Any insight? My backups are pretty much useless at this point.

Here's the error in detail.

Could you please run this query on the instance where the backup was taken?

Code:
SELECT d.physical_device_name
FROM msdb..backupset a
INNER JOIN msdb..backupset b ON a.database_backup_lsn = b.checkpoint_lsn
INNER JOIN msdb..backupmediafamily c ON a.media_set_id = c.media_set_id
INNER JOIN msdb..backupmediafamily d ON b.media_set_id = d.media_set_id
WHERE c.physical_device_name LIKE '%DIFF_Onyx_20130116_023012.sqb'

This query should tell you the full backup set that the differential backup requires.

I got this msg during the backup operations! - someone let me know why it is happening and where I'm doing wrong while my user that is connected to he SQL Server is in sysAdmin role and it is windows user in the Administrators Group. Normal BCK with SSMS are performing with no problems. I have permission to Read'n'Write everything in my Server.

Any way to avoid this failed operation!?

Could you please check if the SQL Backup Agent service startup account has the SQL Server sysadmin fixed server role assigned to it?

Full/Differential Backups extremely slow

Hi,

Our Full and Differential backups have become extremely slow.
Backing up over 1400 databases takes over 12 hours or longer.
Using SQL Backup 7.2.1.4.

Does SQL Backup start choking with a large number of databases in an Instance?

Thanks.

Here's the backup command:

EXECUTE master..sqlbackup '-SQL "BACKUP DATABASES EXCLUDE [tempdb] TO DISK = ''\\prod.ent\proddfs\DBBackupFolders\backup_sql_db07\Backup_SQL\<AUTO>.sqb'' WITH ERASEFILES = 3b, MAILTO_ONERRORONLY = ''sqlalerts@bbbbb.com'', CHECKSUM, DISKRETRYINTERVAL = 30, DISKRETRYCOUNT = 10, COMPRESSION = 4"'

Thanks for your help.

The bottleneck is probably the ERASEFILES option. You could check if that is the case by omitting this option once and see if the backup completes faster.

If it is indeed the ERASEFILES option that's causing the slowdown, it's because:

1. the backups for all 1400 databases are stored in the same folder, on a network share. As there are 3 backup sets of each database at any one time, that's 4200 files that SQL Backup needs to check every time it backs up a database, to determine which backup file to delete. It needs to read the header of each file to match the database and backup type.

2. the files are stored on a network share. That makes reading the header of 4200 files, 1400 times (once for each database), even slower.

What you could try doing is to separate each database's backup file into their own folder using the <DATABASE> tag e.g.

Code:
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "BACKUP ... TO DISK = [\\prod.ent\proddfs\DBBackupFolders\backup_sql_db07\Backup_SQL\<DATABASE>\<AUTO>.sqb] ...

In this way, SQL Backup only needs to read the header of 4 files each time, to determine which backup sets to delete.

Thanks Peter.

Good idea. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok, I had a chance to try again. The restore is only 2 files, a full backup from sunday and last nights diff. Here's the error and the results of the query you wanted me to run with the current diff.

Seems that veeam is causing all kinds of problems on our servers.

RE: Click on server name, green circle spins forever

This is an old thread, but I have the same kind of situation with one of our servers that has 86 databases on it. If I close and reopen SQL Backup UI a couple of times it eventually displays the activity history, but it takes a while. It seems like maybe it should display the top 100 records quickly, then try to load the rest in the background or something.

Any news on this?

It's not really about the amount of backup history as it is the process of creating "timeline" objects.

The best advice I give customers is to disable the timeline - that will leave you with the backup history, but the graphical display showing the times backups are predicted to run will not be populated.

You can create the registry key (the final bit should be a DWORD)
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Red Gate\SQLBackup\Client\DisableTimelineItemRequests

and setting the value to "1"

Thanks for the prompt response. I will try that when I get a chance.

I have to say that does seem a slightly heavy-handed approach. That basically disables part of the selling points of SQL Backup. To check if everything succeeded, I have to click on each server seperately and look for any failures - which requires some scrolling for the servers I have 15min transaction log backups on (unless there is another way to look at all the backup history at once that I don't know of). Also, the first page of the timeline actually displays quickly (sometimes) but the activity doesn't load. Is the whole timeline attempting to load or something? The other servers only load a day or two initially as well but their activity history shows up quickly.

Thanks,

Reinis

hi this is Hedward Marsh, i am a beginner to SQL i want to know more information about a SQL i have searched in google i found this website this website contains lots of information about SQL controls, backups etc this site contains very useful information thanks for posting

DB Restore Status Remains

$

Using SQL Backup 7.2.1.4

Restored database from a backup file from another with "Overwrite existing database" option and "Kill any existing connections to the database" checked.

Anyway, it's a big database, but the restore has been running for 2 days now. And the status is still in Restoring ...

When I look at Activity History tab below, it says Successful; and when I double click the history, it says "There are no errors or warnings associated with this restore".

This is the final line of the Activity Log
1/28/2013 9:21:42 AM: SQL Backup process ended.

But the status is still in Restoring... and I cannot connect to it using SSMS2008. I am getting the following error

Msg 927, Level 14, State 2, Line 5
Database 'abc' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.

Edit: Have since restarted SQL Backup Agent service on the server. Didn't help ...

How do I fix this issue?
