I want to backing up my hourly transaction log backups direct to a mass storage unit as opposed to the local server. However when trying to set this up it only gives me option of backing up to local drives, even though I have a drive mappping to the mass storage unit.. I'm there is a simple around this.Would appreciate any advice..many Thanks..
View 2 RepliesThe space allocated to the Log in question is 180 GB. During this time period I was running TLog backups every 5 minutes, yet the log continued to chew through to 80 GB used, even after the process was complete and a final TLog backup had been taken. It continued to stay very large until the Full backup was complete -- or something else that I'm unaware of completed. Like every other DBA I typically take a TLog backup to shrink the log, but what appeared to be the case here was the Full completed and it released the used log space. All said, will Transaction Log backups not free up the log during Full backups?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn MSQL Server 2000 how can I expand or use multiple transaction logs because the hard disk i am using windows dont have more than 4 GB free and the query i want to run overcomes this space.
I have another one HDD with 20-30 GB free space and i want to use this disk so to use a second transaction log or move this log to this disk.
Can this be happen and how ????
Thank you in advance
I setup a maintenance plan to create full backups every night and to backup the transaction logs every hour. In the backup log, it always fails on backing up the transaction log for Master and MSDB. I believe this is because the recovery model for these two databases is set to "SIMPLE". Is it ok to change the recovery model on these two system databases to "FULL"?
Thanks,

I am trying to create a backup for the transaction logs on one
of the databases I support. The problem is in EM, the only
options it gives me are a Full DB Backup or a Differential DB
Backup. I have other DB's with TL backup's, why can't I on this
particular one?
I have 5 databases on my sql server and they are taking backups on everyday twice. ANd we are not taking any transactional log backups.Now i have very larger log files which are more than 6 GB each.And the databases are less in size compared to the logfiles.
Should I take transaction log backups with truncate option...
PLease suggest me the best stratagy i should follow to overcome the problem.
Thanks.
Yesterday I received a message from the Trans Log backup job that it could not complete because a full backup wasn't completed. I checked and a full backup was completed that morning 5:00 AM. This happened during the 4 PM run and again at 5 PM. There was enough space to do the backup, even though I did a shrink file on the log. I, also, ran another backup between 5-6 PM. Between both of these activities, the job completed during the 6 PM run. Is this a common occurance? Has anyone else seen this happen. I am curious. Any light that can be shed on this, would be greatlt appreciated. Tom.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a backup regime where i take a full backup of my production database once a day and then 3 min log backups, I backup my msdb and master once a week.
I need to write a script to scroll through a given directory and restore the log backups in date/time order(with no restore) until the last file and then restore.
I know this is availible in the backup history but if my SQl box crashes and i cant get a uptodate master and msdb the backup history will not be uptodate to restore the database to it's current state.
Can anybody help with a script? or give me any pointers of how to read in filenames in SQL (please remenber i am a SQL virgin).

SQL 7 SP1 NT 4.0 SP5
I created a backup plan for transaction logs only to run every 30 minutes. It works great for all databases except the Master and my main database scdb_v2.
The routine backups up the other 3 databases with no issue.
Why is this happening ?

Using SQL Server 6.5 and NT 4.0,..I'm trying to schedule a backup of a transaction log from one SQL Server
to another SQL Server both running NT 4.0. I keep getting:
dbsvolopen:Backup device t:ackup
emote.dat failed to open, operating system error =5 (Access denied)
I've checked every conceivable permissions entry on the target NT server and am now reading about the
different security modes for communicating between SQL Servers but I'm concerned that this may not be
where the problem really resides. Time is money.
Has anyone else configured a backup strategy where the database has a full backup to tape daily and the
transaction log is backed up every couple of hours, without truncatre, to disk, on another SQL Server?
Thanks in advance,
Doug
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.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
We are running SQL Server 2000 and making full database backups using a maintenance plan. The transaction logs are being backed up via a separate plan.
However, the transaction log backups aren't purging but the database ones are. They are both run under the same id and both write to the same directory. Old text reports also get purged fine. I've got 'Delete older than 1 week' ticked for everything.
Can anyone think of anything else to check ?
Thanks
New to Sql Server, running SQL Server 2000.Our transaction log file backups occasionally fail as the size of thetransaction log gets really huge. We'd like to schedule additionaltransaction log backups. Does that require an exclusive on the databaseor can the db be used during a transaction log backup?Also, does switching to a bulk mode recovery model before a bulkoperation then switching back to full recovery mode after present anyissues?Thanks in advance.
View 16 Replies View RelatedHave a small shop and a maintenance plan that does a full backup on all user databases every night. I would have thought that a full backup (transaction log, too), would reduce the size of the transaction logs? Isn't that the point of a full backup? Mine seem to be growing larger. I do the shrink, rebuild indexes, backup the databse, backup the transaction log, clear history and folders older than 7 days. For example, the following db decreased only once during the period. But, note how the transaction log size continues to increases most of the time.

Hi,
On our SQL Server 2005 SP 2 i recently updated our Backup Plan.
I now make a Full backup every night, Differential backup every hour and Transaction log backup every 15 minutes.
This all works fine all the time except sometimes when the differential and transaction log backups want to run on the same time and then 1 of the 2 fails.
The error i get is code 0xC0010018. Error loading a task.
I made 1 Maintenance Plan with a subplan for each backup type (Full, differ....), so i can schedule them the way i want.
Searched the internet for an answer but i couldn't find it. The tasks only fail when the run simultaneous. Starting them manually always works.
Anybody has an idea what i need to do to get this working properly?
Thanks!!
We have a maintenance plan in SQL 7.0 that is performs a full backup each night and is supposed to perform tran log backups every two hours throughout each business day. For the most part, the first tran log backup after the full backup works fine, but the others fail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Does anyone know of a utility to read SQL 7 Transaction Log Backups and present them in a meaningful format?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe SQL server transition log backups for the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases have stopped working ever since I applied SQL Server SP2 to my TFS. I know this because I know the date the SQL SP was applied and I see that my transaction logs started to fail immediately after application of the SP. This is noted because the backup logs for SQL server start to contain the failure immediately after SP2 application. The failure is because the databases are now set to the simple recovery model (or they were set to the simple model before application of SP2 and the previous SQL server allowed or properly ignored transaction log backups with the simple database recovery model). Why is this failing since the backup task indicates that databases with simple recovery are automatically excluded? Is the reportserver and reportservertempdb both supposed to be simple recovery? I thought reportserver was usually full recovery.

