Transaction Log Backup/event 208 From Job
Oct 21, 2005
hi,
newby dba.
have a maintenenace plan and job to do transactino log backup
it shows as failed with event 208 from step 1. In the sql log it just says transaction log backed up .. .no errror. There is a file from the backup too as expected ... not sure if it is the correct size etc (only 80k) how do I check that?
Saw a message on the web about quoted identifiers being off causing the maintenance proc to fail- add parameter -SupportComputedColumn to the end of the call. I have done this even though this may not be the cause.
I want to try it out to see if it works, but can I do a transaction log backup whilst users are on the database?
Any other opinions on how to get around the 208 error would be greatly apprciated.
cheers

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?

Has anyone explored a process whereby the Transaction Log would be backup up based upon a defined threshold, ie. 75% full? All the research against news group posts and SQL2000 literature seems to point to scheduling a log backup job on a periodic basis. My workflow isn't 24 hour consistant and even adjusting the interval during the day isn't a good answer when the multiple databases on a server fill their logs at different rates.

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?

Hello, 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

I 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!

Recently we migrated our environment to 2012.
We are planning to implement Xevents in all the servers in place of Trace files and everything is working fine.
Is it possible to configure Extended event to trigger a mail whenever any event (example dead lock) occurs.
I have gone through so many websites but i never find.

My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date  10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM
Log  SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM)
Source  spid
Message
Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).

Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.

I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file.
The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30
WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile'
AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message.
However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?

Hi
I have a full backup and transaction log backup strategy for my test server.
My transaction log backup is failing as some user must have run some nonlogged operation. Is there any way to find out what is causing transaction log backup to fail?
Any hint would be appreciated.

I 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

Is there a possibility to recover a database up to the point of failure ?
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,
Bala

Hi friends,
I have set up the Transaction Log backup on one server he was running fine for few hour later he failed for two times and then after full backup it is running fine.
Can any one of shed some light on this issue.
Error:
Cannot allow BACKUP LOG because file 'ZTVData' has been subjected to nonlogged updates and cannot be rolled forward. Perform a full database, or differential database, backup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 4213) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
Thank You,

I've set up 4 database maintenance plans for my databases. 1 for all system databases, and the other three for specific databases. they back up to a network drive on another computer.
The plans are set up to do complete backups every day and then transaction log backups every 15 minutes.
The complete backups work fine. They all create the backups on the network drive. The transaction log backups are only created for one of the databases though. All the others report "successful completion" but they don't actually create the backup file. I looked at the report created and it never has a step that backs up the transaction log. I compared the T-SQL code from the one transaction backup job that works to one that doesn't and all the commands are exactly the same (aside from different directories to save in to, job numbers, etc).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I've deleted the maintenance plans and recreated them to no avail. I've also created an on the side differential backup that works as well.
Any help would be appreciated

I am using ArcserveIT 2000 SQL Agent to backup my SQL Server 7.0 db. I perform a full backup (with archive on) every day. ArcserveIT backsup both database and transaction log files. 'Truncate log on chkpt' is set to False in the databases. If I don't use SQL server's backup command with trunc. log on chkpt to true, will the transaction log file ever get trimmed? Does a third party backup utility like ArcserveIT will do something similar to 'backup command' in SQL server 7.
Anyone using ArcserveIT SQL Server 7.0 Agent, please comment.
Thanks

Good afternoon,
Has anyone ever had an issue with a Transaction Log being backed up but not truncating? We’ve been having trouble with this and now have to truncate the log manually. Any information at this point will be useful. Thank you.

What is the proper way to backup a transaction log for a database whose name contains a space. (I.E. DBname = Database Name). I am trying to execute a command, but it does not like the space in the database name. I have also tried wrapping the name in single quotes and parethesis to no avail.

Hello!!I am relatively new to SQL and am having a problem. I have taken overa SQL 2000 db that did not have any backup plans scheduled for it. Icreated a maintenance plan that backs up the database every night andanother plan that backs up the system databases once a week. I ranboth these jobs successfully, but when I created a third plan tobackup the transaction log it fails with the following message:Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE42000] (Error 22029). The step failed. I then executed the followingstatement: sp_grantlogin 'NT AuthoritySystem' which did not work.I still do not understand why I can't backup the log? The databasebacks up fine with no errors so it can't be a permission thing and Icreated the job with a maintenance plan so it has to be in fullrecovery mode. Right? How do I tell? Thank you for all yourresponses!!NS

Thanks a lot for all the replies.
I'm trying to set up a job to do transaction log backup. I used the maintainence plan to create the job. the code is quite long and not very straight forward, I do not even see the BACKUP LOG .. command. Do people usually use maintainence plan for this purpose or they write their own script and then create the job?

Hi,
I have one doubt about Transaction backup. I want to take backup of highly growing database. I will take full backup every 3 days, differential backup every 1 day and transaction backup every 6 hours.
Now my question is-
When I take a transaction backup do it take backup of all transactions which are currently in progress and not committed in database?
OR What are the chances of loosing transactions which are currently running on system while I take a backup?
Thanks in advance.

We are experiencing problems with our transaction log backup. The follow error appears when we attempt the backup.
"Backup, CHECKALOC, bulk copy, SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a datbase must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup, CHECKALLOC or the file manipulation operation is completed."
We turned on "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and created an online backup. Then we turned off "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and manually saved the transaction log to tape. We thought all was well until the scheduled job to backup the transaction log to tape brought back the same error.
Any suggestions? Thank you!!
