Hi,
We have a daily log restore to a secondary database. For one reason or another, we have problems getting all the user connections to be automatically disconnected before the restore starts and so sometimes we get the restore failing with the error 1010 "could not get exclusive access to the database".
The weird thing is, the restore log attempts to start at 9.30pm, but it takes all the way until 4.15am before the job actually fails. It seems that redgate doesn't realize for 7 hours that it can't start the restore.
Why does it take so long for it to report a failure?
It's kind of a bummer because if it failed within 20mins of starting, I would still be awake to manually restart it!
Any thoughts? I'm actually using SQL Backup 6.5 (sorry i know this is the SQL 7 forum - couldn't see one for 6.5).
Thanks,
Reinis