I am using transaction replication between a transaction and reporting database server. When I use a snapshot to initialize my subscribers, I currently get a lot of deadlocks during the snapshot creation. I am considering using a database backup instead.

How to implement distinct storage tiers on SQL Remote BLOB Storage (RBS)?
I want to use this SQL Feature to move files(images, videos, pdf files) from a database to a distinct database dedicated to RBS. Then I want to have several storage tiers, where objects will be saved and moved according access frequency. Old data will be arquived in cheap storage, but it must be always accessible if needed.
Description:
- 1st and main tier: new and frequently accessed objects stored in high performance storage;
- 2nd tier: automatically move older or less accessed objects to an inexpensive and different storage tier;
- in all cases, all objects must be accessible to all users, but accessing to archived objects(2nd tier) will be much slower;
I am a Windows developer for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server (TSMS) product.
Our product installation is built with InstallShield and uses the Windows Installer.
On a new installation of Windows 2003 x64 Storage Server R2, at a customer's site, the TSMS product fails to install.
The install of the OS has version 3.01.400.3959 of the Windows Installer and I see no newer version that installs.
Part of our product is 32 bit (console) and another part is x64 (server).
When installing I can see that the install's default is being redirected/reset to C:Program Files (x86)TivoliTSM after it is explicitly set by a custom action to ..Program Files.. . I further observe that our custom actions to write 64 bit registry entries are being refused.
REGSAM samMask = KEY_ALL_ACCESS;
if ( regIsWow64Process () ) samMask = samMask | KEY_WOW64_64KEY;
lStatus = RegCreateKeyEx( hLocalConnectKeyRoot,
szSubkey,
0L,
NULL,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
samMask,
NULL,
hKey,
&dw ) ;
The above fails to create the key.
We have tried four versions of our TSMS spanning many changes but the install acts the same.
This does not happen on any other Windows OS we test on but we do not test on Windows 2003 Storage Server R2 being that it is an OEM product. We did test on Windows server 2003 R2 x64 and do not see this problem.
Do you have any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
I have full installation traces but can only see that the registry work is being refused. I can't see why.
I have a Hits table that tracks the hits on the id of a Link table:
Hits:
int linkId (foreign Key to Link)
datetime dateCreated
varchar(50) ip
We recently had to merge Links from different systems that are implemented similarly. As a result, all the linkIds are now wrong in the Hits table because the ids all changed. I managed to track down all the old ids and their associated new ids and have it in a table that I call joined_links
joined_linksint oldId
int newId
So, how do I do a mass update of these linkIds in the Hits table in SQL? I know I could do it in .NET, but I'd rather not write an app to do that runs thousands of update statements. There's gotta be a way to do it something like this:
UPDATE Hits h SET h.linkId = (SELECT newId FROM joined_links WHERE oldId=h.linkId)
but obviously I don't have visibility of that linkId in the subselect... A Loop maybe?
I have a series of DTS packages.
Each package has 20 queries.
Each query has a server name.
Is there a way to change the servername without editing each query in each DTS package.
I'd like to copy the template DTS package, then perform the modification.
Thanks
This is a run of the mill application that moves orders from one table to another. There are 2 tables, Ordersummary & HstOrders.
Ordersummary has the following columns...
Identifier
FollowupId
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderReferenceOrigin
......
......
HstOrders has the following columns...
Identifier
OrderNumber
OrderReference
OrderType
......
......
The above two tables are bound by Identifier. After each month end, Orders are moved from Ordersummary to HstOrders.
Now my task is to update all rows in OrderSummary with the order details as seen in HSTOrders for ordertype = 'CREDIT'. OrderReferenceOrigin(in Ordersummary) should be updated with the value of Orderreference(from hstorders).
I have to update each row at a time & I need to write a cursor for mass updates where ordersummary.identifier = hstorders.identifier.
Can someone please help with in writing this update statement as I never wrote a cursor.
Hi friends,
Any idea about mass mailing system using SQL Server .Pls get back to me.
thanx and regards

I'm fairly new to SQL Server and I'm just wondering if it's possible to Update Statistice for all indexes somehow? I'm looking at the Update Statistics command and it doesn't seem to be possible.
The situation we have is a reporting DB that basically has all it's tables truncated and remade every night by some DTS jobs that import from another datasource and change the data and build some denormalzed tables etc.
Some of the large Insert operations go from taking 8 mins to taking several hours sometimes and updating the stats seems to fix the problem for a while. So I'd like to make sure the optimizer has all the latest stats for all tables.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Hi,
I have an user table with a single integer column. No indexes, no identities, nothing. I have to insert 600,000 rows via a client app. In tests, using BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS all runs OK (sub 3 seconds). However the app takes 5000 rows a second [considerably slower]. I can mimic this slow perfomance, within DTS, by removing the 'Fast Load' & 'Batch' options.
Question= why would the SQL insert run slower on one server and as fast as BCP/Bulk Insert/DTS on another? What can I check on the 'slow' running server? May there be a file version anomally ??
Version = SQL-2000 SP4
Any help much appreciated !!!
