RE: Compression Switch Not Being Honored

The compression rate is calculated on the actual amount of data stored in the backup files compared to the database size. The compression rate of 35% probably indicates that your database files have about 35% unused space, which SQL Server did not need to back up.

Does anyone know what causes this, on online forums they all say I must log a call with redgate software.

I also can't seem to find a network or san issue causing this.

Please help

i would like to know weather did you got time to check on my query?


So sorry for delay- I have been away. I did verify the instructions I gave and found they work well because the agent ensure everything runs in the correct sequence.

what is the purpose of re-running a backup right after having shrunk down the log file like rafiqahmeds was asking?


I think the strategy here is:

1. Ensure you always have a back-up
2. Take extra step to create an 'efficient' back-up- one that has no redundant information in.

The extra step is not essential but if ever the backup needs to be transported- you've got the absolute minimal size of backup handy.

Its quite an unusual strategy since step 2 is not usually necessary but it can be very smart in the use case mentioned (transportation of file).

help on msg: "error mapping to memory mapped file"

Very new to SQL Backup Pro... search docs and asking question now in forums before using support. Appreciate any insight.

The tree of servers has just one with red x

Installed GUI on aging SQL2005/W2003 Enterprise and tried registering, importing but no joy... yet Smile

Thank you!

Could you please locate the SQL Backup Agent service in Windows Services, and see if it's started? If not, could you try to start it and see what happens?

If it does not start, try using a startup account that is an Administrator on the machine. Will the service start then?

SQL Backup Agent located and running without event log error. Running with local services; Double checked by trying to run as administrator... still same message "error mapping to memory mapped file".

Also tried with Hyperbac service turned off.

The problem seems to be that your SQL Server process has very little free memory left, and the largest contiguous block of free memory is only 983040 bytes. That's why SQL Server is raising the error 'Not enough storage is available to process this command.'.

If possible, try restarting the SQL Server instance to reset the memory allocations, and try running the backup. Then you could run sqbmemory periodically to try and identify which process in SQL Server is taking up all the memory.

TDE Encryption and Backups

I am trying to use TDE encryption at the database level in SQL Server. Of course, with encryption, the backups are not compressed. Can SQL Backup handle the encrypted data in the database? Like by decrypting it, compressing it and then encrypting it again?

No, that's not possible.

Add a DR server to existing Log Shipping job

$

I'm trying to establish a DR server in AWS. The primary server already has a log shipping job that I set up for it that ships the logs to a DR server that exists in a separate network. I'm wondering if it's possible to "add" this new DR server to the log shipping job that already exists. Essentially, all it would need to do is be able to replay the same transaction logs that the shipping generates. The major difference would be that the logs would need to be copied to an additional location.

If this isn't possible, how does one go about adding a second DR server for log shipping? Can you only have one per database?

Do you have any news about the SQL Server 2014 compatibility?

On the documentation page for requirements I have seen no update since april 2014 and SQL Server 2014 is still missing in the list of supported SQL Server.

We're working on this now, and hope to ship in early Q3.

Server Component Installation Failed - exit code 4

Win8.1 Pro, SB 7.6.0.36, SQL Server 2014 Enterprise and Express (with ADV) on the machine.

Uninstalled server components because the UI complained of a problem with a server dll.

Attempted to install from the UI and the message below was emitted.

I clicked the "Details" link but no dice, so went to the page manually.

There is no exit code 4 documented, so I'm clueless what to do next...

Help, please.

BTW: All I want to do is deactivate the license so I can use it on a QA server...
