I seem to have a problem with my SQL Server log backup system. First I was receiving alerts that the log file was filling up, so I increased it from 3Mb to 150Mb, but then I got another alert saying the same thing, later on I got an alert saying that the log backup had failed. I then decided to truncate the log and do a full backup after as suggested, however this did not work, I don't know if I am doing something wrong, this is really confusing and frustrating.
I have scheduled transaction log backups to occur every 15 minutes with database backups every sunday at 1.00AM and differential db backups every day at 1.30AM.
While viewing the job history of the transaction log backups through enterprise manager, I noticed that one transaction log backup had failed at 1.00AM on sunday. The error message was,
"Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3023) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed. "
Please let me know what the error message implies. Will there be any problem if the transaction log backup takes place at the same time as the full database backup or diff. db backup?
I have a job that runs full backs and that was successfull but all my transaction log backups failed. This is the error message i get:
1.VDI error 1010: Failed to get configuration from server. Check that the SQL Server instance is running, and that you have the SQL Server Systems Administrator server role. Error code: (-2139684861: The api was waiting and the timeout interval had elapsed.)
2.SQL error 3013: BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
3.SQL error 4214: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
I'm getting "Executed as user: SPIESQLService. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed." on the TRN backup portion of the maintenance plan for the msdb and model databases. On review of files created it's clear that the msdb trn log backup is failing, but there's no other error to indicate the underlying problem.
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?
The Transaction log backups that I do for the msdb and master databases ALWAYS fail. The full database backups always succeed. Are the master and msdb databases not supposed to have their transaction logs backed up? Jobs where configured thru the Database Maintenance wizard. Will the jobs fail if nothing has changed in either database? I am also confused by the fact that database and log backups for the model database ALWAYS work when I expect their to be little if none activity in that database.
I’m attempting to insert the result set from a remote query into a local table and I’m getting the following error:
Msg 8501, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 MSDTC on server 'REMOTESVR' is unavailable. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01c]. Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
MSDTC is running on both servers. Has anyone ever seen this or have any insight into the cause?
I have some tables that I need to wipeout and reload once per day. So I have created a T-SQL task that does a truncate table, then a data flow task, then a update statistics task. Running those works fine, but as soon as I put them all into a sequence container and set the container to require transactions, the first step gets a connection failure. "Failed to acquire connection "<name>". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection". I am using a .Net SQLClient data provider for the T-SQL task and in the data flow task I have to use a OLEDB provider so that I can run the task locally in development.
Is there something I am doing wrong or is there some other way to handle truncate, load, update stats all in a transaction?
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.
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.
I've written some provider independent code that dynamically generates and loads DbCommands with data via Parameters and executes them within a transaction. Everything works fine until an exception occurs and then the DbCommand.Transaction property that was set goes to null, effectively killing any chance of rolling back the transaction. I've noticed this only happens when the executed command is of type SqlCommand. The OracleCommand mainitains its link to the set transaction of failure. Upon further investigation, I found that this only occurs when parameters are used but not if I dynamically generate the insert statement as a string.. For instance:SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);conn.Open();SqlTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction();SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();comm.Connection = conn;comm.Transaction = transaction; command.commandText = "INSERT INTO Table1 Values (1, 2, 3)";command.ExecuteNonQuery(); If I execute that and it fails the command.Transaction property will remain set to transaction, but in this scenario: SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);conn.Open();SqlTransaction transaction = conn.BeginTransaction();SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();comm.Connection = conn;comm.Transaction = transaction; comm.commandText = "INSERT INTO Table1 Values (@Col1,@Col2, @Col3)";comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col1", 1); comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col2", 2);comm.Parameters.add(new SqlParameter("@Col3", 3); comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); Upon failing the comm.Transaction property gets somehow goes null and the Connection property of the transaction object also goes null.Any ideas on why this only happens with a SqlCommand but no other DbCommand?
I have 14 beta users on a PPC application based on .NET CF 2.0 and SQLCE 3.0. Data is sent back and forth as XML via web services. One user cannot complete the initial download - he receivces the following error every time:
A foreign key value cannot be inserted because a corresponding primary key value does not exist. [ Primary key constraint name = FK_jobtask_job ]
I have run the queries for this user and verified that no task has a JobID that is not in the Job table. I am also able to successfully complete the initial download as the user in the Mobile 5.0 PPC emulator. His device has 130 MB of free storage space and 20 MB program space (my emulator has 11 MB storage and 70 MB program).
The initial download for this user is about 14 MB of XML, all of which will be inserted in the SDF under a single transaction. Although the SDF was only 4.75 MB on my emulator (after successfully downloading as this user) I am wondering if there is an unreported error in the handling of the transaction or its temp file that causes the error he receives. Frankly, I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have details about transaction temp file size limits or any other ideas that might lead to a resolution?
Running SQL Server 7: Looking at the jobs under SQL Server Agent in Enterprise Manager, I notice that several of my backup jobs failed last night, is there anywhere I can look that will give me a more descriptive error message? I looked at the SQL Server Logs and didn't find anything that gives me any clue. Thanks. joe
I have backing SQL Server which consists of several database. The scheduled Maintenance plans backs up all the database except the larger one. Backup is across network at night. I get the following errors.
Write on '\tetnassqlbackupTetnetreports201006.BAK' failed, status = 121. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
looking at log gives the following details : (both associated to the same backup)
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [Tetnetreports] TO DISK = N'\tetnassqlbackupTetnetreports_db_200610192302 .BAK' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
and
BackupDiskFile::RequestDurableMedia: failure on backup device '\tetnassqlbackupTetnetreports_db_200610192302. BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).
Yet it allows me to BACKUP to LOCAL C: DRIVE without issues:eek:

I have created a Maintenance plan using Wizard, In this plan I am doing full backup of 12 DBs to share drive, I created only one step as full backup. And Scheduled this at 7 pm everyday, the following is the error I am getting in the Logfile, can some one please through some light on this.
" failed with the following error: "Cannot open backup device \shq-ss2sql backupSQL_PRODDBWorkFlow_backup_200708291911.bak. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).

Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
SQL Server Instance and SQL Agent are running under domain admin account, Share Drive folder has full control by domain admin.
I am the local admin on the SQL Server box, and I have read, write and delete, create permissions on the share drive for backups folder.
If I have a database backup from sunday, and a failure occurs monday... Can the backup .mdf and .ldf files be attached, and the backup log after the point of failure be applied to them? The problem I am having is it looks like you can only restore from a .bak file, and then apply the log at the point of failure. IT doesn't look like you can restore the .ldf/.mdf files, and then apply the backup log from the point of failure.
Can someone please help? I'm in desparate need of fixing this !
Help! I am getting a Job failure for a DB Backup Job when I open up the EM -> Management -> SQL Server Agt -> Jobs When I check the SQL Logs, there is no Error message, nor is there an error message in the DB Maintenance Plan History. I checked the Server to make sure the DB was being backed up, and the current file is there. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks! (make me look good to the rest of my group!)
Greetings,I am seeking information related to this subject.BOL suggests backing up the active transaction log immediately after afailure, so that the backup can be used in a recovery scenario if necessary.This is the relevant text from BOL "Transaction Log Backup":----//The transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. contains transaction logrecords from 4:00 P.M. through 8:00 P.M., spanning the time when thedatabase backup was created at 6:00 P.M. The sequence of transaction logbackups is continuous from the initial database backup created at 8:00 A.M.to the last transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. The followingprocedures can be used to restore the database to its state at 10:00 P.M.(point of failure).Restore the database using the last database backup created.1.. Create a backup of the currently active transaction log.---// end of excerptIf the failure results in loss of the instance and/or the log's parent db,how would we back up that log? Even if we could, what confidence would wehave that the backed up log was not corrupted at failure time?Thanks,PSG

