DB Engine :: Will Transaction Log Backups Not Free Up Log During Full Backups
Nov 15, 2015The 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 RelatedRestoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups
Mar 30, 2007We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?
Transaction Backups
Nov 15, 2001I 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,

Transaction Log Backups
May 9, 2001I 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?

Transaction Log Backups
Mar 13, 2008Yesterday 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.

May 30, 2002I 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).
Thanks

Failed Transaction Log Backups
Feb 6, 2000SQL 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 ?

Remote Transaction Log Backups
Jan 20, 1999Using 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
Failure Of Transaction Log Backups
Jan 14, 2002The 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,
Riley
Why Won't My Transaction Log Backups Purge
Oct 5, 2004Hi
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
Question On Transaction Log Backups
May 23, 2006New 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.

Jan 10, 2008Have 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.
db, trn
253,196 - 394,245
253,193 - 365,695
253,191 - 360,572
254,219 - 381,699
254,223 - 406,346
254,223 - 411,018
Can someone explain this to me? Am I doing something wrong or just not understanding the process correctly?
Thanks,

Differential And Transaction Log Backups
Feb 12, 2008
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!!

TFS Transaction Log Backups Failing After SQL/SP2 Applied
May 29, 2007The 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.

Transaction And Read Values
May 26, 2006Hello,
I have following situation:
1st thread: start transaction, update some values in table (with (rowlock))
2nd thread: starts select for this record.
I have tried some possibilities with SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL but noone is suitable for me. I would like during such running transaction to have possibility to read but the OLD values (last commited).
Am I able to reach this behaviour with some setting of locks, transaction level?

Apr 12, 2007I still have transactions in use mainly to set isolation levels. There are obviously no update/delete statements in them. I'm pretty sure this will still add rows to the transaction log even though there won't be any writes to the db data files. Is it still a critical best practice to use RAID 1/0 instead of RAID 5 for the logs? Looking to re-use some existing storage rather than buy new ones. Thoughts?

Sep 27, 2007Hi!
The purpose is to se history of which user updated, inserted or deleted a row in the database.
Can't seem to find any publications from microsoft on how to parse and interpret the log file.
Any documentation on how the log file is structured?
Is it possible to obtain this information through the system views
I don't want to use triggers.
Thanks
