What is the statement generated?

I think you are missing some single quotes.

Try

SET @sql = '-SQL "RESTORE DATABASE ' + @databasename + ' FROM DISK = ''''\\kprod-nas03\sqlbackups\' + @sitename + ''''' WITH PASSWORD=''''fjfelejl'''' SOURCE = '''' + @DatabaseName + '''', MOVE DATAFILES TO ''''D:\SQLData'''' , MOVE LOGFILES TO ''''D:\SQLLogs'''' ,

Hi,
Can RedGate Backup restore a SQL 2012 Backup db onto SQL 2008?
We have a need of set up transactional replication via backup and restore for SQL 2012 database to SQL 2008 and currently MS backup does not support restore db onto lower version of SQL.
Thanks

I'm looking to do something like this:

Yearly backups held for 4 years

DECLARE @exitcode int
DECLARE @sqlerrorcode int
Declare @backupCMD varchar(4000) = ''

,@yearly = case when DATEPART(dayofyear, getdate()) = 1 then ', COPYTO = ''LINK NAS'', ERASEFILES = 1825, FILEOPTIONS = 5' else '' end

set @backupCMD = '-SQL "BACKUP DATABASE [MyDB] TO DISK = ''L:\Backup\<AUTO>.sqb'' WITH ERASEFILES_ATSTART = 7' +
', FILEOPTIONS = 4, CHECKSUM, DISKRETRYINTERVAL = 30, DISKRETRYCOUNT = 10, COMPRESSION = 4' +

Select @backupCMD

EXECUTE master..sqlbackup @backupCMD, @exitcode OUT, @sqlerrorcode OUT
IF (@exitcode >= 500) OR (@sqlerrorcode <> 0)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('SQL Backup failed with exit code: %d SQL error code: %d', 16, 1, @exitcode, @sqlerrorcode)
END

Is this supported? Should I approach this by a differnt means?

Issue with SQL Backup Pro jobs not honouring delete switch

In an environment using SQL Backup Pro 7.6.0.26 to perform backups over 30+ instances and 180+ DBs. We have been using the product for almost 2 years now (various versions) and have not had any issues we were not able to resolve.

This one has me stumped though.

Nothing has changed in the setup of any of the jobs however in the last two weeks, ALL of the jobs have not been honouring the ERASFILES command. A sample of the one of the jobs is as below - all of them use the same command - ERASEFILES = xx


EXECUTE master..sqlbackup '-SQL "BACKUP LOGS [xxxxxx] TO DISK = ''xxxxx\<AUTO>.sqb''
WITH ERASEFILES = 5,
MAILTO_ONERROR = ''xxxxxxxxx.com'',
PASSWORD = ''<ENCRYPTEDPASSWORD></ENCRYPTEDPASSWORD>'',
CHECKSUM, DISKRETRYINTERVAL = 30, DISKRETRYCOUNT = 10, COMPRESSION = 4, KEYSIZE = 256, THREADCOUNT = 4"'

The issue is that despite having this flag set and despite the jobs completing successfully (ie. the correct new back file being created), not all of the files that ought to meet the criteria for deletion are being removed.

A sample (with confidential details redacted) for one of the jobs shown in the example above :


SQL Backup log file 7.6.0.29

----------------------- PROCESSES COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY --------------------

14/04/2014 7:30:00 AM: BACKUP LOG [xxxx] TO VIRTUAL_DEVICE = 'SQLBACKUP_2D00135A-E6AE-4EFD-9389-25EA23D8C06F', VIRTUAL_DEVICE = 'SQLBACKUP_2D00135A-E6AE-4EFD-9389-25EA23D8C06F01', VIRTUAL_DEVICE = 'SQLBACKUP_2D00135A-E6AE-4EFD-9389-25EA23D8C06F02',

14/04/2014 7:30:04 AM: Deleting old backup file: xxxxxx.sqb

14/04/2014 7:35:16 AM: SQL Backup process ended.

14/04/2014 7:35:16 AM: Deleted local history entries older than 16/10/2013 7:35:16 AM


So you will note that is has removed some old files. However, if I look in the folder that holds these log backups, I can see that it has not removed all of the files that ought to have been removed. The circled files are a sample of those that should have been deleted.




So there is not a permissions issues - the account running the job is both able to create and delete files, no errors are appearing in log file for the jobs, and yet still, files are not being deleted.

