Remote Transaction Log Backups

Jan 20, 1999

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

DB Engine :: Will Transaction Log Backups Not Free Up Log During Full Backups

Nov 15, 2015

The 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?

Remote, Automated MS SQL Backups.... ?

May 9, 2005

Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of advice about the best way to make automatic remote backups of a MS SQL server.

I currently run a dedicated windows 2003 standard server that i have complete control over, but my databases are hosted on a shared machine that i have no control on.

Is there a way to automate backups from the SQL database onto the windows machine?

Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated!

Backups Through EM On Remote Registration

Mar 1, 2005

I have installed Sql Server 2000 evaluation copy on Windows XP, which I use to monitor other sql server 2000 installations (on Windows 2000) through Enterprise manager version 8.

What has been noticed is that if you try and set up a backup job through enterprise manager you do not get the option to remove inactive transaction log entries (yes the database's use full recovery models). Also if you select the verify backup option, it is not included within the job.

This is the same if you try the above on the local instance. This is not a problem as you can use the server installations, but what I am wondering is:

1. Has anyone come across this before?
2. Is it sql server 2000 on XP?
3. Is it the evaluation copy that is causing the problem?
4. Is it none of the above but indeed a far more complex reason which will mess with my head?

As always your help / knowledge is very much appreciated.

Remote Online Backups

Mar 20, 2008

We have about 40 locations worldwide, with a typical data size of about 200 GB per location, with some up to 2 TB. Most sites have 1024 to 1536 Kb/s MPLS links, with a few 2 Mb/s and one 4.5 Mb/s. Central data center has two 45 Mb/s links.

We are looking to remote, online backups to our data center from each location. I'm wondering which products and processes have worked.

Has anybody successfully implemented remote, online backups of Windows servers across their WAN to a central data center?

Offline/remote Backups

Aug 10, 2006

Hi

What is the best way to perform daily offline/remote/off-premise backups of our websistes Sql Server 2005 database?

I've looked into using SSIS but for one reason or another am having serious problems with this. Ideally we'd like to be able connect over the internet and/or lan and pull the entire database down in one go. Our db is ~600mb so isn't major.

We used to use Sql Server 2000's DTS and this worked well, but I'm having a real hard time using SSIS to do the same so was wondering what the other options are

Many thanks

Transaction Backups

Nov 15, 2001

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,
Ken Nicholson

Transaction Log Backups

May 9, 2001

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?

Transaction Log Backups

Mar 13, 2008

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.

Reading In Transaction Log Backups With T-SQL

May 30, 2002

I 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

Barry.

Failed Transaction Log Backups

Feb 6, 2000

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 ?

Thanks,

Failure Of Transaction Log Backups

Jan 14, 2002

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,

Riley

Why Won't My Transaction Log Backups Purge

Oct 5, 2004

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

Question On Transaction Log Backups

May 23, 2006

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.

Backups And Transaction Logs

Jan 10, 2008

Have 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,
Janet

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!!

Transaction Log Backups Failing (Miserably)

Aug 1, 2000

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?

TFS Transaction Log Backups Failing After SQL/SP2 Applied

May 29, 2007

The 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.

Here's the contents of TfsTransactionLogBackup_20070308160004.txt before the SP2 application:

Backups/Restores Of Remote Hosted SQL Server To Local?

Aug 21, 2005

Is there any way to backup a remote SQL Server that is on a hosted account to a local drive? We have a web hosted account that has a SQL Server that we do not have full admin rights on, just dbo access to the data and structure. We would like to be able to do backups and restores to our local development server if possible. Perhaps vis DTS or some similar means? WE cannot use the normal backup/restore as we do not have right to these fucntions nor can we access the servers local drives directly.

Maintenance Plans Not Deleting Old Transaction Log Backups

Jan 31, 2007

I'm the dba for a large company and have setup many maintenance plans for our sql servers. One of the options I have set is to delete old backups of databases and transaction logs after 2 days. For some reason, the old database backups are being deleted, but the old transaction logs backups are not. I have them being put in the same directory. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what if any fix is available?

Logshipping Problem With Naming Transaction Log Backups

Oct 11, 2006

Hey, my logshipping is working just fine but the name of the backup file is of a concern to me. It's using the name in the format of DbName_20061011200002.trn. I know 20061011 is the date. That's fine. 2000 is supposed to be the time but it's giving the wrong time. It's supposed to be 1500 because the time right now is 3pm. And I dont know why the last 2 digits before the .trn are for. Is this something new in SQL 2005 logshipping? SQL 2000 didn't have it. Thank you.

Data Integrity Verification Once Backups Transferred To Remote Server?

Feb 18, 2015

I am thinking about moving some backups from the local machine to a remote server. Right now, I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups. The script performs checksum on the backup while it's being written on the disk. I am going to move the files using Robocopy utility. How do I check the data integrity once the backups are transferred to the remote server?

Recovery :: Log Shipping Transaction Log Backups Not Being Deleted On Primary

Oct 12, 2015

I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.

SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Device Creating Backups With A New Transaction Log For Each Day

Jun 19, 2015

Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.

Pros And Cons Of Using Transaction Replication Doing Initialization From Database Backups

Jun 27, 2007

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. Can anyone tells me how to reduce the table locks that I am getting during snapshot creation or advice on using database backups?

Remote Tables Are Not Updatable. Updatable Keyset-driven Cursors On Remote Tables Require A Transaction With The REPEATABLE_READ

May 16, 2008

Has anyone seen this error? It comes up when my app executes a select statement via linked server (from MSSQL 2000 to 2005) the second time it runs. It's basically a timed poll of tables in the remote database. It works once but the second time it executes I get the error from the remote db, it's just a select but I guess the cursor is still open so it can't run again. After the exception the select will run again, once and it just repeats. I have researched it a little and it looks like it mostly has to do with the isolation level of the transaction. Unfortunately based on the componet being used to access the database I don't beleive I have the ability to use transact SQL to call the isolation level (s) listed.

Here's the weird part though, at another site the same scenario is running fine. Same primary and remote db versions of MSSQL as well as the application and it runs fine. I guess my question is what type of setup parameters that may be defined in MSSQL 2005 for the remote database might make it behave in this manner in one instance and not the other? TIA in advance for any thoughts/assistance.

Remote Transaction On SQL Server

Jul 20, 2005

To support remote transaction on SQL Server i have configured useroptions to 16384. However if i make changes in other properties of SQLServer, user option setting reverts to its original value. I wouldlike to know 1. Is it possible to protect this setting so that changein other properties do not effect this setting? 2. What are theproperties of SQL Server that are linked with user option settings(i.e. Changes in those properties cause reverting in user options)?

Distributed Transaction Problem On Remote Server

Mar 4, 2004

I am getting a problem in executing this distributed query

CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_ec2fetch] AS

set XACT_ABORT on

begin distributed tran

select * from OPENDATASOURCE(

'SQLOLEDB',

'Data Source=[ip];User ID=[uid];Password=[pass]'

).dml.dbo.act where code like '4010101000'

commit tran

GO

When I run it with a local LAN IP it works fine, but when I use a public ip my analyzer hangs and doesnt give me any output. I am using a dedicated dialup 64kbps connection. I have tried this query without begin distributed trans and commit trans and it worked fine, may be there are extra overheads with transactions, if so let me know

As an alternate I have tried registering server with sp_addlinkedserver and then executing a query with direct server reference, but had the same problem with it.
