Transaction Log Backup Fails
May 7, 2001
My transaction log backup is failing with the following error:
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

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.
[1] Database onyx: Transaction Log Backup...
Destination: [R:BACKUPonyxonyx_tlog_200411090230.TRN]
** Execution Time: 0 hrs, 0 mins, 23 secs **
[2] Database onyx: Verifying Backup...
** Execution Time: 0 hrs, 0 mins, 8 secs **
Deleting old text reports... 1 file(s) deleted.
End of maintenance plan 'DB Maintenance Plan1' on 09/11/2004 02:30:31
SQLMAINT.EXE Process Exit Code: 1 (Failed)
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?

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.

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?

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

I 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.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I have some triggers that insert data in a table located in a remote server. If the remote server happens to be down I want to continue with the original transaction anyway. Can I use a BENGIN TRY BEGIN CATCH block to continue with the transaction in the trigger and also insert the data into a temporal local table if the remote insert fails?
Regards

SQL Server 2000, C#, ASP.NET and ADO.NET. I have searched for 3 days trying to figure out why my ADO.NET Transaction executes my stored procedures and runs the .COMMIT() on the server, figured this out by using the SQL Profiler, but the data doesn't show up in the database tables and I recieve no error from SQL or ASP.NET. What gives???? Anyone else ever heard of such a thing. Please help, before I loose my sanity.

SQL server agent is running though.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Hi
We have a nightly job on a production server which backs up all databases
(about 90 on the server)
Sometimes it'll only backup some of them, yet it reports success.
Our proc to manage the process is below:
Any ideas on what we need to do to make it reliable ?

DECLARE @DB_Name varchar(32)
DECLARE @Backup_Path varchar(255)
DECLARE @Backup_Name varchar(255)
DECLARE DB_Cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT NAME FROM sysdatabases
OPEN DB_Cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM DB_Cursor INTO @DB_Name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF @DB_Name <> 'tempdb' AND @DB_Name <> 'model'
BEGIN
print '--------------------------------<< ' + @db_name + '
>>--------------------------------'
SET @Backup_Path = N'd:sql2005backupsightly' + @DB_Name + 'Daily' +
'.bak'
SET @Backup_Name = @DB_Name + N' backup'
BACKUP DATABASE @DB_Name TO DISK = @Backup_Path WITH INIT
print ''
END
FETCH NEXT FROM DB_Cursor INTO @DB_Name
END
Print "Finished backing up the databases"
CLOSE DB_cursor
DEALLOCATE DB_cursor

I am trying to backup a database to a tape. It works when it wants to. I get a 3013 error. The drive is fully functional. Seagate backup works fine. SQL Backup does not. I think it might be that the tape needs retensioning sometimes. Here is the sql statement: BACKUP DATABASE pubs TO TAPE='.ape0' WITH FORMAT. Is there a retension parameter I am failing to see?

I've problems with backing up the certificate (on the Witness Server). On principal and mirror, it works fine (Win 2003 Server, US English), but on my local PC (XP Prof, German) what i use as witness Server following backup command raises an error:
USE master;
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'something$Strong123';
CREATE CERTIFICATE HOST_W_cert WITH SUBJECT = 'HOST_W certificate for database mirroring', START_DATE = '01/01/2006', EXPIRY_DATE = '12/31/2050';
BACKUP CERTIFICATE HOST_W_cert TO FILE = 'C:HOST_W_cert.cer';
The error message is:
Msg 15240, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot write into file 'C:HOST_W_cert.cer'. Verify that you have write permissions, that the file path is valid, and that the file does not already exist.
I connect to the database with a domain user what is a local admin on the witness server (my local user), so this couldn't be a permission reason. The file doesn't already exists, so that is not the problem.
What could it be?

I am running a SQL Server 2000 installation with several databases. Eachdatabase and log is backed-up using a maintenance plan.The scheduled maintance plan for the latest database does not run, butdisplays no error. There is no entry in the job history. The same thinghappens when I try to run the individual jobs from Enterprise Manager.I've checked the database recovery model (full), the location of the backupfiles (same as the other databases), and just about everything else I canthink of. The scheduled maintenance plan for every other database runs asit should.What am I missing?ThanksIain

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

We have a rather large environment and have just a couple of boxes out there that we are getting cannot begin distributed transaction on inserts and updates but works fine on selects. Inserts and updates work fine outside the begin tran / commit so it's definitely DTC
We have checked the configuration on and the source box is set to No authentication required same for destination.
We have: Verified credentials running the service, changed them, same problem. Uninstalled and re-installed MSDTC per Microsoft instructions.
Have run all the tools for checking DTC DTCPing etc and followed those procedures which typically in the past has resolved any DTC issues. Other than swapping out the offending pc for a new one we are at a loss.

Hi everyone,
I am running SQL 2000 SP3. I have one maintenence plan that is backing up one database and that is working fine. I am trying to create another maintenence plan for another database but the job does not execute and it gives me errors. Both SQL server and the agent uses 'local system account' to run the service. I have tried changing this to a domain account to see if it fixes anything. Also on the jobs, the job owner is a domain account. Below are two erros I am getting when running the jobs.
Error1:
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 'D:SQL Backups....mybackupfile.bak' failed to create. Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
Error2:
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [Database_Name] TO DISK = N'D:SQL Backups....mybackupfile.bak' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
Any help would be appreciated.

We are doing the following steps:-
1. Weekly Full Bckup
2.Daily Differential backup
3.hr Log back up
The following command works fine for all the Backups. it means backup file is fine.
RESTORE FILELISTONLY from DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ full.BAK'
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewDB_ ull.BAK'
RESTORE LABELONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
Also The full back up restoration works fine:
RESTORE DATABASE Test3 FROM DISK = 'D:BackupewTest_full.BAK'
WITH MOVE 'Test2_Data' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Data.MDF',
MOVE 'Test2_Log' TO 'F:MSSQL2KMSSQLdataTest2Net_Log.LDF',
NORECOVERY
GO

Processed 1 pages for database 'Test3', file 'test2_Log' on file 1.
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 1033 pages in 1.907 seconds (4.433 MB/sec).
*/
But While restoring the Differential file it throws error:
RESTORE DATABASE Test3 from DISK = 'D:Backupew est2_Diff1.bak'
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
Msg 3136, Level 16, State 0, Line 1

Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I checked the SQL Server Log no error msg corresponding Differential backup restore.
I don't know how to proceed further.Can any one guide me how to over come this..
Thanks !

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.
I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.
Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

The database is SQL Server 2000. Recover Plan = 'Simple'. Maintenance Plan always fails when DBCC tries to put database in single-user mode so it can do the backup, if there is a user has a connection to it from EssBase. No queries running - just a connection. How can I get SQL Server to automatically kill the connections so it can do the backup?
