URGENT !!!! Transaction Log Backup Running Longer Time
Dec 26, 2002Hi Guys,
We have a database with 20 gig and with huge transactions. The transaction log backup is scheduled every one hour
from 3.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
We take a full backup in the disk at 9.00 PM and again a full backup in the tape at 2.00 AM
It works fine in the day from 6.00 AM and complete within seconds and the size is approx. 50 to 200 MB.
But the very first transaction log backup at 3.00 AM is running like 3 hrs and the size is approx. 11 gig whick is almost equivalent to the Full backup size. There are some dts packages that are running in the night and as usual reindex, intergrity checks are running and there no large user traffic during night. But I have no idea which the very first transaction log backup in the morning takes longer time and has this bug size. Is there any work around to fix this proble.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anu
SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We 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?

Dec 7, 2001How do we know the list of all the backups that are present in a particualr backup device like file# and time of backup taken etc for the purose of restore?
When I run :

Should Full Backup And Transaction Backup Be From One Plan?
Mar 11, 2008Hello, 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

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?
Oct 14, 2007I 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!

Transaction Log URGENT!!!
Jul 22, 2002Hi! i need to clean the transaction log of a local database. I used to do this in SQL server 6.5 with the sentence 'dump transaction {DB} with no_log'. After this ran 'sp_spaceused @updateusage = 'true'' and the problem was corrected. How can i do this in version 7' ? Are the same sentences?

Transaction Log & Replication -- URGENT
Apr 2, 2002Hi All,
I have been asked to take over the maintenance on dB servers that I have not originally 'set up'. The request came as a result of the database log files growing at such a rapid pace its taking up hard drive space. I ran sp_dboption and noticed that the log files are NOT set up to truncate on checkpoint. As in SQL 2000 I wanted to determine if the dB was set up in 'simple' or 'full' recovery mode. It appears they are set up in 'full' recovery mode (which we can modify, since this is not a transactional dB and we rarely if ever have to restore from the transaction log). Hence my question,
Is there anything I need to worry about (regarding replication)if I change the dboption to truncate on checkpoint and set dB in simple recovery mode?
And after I backup the transaction log and try to shrink it will that have any adverse affects? I feel like this is all I need to do but replication is new ground for me, any information regarding it would be greatly appreciated. Also, any advice on how to maintain the transaction logs would be helpful.

Urgent Transaction Log Problem
Jul 27, 2000Hi,
I have just migrated the 6.5 SQL Server to 7 and the intial isze of Db growth was unlimited for 7.0 and so was the transaction log
, now the problem is that the trasaction log file has grown to 8GB, i truncated the transaction log and took a complete DB
backup now the log size is 90MB but i was to put restrictions on log growth to max of 1500MB but when i go to properties of Db
and try to change the log size to 1500 it says cannot change it as the size is less than max size, the max size it shows currently is 8GB
i was to re set it to 1.5GB how can i do that i have tried shrinking the file and relasing the space to OS but still the size it show to me
is 8GB.
What shold i do...

Distributed Transaction Error - Help Urgent
Nov 2, 2005i have two remote servers connected to each other through the linked servers.

Transaction Rollback And Database Restore-urgent
Dec 8, 2000Hi,
We have an order posting stored procedure that's been executing for 14 hours now. This procedure has simple update statements but all the tables updated have triggers which update other tables with triggers and so on.
This procedure hasn't commited yet. I have a full database backup from last night and transaction log backup from this morning while it was running. I want to kill this job and restore database from last backup. Only thing I am afraid of is that it will take too long to roll back which I have no estimate of time. Is there any faster way to get rid of all the uncommited transactions? Has anybody rolled back such a massive transaction? Any idea on how long it can take? Can it affect the overall server performance as this is the main production ERP server.
I can see in profiler that this procedure is still running and not hung.

Backup From A Different Server. URGENT!!!
Jan 22, 2001Can I backup a db which is on server1 by sitting at server2 by way of running a script on server2.
Thanks.
URGENT - Backup Hanging
Jan 29, 2001My overnight backups hang occasionally. I say this because there is no consistancy to when the routine will hang. It happens on the first step where it reindexes. The only user database on the server is about 12GB. The server is dedicated to SQL so nothing else runs on it. It has 2x 800 MHz processors with 2 G of ram of which 1.5 is allocated to SQL.
I can't trace the error because it happens before the report is written to. There are a few tables with a million plus records that take up almost a 1G per table.
It was my understanding that if users were in the database they would notice a big performance loss but that the backups would still run. Could it dying because of resource contention? I'm at a loss and really could use some input. I can't afford to go a whole weekend without a backup.
Is there a way for me to progammatically check who is the database prior to the job kicking off?
Any ideas as to what would cause an inconsistant hang of job is greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Kelsey

Urgent Backup Problem - Please Help
Apr 29, 2007I have got a recent backup problem that just does not make sense. The system is able to perform hourly backups of my transaction logs fine but my daily backups of the entire database which occurs every night now fails. I tried recreating my daily backup job all over again from scratch and the job still fails.
When I perform a manual backup of the database however the system works fine.

Transaction Log Backup
Sep 18, 2001I have a problem w/ my Transaction Log Backup. The backup files continues to grow and grow and grow. I have created a new Transaction Log backup through EM, but instead of appending each backup to the existing backup file, I overwrite the existing backup file. My gut feeling is that this is not right. If it isn't, then how can I continue to backup my TL's w/o having the file growing at an astronomical pace?
I would appreciate your help

I have a database with a primary datafile and a transaction logfile.
I have backup of the database and transaction log backups upto an hour before failure. But I also want to recover one hour data which is in the transaction log.
I have lost my primary datafile.
Is there a way to recover ?
How do I backup the transaction log before starting restore ?
Thanks,
