Backup Log Command
Jan 3, 2008
Hi,
I run the follow command to backup the database log file after a full database backup.
backup log supl_pzhou2 to supl_pzhou2_log
and got the following message.
Processed 3 pages for database 'supl_pzhou2', file 'SUPL_Log' on file 2.
BACKUP LOG successfully processed 3 pages in 0.485 seconds (0.049 MB/sec).
The problem is, the log file .ldf is still the same size after the backup log command. it is 14GB.
THe datafile is only 2GB in size.
How do I write the backup log command properly so the log file can get truncated?
Thanks in advance.

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?

This is maybe a dumb question but I couldn't find a definitive answeron BOL.Looking at my backup script. If I issue a CHECKPOINT, does this trulyforce all transaction log entries to the data file? Therefore, makingit unnecessary to BACKUP log (just BACKUP database is needed).Louis

Hi there, I'm not exactly sure where to post this question, so I'll post it here.
I have 2 Windows XP machines, not part of a network domain. One of the XP machines is running SQL Server 2005 Express edition, lets call this DB machine. The other machine is just running my application - App machine. As part of my application, I want to be able to do a backup of the database.
The DB machine is also running the application. If I log into my application on the DB machine using SQL Server Authentication, and run the backup it works fine. (It's using the T-SQL BACKUP command). If it log into my application on the App machine, and try to do the backup, I'm getting an error saying that "The user is not associated with a trusted SQL connection". The same user is being used in both scenarios, and this user can update the database fine on the App machine, so it's not really a connection problem, it seems a permission problem. The SQL user I have created is a member of the db_backupoperator role for the required database.
Is anyone aware as to why I would be getting this error?

This script will read the contents of a DB backup file, and generate a restore command.
Set the value of parameter @backup_path to point to the backup file, run in Query Analyzer, cut/paste the output into another Query Analyzer window, modify as necessary, and run.
This is just a barebones script to demo how this can be done. Modify as necessary to meet your own needs.
Works in SQL 2000 and 7.0. May work in SQL 2005, but it is not tested.

How do you add a specific timestamp to a backup? For example, if the backups are going to the same drive location on disk and you want to retain 3 days worth of backups online, how do you add the timestamp to the filename to make each backup unique?
F:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackup and your user database is <xyz>_<timestamp>.bak
The user database dumps each night at 9 PM.
You want to keep 3 days of online backups.

One of my SQL Servers (SQL 2000 SP4) is reporting this error in the Maintenance Plan. But shortly after it shows this error is does successfully backup my Databases (per log history), however the plan is indicating "failure".
I have no idea how to resolve this nor why it is happening.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I couldn't find a better place...
I have a .net application that calls a TSQL command to backup the database when the user clicks a button. I would like to give the user incremental feedback on what's going on.
So I hooked into the connection's InfoMessage event.
It gets called at the end of the command, not during. I read somewhere that you're supposed to be able to add "WITH NOWAIT" to a TSQL command to have it return immediately and then use the InfoMessage for updates, but the Backup command doesn't support it.
I also set a trace on the SQL Server and told SQL Server to backup using Enterprise manager hoping to catch what it was doing special to get these commands, and didn't see anything unique.
Does anyone have suggestions? I really need to show the progress of what's going on.
Thanks!

When I execute the following transaction log backup TSQL in SSMS
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn';
I get this error:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot open backup device 'D:Database_BackupTransProductDB.trn'. Operating system error 21(The device is not ready.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
I also have a daily database backup job that puts the backup file under this directory.
D:Database_BackupData
So I changed the path to this and it still fails.
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'D:Database_BackupDataProductDB.trn';
However if I change it to this path, it works:
BACKUP LOG ProductDB
TO DISK = 'MyServerDataProductDB.trn';
This turns out to be the path I used a few weeks back when I backed up the log for the very first time. But I now wanted to store my transaction log backups in D:Database_BackupTrans.

I am running backups on SQL Sever express and I take backups via the batch file executing the TSQL as below. This works perfectly fine, I just need to be able to spool out the backup completion log. What TSQL command can I use to do that?
My batch file looks like this:
@echo off
sqlcmd -S SERVER01 -E -i H:master_scriptsTOM_FAM_log.sql
Which will the call the TOM_FAM_log.sql :
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
SET @path = 'H:BackupTOM_FAM'
[Code] ....
Usually if we schedule the backups using the maintenance plan, we can chose reporting options that can spool the result of the backup to a text file. What is the T-SQL for the spool report to a text file.
This option produces a file that writes logs with the details I posted below. I would like to do the same or similar using T-SQL in my code.
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 11.0.3000
Report was generated on "SERVER01".
Maintenance Plan: Backup logs
Duration: 00:00:00
Status: Succeeded.

I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

Hi All,
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

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

Hi. I am writing a program in C# to migrate data from a Foxpro database to an SQL Server 2005 Express database. The package is being created programmatically.

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.

Hi,
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Thanks in advance

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.

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?

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?

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...
