Backup With Veritas

Aug 29, 2000

I have Veritas Backup Exec. The software does a good job with the backup. However a few of my SQL 7 Databases the files are skipped even though I have told the software to lock the file. Specificaly this happens on my EPICOR Accounting Databases. Is there a command I can issue to stop the SQL server from running prior to the backup and then re-start after the backup has completed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Veritas Backup And SQL MP

Jun 8, 2008

HI All,

Bit confuse and please help to setup correct way of backup.

I got SQL Server 2000 and Veritas Backupexec 10.0

So what is your recommended way to backup SQL Servers.

1. Veritas Backup agent with Differtial (Mon-Thu) and full backup on Friday?

Set SQL recovery Model to FULL and only backup Transaction (.TRN) logs to server disk , No backup (.bak) from MP ?

or

2. Create SQL MP and backup to SQL Server DB & Logs to disk every night- full backup

Keep only 1 day worth of backup. ( not enough space)

Use veritas to backup .bak file only not using that veritas SQL Backup?



Or knowledge me with the proper method?

Veritas Database Backup

Mar 8, 2005

Anyone have experience using Veritas to backup SQL Server databases?

I just started with a client who's SQL Server froze with the CPU pegged at 99% on my first day. I think it might be related to using Veritas SQL Server component to run hot backups of the database, while the SQL Server Agent was running simultaneous independent backups. All this on a live database of course, while a user was completing a large transaction.

I advised them to disable the Veritas SQL Server backup component and let SQL Server back up its own databases. Then use Veritas just to archive SQL Server's backup files.

I think I saw a similiar issue at a previous client site that was using Veritas. Please let me know if you have prior experience in this area, and your evaluation of the quality of Veritas database backup component.

Thanks!

Veritas Backup Very Slow

Jan 28, 2004

Hi,

The last five days, the SQL Server Production backups to tape have been incredibly slow. Actually, they don't complete because they have been going on for 60 hours. Everything on the servers (clustered production environment) seems fine. Nothing untoward unusual. Any ideas what could be causing it? We're thinking of rebooting tonight.

Any help would be appreciated.

Running A SQL Backup After A Veritas Backup Job

Jun 27, 2001

I run an Operating system backup nightly using Veritas Backup exec (v8), immediatly after I run a SQL written backup job.

1. Can I use the same tape? Appending to the media that Veritas has written to?

2. How do I run the backup from cmd line from within Veritas? It has an option to "execute after backup job:"
- How do I run a SQL job from operating system?

Thanks,
AJ

SQL Server 7.0 SP2 And Veritas Backup Exec

Oct 25, 2000

I've installed SQL Server 7.0 SP2 and Backup Exec 7.3.

Backup exec doesn't start. The same effect with version 8.0 and 8.5 from Veritas Backup Exec. When i try to install MDAC 2.5 after installing Backup exec, error 90332 (?) appears. Backup exec "hangs".
When i've installed Backup exec 7.0 or 7.2 there are no problems.
(also with SQL Agent)
Does somebody know to reolve this?

Veritas Vs SQL Script?

Mar 30, 2001

Hello,
We use Veritas BE with SQL agent to backup all the company's databases. Has anyone used Veritas for SQL backups and restores, adn what are the pros/cons verses some scripting.
I've been in a few recovery situations with veritas although limited it's easy for a network analyst to restore, but I prefer scripts to restore. Our SQL shop is young and still in alot of it's development phase. I'd like to break the trend we have now and write some decent batch/sql scipts for backups?

Right now veritas backs up all our NT boxes, hence why we use it for SQL. I have scripts, but haven't implimented. Should we switch to scripts or stay with Veritas?

thanks,
AJ

Restore Of Database Via Veritas 9.1 Fails With Communication Error

May 24, 2006

We are running SQL 2000 sp4, only one user database (SAP) the database is 63 GB.
The ldf files were trashed so I went to tape to restore.
We are using veritas backup exec 9.1 sp4. Veritas is on the same server. I can restore the master db and the msdb fine. However when we attempt to restore the DEV db it runs for 2 hours and then fails with a communication error from veritas.
When we restore the master the DEV db comes up suspect as there are no files for it to attach to) so we cannot attach to it to restore, so I have deleted it and attempted to restore - same communication error. I have recreated a db named DEV with the mdf etc created to the size needed plus some to be sure, no good same behavior (behavior described below).
The job starts and it creates all the folders for the database (there are 1 MDF, 5 NDF, and 4 LDF files each in its own folder). Then it begins to create teh individual files it gets ~half way through at about an hour-hour and fifteen. During this time there are a large number of writes being performed by SQL (I assume it is creating the structures). Then it switches over to reading from tape a large number of read by beengine for another 45-1.5 hours then the job fails with the error unable to communicate with the device. I ahve noticed that once it starts reading from tape the db is gone from enterprise manager, and the mdf etc. files that were being created are now gone.

Help this has gone on for three days!!!

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.

Jan 31, 2008



Hi there

I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.

The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).


Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?

Thanks

Jane

SQL 2012 :: Error (backup Failed To Complete The Command BACKUP LOG) In Event Viewer

Aug 23, 2013

On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:

"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."

"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."

"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."

After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:

"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."

I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.

Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?

SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Running Long And Backup Threads Show Suspended

Feb 18, 2015

SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.

Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.

Can Windows 2003 Server Backup Utility Be Used To Backup A SQL 2000 Dbase

Dec 28, 2007

Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.

SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup

Jul 15, 2015

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?

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup

Nov 16, 2015

I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

Newbie Question Regarding Backup Device And Backup Foile

May 10, 2001

This is probably a simple question but I have to ask it anyway. When backing up I can backup to a file on my local drive but I also can create a device to the same location on my local drive. Is this doing the same thing. If I so desire to backup to the local drive(bear with me) what is the difference between creating a device and a file called mybackup or just choosing to backup to a file called mybackup? Should I always create a device? I know these are dumb question but....