This is causing us headaches for capacity management as we are being constantly pinged with various LUNs going over their thresholds and in some cases (where the backup files are very large) running out of space. With this many SQL instances and databases this is not something that any one of us on my team have bandwidth to be able to look at each day manually.


Can someone please help to explain why this is happening and let me know if any extra information that might help to identify what is going on here ?

Using sqb2mtf tp convert a multi file backup

As part of our DR procedures we want to start to use the Redgate option option "Split backup into multiple files". This is to reduce the size of a single backup file to make things easier when we manually copy the backups to a 3rd location. As part of out testing I now need restore this backup onto a server which does not have redgate. I've used the sqb2mtf utility to convert the seperate files from .sqb to .bak, but when I try to restore the backup using the following command:

RESTORE DATABASE [Live_Reports] FROM DISK = N'F:\MultiFile\FULL_Live_Reports_20140414_081818_01.bak', DISK = N'F:\MultiFile\FULL_Live_Reports_20140414_081818_02.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'Live_Reports' TO N'G:\MSSQL\SQL.DATA\Live_Reports.mdf', MOVE N'Live_Reports_log' TO N'E:\MSSQL.1\LOGS\Live_Reports.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO

I get the error:

Msg 3183, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE detected an error on page (1:100919) in database "Live_Reports" as read from the backup set.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

The server I have tried this on does have Redgate installed and I can sucessfully restore the .sqb files using the Redgate GUI. I have tried to running sqb2mtf and restoring twice and get the same error both times but on different pages.

Can anybody confirm if they have sucessfully converted a multi file backup from .sqb to .bak and been able to restore it.

SQL Backup can apply different retention settings to either:

- backup files found on local and network shares (ERASEFILES and ERASEFILES_REMOTE) OR
- the backup and copyto locations (ERASEFILES_PRIMARY and ERASEFILES_SECONDARY)

What you could do is set up the backup task to use the ERASEFILES option to delete old files in the primary backup folder. You can't use ERASEFILES_REMOTE nor ERASEFILES_SECONDARY as it will apply to both the 6-month and 4-year backup folders. Instead, use the standalone file deletion procedure to clean up files in those 2 folders. You would need to set up a daily SQL Agent job that runs something like this:

EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "ERASE FULL_BACKUPS FOR [mydb] FROM DISK = [folder that holds 6 months worth of backups] KEEP = 190"'
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "ERASE FULL_BACKUPS FOR [mydb] FROM DISK = [folder that holds 4 years worth of backups] KEEP = 1825"'

Another suggestion is if you back up a lot of databases, I would suggest you place the backup files in their own database-specific folder using the DATABASE tag i.e. instead of '... TO DISK = ''L:\Backup\<AUTO>.sqb'' ', use '... TO DISK = ''L:\Backup\<DATABASE>\<AUTO>.sqb''. This avoids SQL Backup having to scan all the files in a folder that holds backups from many different databases during the deletion process, thus saving disk and processing cycles and speeding up things considerably.

Two possibilities I have come across when ERASEFILES doesn't work as expected:

- the backup files password has changed, causing SQL Backup not to be able to read the header in the backup file

- de-duplication is used, causing the file attributes to change and not meet SQL Backup's expected file attributes

Thanks Pete! The former will explain the situation for us - the encryption key was changed on these files a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps this is something that ought to be noted in the UI when changing/setting an encryption key ie. if you set or change the encryption key, you will manually need to delete any back up files that used the old key because of this issue of not being able to read the headers.

And probably something in the log file that also points to the issue and thorws a warning ie. "Warning xxxx file was not able to be deleted as encryption key does match the key currently stored on the job"

Instead of first using the sqb2mtf utility, you might be better restoring all the .sqb files in a single script. To specify multiple files please refer to the section titled "FROM DISK argument" in this document. Don't forget that the script will need to invoke the SQL Backup extended stored procedure (as shown in the Examples is this document).

Version: SQL Backup Pro 7.2.1.4
Backing up a non-clustered Microsoft SQL Server 2012

I can run manual backups fine but none of the scheduled backups on jobs run. The time comes to run and the job immediately says outcome Failed. Right-clicking on the job and pressing START yields the same result.

The manual backup job is identical to the scheduled one with the exception that it is scheduled.

Where do I start?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Check the account assigned to run the job, and that it has rights to run the sqlbackup extended stored procedure.