I am having a problem with a regular backup of an SQL Server (MSDE2000) database to a local drive. I initiate the backup once a week, byissuing the required T-SQL, via ADO. In this case, the T-SQL is:BACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'Note that "local_backup" is a file sitting on the same physical driveas the database itself, and has > 80 GB free. It is not a RAID device.The database that I am backing up is 1.6 GB. Oddly, the backup ofanother database to the same file was successful; it was ~900 MB.Even more strangely, I also back these databases up to a networkdrive, which has been running successfully for a number of weeks now(longer than the local backup), and continues to work without anytrouble. The resultant backup file is much larger than the one sittingon the local drive (6.8 GB on the network drive vs ~4 GB locally) Thisnetwork drive has less space (~50 GB) and is configured as RAID 0. Itis a Linux box, using Samba to present the drive to the Windowsnetwork.Any ideas?? I am completely stumped. Obviously, Microsoftdocumentation has been particularly unhelpful.The excerpt below is taken from the SQL server error log, covering acouple of attempts.Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!Nick Tompson.2004-07-06 09:56:01.99 spid54 BackupMedium::ReportIoError: writefailure on backup device 'C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak'.Operating system error 112(error not found).2004-07-06 09:56:02.01 spid54 Internal I/O request 0x02672360: Op:Write, pBuffer: 0x02890000, Size: 65536, Position: 4294914560, UMS:Internal: 0x103, InternalHigh: 0x0, Offset: 0xFFFF3200, OffsetHigh:0x0, m_buf: 0x02890000, m_len: 65536, m_actualBytes: 0, m_errcode:112, BackupFile: C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak2004-07-06 09:56:02.01 backup BACKUP failed to complete the commandBACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'2004-07-06 09:56:17.08 spid54 Starting up database'GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive'.2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 spid54 BackupMedium::ReportIoError: writefailure on backup device 'C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak'.Operating system error 112(error not found).2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 spid54 Internal I/O request 0x02674360: Op:Write, pBuffer: 0x028A0000, Size: 65536, Position: 4294914560, UMS:Internal: 0x103, InternalHigh: 0x0, Offset: 0xFFFF3200, OffsetHigh:0x0, m_buf: 0x028A0000, m_len: 65536, m_actualBytes: 0, m_errcode:112, BackupFile: C:Front EndLocal BackupDB_Backup.bak2004-07-06 09:56:33.11 backup BACKUP failed to complete the commandBACKUP DATABASE GPRS_Dimensioning_Archive TO local_backup WITHRETAINDAYS=21, NAME='GDA_20040706'
According to our stratergy we are taking trans log backup of every user database everuy two hours.things seem to work great and with success at the day time and at night once at 12.03 and 2.03 they fail and when i checked the error log i found that there is only one database for which its failing and it gives the following error.

As Said by someone i took a full backup...tooooo it does not solve the issue.
I have not been able to find any details about backup failures forMSSQL 2000. I am researching the following:1. when a backup fails at a certain point during the process does thebackup:A. stop there having recorded some details?B. quit without backing up any of the data it already processed?C. skip the data it cannot read and move on?2. Does the error log record any of the details above? For instance, ifthere is a table that the backup could not write to .bak, does theerror log report exactly where the error was?I need a way to obtain a Backup Exception 'Report' that when a backupfails it can tell me what did not get into the .bak file. I wouldprefer automatic notification. Our Oracle DBs have something setupthat can be run when a piece of the DB does not get backed up lettingthe Oracle DBA know where there are issues.Thank you,Stephanie
Can someone help me with this error? It only occurs when I try to backup to the UNC name (which is local to the machine). When I do it with a drive letter, I have no problem.
My DB recently goes weird after the Hard Disk failed and replaced last week. The SQL have 3 database running on my computer, DB1, DB2 and DB3. my computer has Disk C and Disk D, they both work fine that i can save and delete on them both. But now, the database backup of DB1 fails everytime, first i thoguth it's the Hard DIsk's problem, but after i tried to backup the other DB (DB2 and DB3) on Disk D, it works fine....therefore...i am here...without any idea. What even weird is, I can backup my DB1 on Disk C without any problem, but just can't do it on Disk C. Can anyone help ~ thank you
Here comes the error message i got : BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device 'D:DB_BAKmy_DB1.bak' Operation system error 2 (The system Can't find the file)
Recently 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.

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.
I am getting a failure on the db backup job of one of my maintenanceplans. It is coming back with the generic error message of,"sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The stepfailed."I then checked the Database Maintenance Plan History page, but thisshows all the steps having run successfully. If I check the drives forthe actual backup files, they exist and look healthy too!There is plenty of space on the drives, so it is not that.I've checked the NT logs and all they say is,"SQL Server Scheduled Job 'DB Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan 'DBMaintenance Plan for All User Databases''(0xC06E15E2A9E1414087BE19541D167861) - Status: Failed - Invoked on:2005-06-29 21:00:04 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked bySchedule 35 (Schedule 1). The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1). "Which doesn't give me any clues.Since the backups have actually run to success, I am going to take offthe option on the maintenance plan to "Verfiy the integrity of thebackup upon completion". Maybe it is this that is causing problems,rather than the backup?Anyone had anything similar?
Hello, My master database (MS SQL 2005) has simple recovery model, however, when performing diff backup of "all databases", I am getting the following error:
Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [master] TO DISK = N'X:\Database Backups\diff backups\master\master_backup_200803251235.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'master_backup_20080325123514', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I choose to back up only "All user databases", then it performs just fine. Why I cannot run diff backup of master?
