.Any help appreciated.Thanks in advanceMladen
I have various ssis packages which need to schadule through SQL server agent, I manage to schadule those packages but every time SQL server agent execute those packages automaticlly they failed ... I went to package log and it gives error that Step one failed, on the other hand if i execute those packages through "Execute Package Utility", they run without any error ...
I created a SSIS package using VS2005 with the "ProtectionLevel" set to "DontSaveSensitive" . I executed the package and it completed without an error. I then built the package and deployed it to the SSIS inside the folder "MSDB". I run the pakage in SSIS and it worked perfectly. Then I created a job in SQL Server Agent and have it run in a per-set schedule. It failed to run withthe following error:
Message Executed as user: SRVSOUDB01SYSTEM. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 9.00.3042.00 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved.

The error mentioned the step in SSIS Package that requires to copy the backup of the OLAP database file "AS_STDM.abf" from the Source Server location (local processing server SRVSPOYDB01) to the Targer Server location (remote production server SVMPPODB01) "Svmppodb01OLAP DataSql DataBackUpAS_STDM.abf". This step worked in the SSIS(SRVSOUDB01) when executing there. Why it is not working in Sql Server Agent(SRVSOUDB01). It also works in VS 2005.
when I try to run a package as Job I receive the following error
Executed as user: SITAsqlserveragent_svc. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Has someone an idea how I can get more detailed information about WHY the job failed? Tha package was created in BIDS and imported into MSDB. Running the package from the Integration Services context menu works, but starting it as a job from SQL Server Agent fails. Any idea or hint what the reason could be or how I can get more information?
When running the snapshot agent for a new publication I get the message:

The database has another publication, that was created prior to upgrade to sql server 2005 from sql server 2000 sp4. This publication is working ok, and there are no problems when running the snapshot agent for this publication.
The publications are using filtered articles, and all properties for the publications are the same.
Any help to solve this problem will be much apreciated.
We've got a problem with our replication. If I try to run the snapshot agent I get the message "Query for data failed". The detail view of this message shows the following:
Hello, I've configured SQL Server 2000 for merge replication and am trying to start the snapshot agent for the publication and after about 20 minutes of it trying to start, it gives up with this error.
Server execution failed
There is no more information in the event viewer. I've tried it with a bunch of different subscriptions. SQL Server and SQL Agent are running under a local account which has access to the replcation data directory. SQL Agent is running.
We've been experiencing some problems on some of our databases ever since we've updated our servers to SP5. Backup exec seems to hang up after reaching a small number of bytes and then goes no further. I've installed the new MDACS drivers but it hasn't solved the problem.
i know this topic has been covered and i've searched but i can't find the answer.
-SQL server is a diffrent server than my backup server -i've installed the sql agent option on the backup exec server -i've installed the client network utility on the remote server
the backup server doesn't see the SQL server databases. any thoughts
I've been using replication for a long while now but have never come across this error. It's a basic transactional replication from ServerA to ServerB, where ServerA is also the distributor. Everything had been running fine on it until yesterday, when this error started popping up and no further transactions could be delivered.
After some quick googling I was able to determine that the distribution agent account needed write access to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Com. According to the MSFT article it's because the distribution agent is running under a non-default profile. I didn't change this. However, what I did change around the time that these errors started occurring was the server's Replication Max Test Size setting. It would be far too coincidental for this to not be the cause, but what I don't understand is *why* that would have changed it.
how do I change this? It is definitely not preferable to create temp files in this directory in our environment.
This seems to happen just after our backups run. the result is that the SQL Server Enterprise Manager can be brought up the next day but nothing can be accessed or inquired of. The service is still running, the server is still up and rebooting the server resolves the problem.

Is anybody else using Arcserve Backup Agent for SQL Server for Windows NT, RAID 5? Have you seen this? I`ve been to MS home page and on technet. No mention of this problem. Next stop is Arcserve home page, if they have one. I have read the error logs and this is the second time this has happened this week. Both times since we added Arcserve to manage our MS SQL Server Database backups.
please help me, i need to know if i need to purchase a sql agent for veritas backup exec. i am using the sql msde version only, not the full scale version. any help would be great.
If we were to assign permissions to a backup agent such as Backup Exec to backup the databases on the SQL server, what role would give the least amount but sufficient permissions to perform the backup? I know domain admin would make the agent a local admin and therefore allow it to back up the database but is there a role available to allow backup only?
Please note that I'm referring to a domain account used by Backup Exec to directly backup the databases rather than sql server agent.
I can't access SQL Server 2008 R2 remotely on Windows 2008
1. TCP/IP Enabled for SQL Server Network Configuration Protocols, SQL Native Client 10.0 configuration clients, and SQL Native Client 10.0 configuration clients(32 bit)
2. Firewall disabled to make sure its not interferring with things.
I noticed the SQL Server Agent is Stopped. Not sure if this is the issue. When I try and turn this from disabled to Automatic or Manual, I get this error:
Does anyone know why a backup database statement aborts a job in a stored procedure so that you can't handle the error with @@error, but when you run the same stored procedure in a query window the error handling does get run?
What dose this error mesage mean? The Microsoft Tape Format (MTF) soft filemark database on backup device 'VbLSADBMCBACKUPvatt_cequest_backup.BAK' cannot be read, inhibiting random access.

Guys, When I try backup database, I see error message:

I am running our CRM and, for the first time, tried running backups today. I'm getting the following error:

This is our live database, so I have to be careful with what I do. Some googling hasn't really helped. dbcc shows nothing. I've since tried removing the full text catalogs (that's what the file_id references in sys.database_files), but the 65538 file_id remains. So, if anyone knows how I can get around this to backup my data, I'd love to know.
I Scheduled a job to take a backup@everyday 11:00P.M.This job fails and showing the following error.
SQL Server Scheduled Job 'DB Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'LA'' (0x77C06CE237C0B4418CF661ADF98FEC43) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2008-04-30 08:12:47 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by User DMN1fisc-sql-svc. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).
I Scheduled to run a job at every day@11P.M.The job has been failing every day.This is the error message...

Yestarday night we had a log backup failure at 3.00 AM on a sql server 2000. After that the hourly log backup's went on smoothly.
When I checked the sql server logs , it showed me the error:
Backup Disk File:Create Media:Backup Device 'D:mssqlackupvmwarevmware_log' failed Operating system error=32 ( The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)
I tried to google it , but could not get a good answer.
I have a problem with the backup. I made a new MaintenancePlan to take backup of the databases, but everytime I get an erroe message which it say's:
"[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'DomainAdministrator', error code 0x5. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)"
"[298] SQLServer Error: 3621, The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)"
I tried to find out the problem but I couldn't. Is it something with AD in our domain or with the owner of the databases?
