I have a job to run every six hours to take the transaction log backup.
but the job has failed.
when viewed through view job history its giving the below error msg.
sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
I tried starting the job but its failing with the same error msg.
My application returns the following error when a SQL call is made during a transaction log backup. Cannot open database requested in login 'login_name'. Login fails.
Has anyone come accross this problem before? or maybe worked around it?
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?
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?
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?
Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:
Backup failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the satement after the current backup or file manipulation is completed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
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.
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.
I am using SQL server 2000 and I created a maintenance plan. I started the jobs manually for the first time to see if everything will do as it's supposed to do before the scheduel takes place.
The DB backup are successful. When I start the Transaction Log backup job it returns failed. But when I look on the actual server ine the default directory the transaction logs are there with the current date and time.
Why do I always get a failed message. It says in the job history - The job failed. The job was invoved by user xxxxx. The last step to run was step 1(step 1).
Does anyone have an idea why I get this message. Also it says that is notified me by net send and it never does.
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.
Had a weird error yesterday, can anybody shed any light on it.
I got the following error in a SQL 7(sp2) database. 'The log file for database 'IT2PROD' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.. Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2'
The Transaction Log has unrestricted file growth and auto grow file set and the disk has over 20gb of free space.
The only explanation I can think of is that the Log tried to extend during the hourly backup. Would this cause the above error ??? The backup file is usually about 80mb but was over 300mb when this happened.
I have a publication on Sql Server 2012 that uses transactional replication to 7 subscribers (these are a mix of Sql Server 2008R2 and Sql Server 2012). Last night I scheduled the Snapshot job to run to "re-publish" the database to the subscribers. I had a few new table to push down. Unfortunately the snapshot job became the deadlock victim. Now updates to the publisher are not being sent to the subscribers.
Short of rerunning the snapshot job, is there a way to repair the replication so the updates to the publisher are pushed to the subscribers? The "re-publish" can only be run overnight when there is very little impact to users.

I get the following error in the SQL ErrorLog file and in the Event Viewer when using a J2EE web application deployed on BEA WLS 8.1sp5 using the Weblogic JDBC Type4 XA driver with MSSQL Server 2000 SP4

A customer has reported getting the following excpetion in our logs, and I have never seen it before and wanted to see if there was any insight you could provide to understand when you throw this exception.
The process is a "purging" process- it just executes a sequence of DELETE statements that should be fairly simple (delete a number of records from a table and CHECK some constraints, no cascading), after the sequence it commits. All of this occurs on the same connection. We use c3p0 for connection pooling.
Here is the exception:

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?
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?
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 ?
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.
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.
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
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.
Hi, Can anybody help me in, When to take backup of transaction log and how to schedule it?
My database is in Full recovery mode with two log files. I am doing mass insertion, then i am getting the following error "The log file for database 'nags' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space." I have taken backup of transaction log. now also it is giving the same error.
Any suggestions how to handle to this situation, to prevent the above error.
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.
We have a couple of databases in same server, and I set up the job on SQL server agent for backup transactions, a few dbs log backup successful, but a few are always failed, no error message be given, only can check the report --- "Backup can not be performed on database 'Agrdev'. This sub task is ignored ....," I checked all db property and set up , couldn't find out what's going on. Did anyone can help me?
