SQL 2000 Server Backup Errors
Aug 20, 2004
I am experiencing the following problem when running a backup. This process was working really fine for 3 months.
BACKUP DATABASE [DBLIVE] TO DISK = N'C:BACKUPSdblive' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'DBLIVE backup C', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
Database size 10G
Recovery Mode : Simple
Daily Backup
Error message:
Executed as user: ACC33Administrator. 10 percent backed up. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 3211) 20 percent backed up. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 3211) 30 percent backed up.

Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.

Hi!
We have a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP3 running database for Microsoft
Navision 3.7
From time we encounter problems, especially when running heavy query
procedures from Navision, with the transaction log. It's actually setup as
folows:
File properties:
File growth By percent (10)
Restrict file growth (MB) 10000
OPTIONS:
Recovery model: simple
Settings: Autoupdate statistics, Auto create statistics, Autoshrink
We get the following errors (once every 2-3 months so far):
The log file for database 'ME_Prod' is full. Back up the transaction log for
the database to free up some log space..
in between numerous abovementioned messages I have the following:
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 1 to 1. Run the
RECONFIGURE statement to install..
Could not write a CHECKPOINT record in database ID 9 because the log is out
of space.
Automatic checkpointing is disabled in database 'ME_Prod' because the log is
out of space. It will continue when the database owner successfully
checkpoints the database. Free up some space or extend the database and then
run the CHECKPOINT statement.

Our software vendors upgraded their software and our environment - and applications do not interface as they ought. The vendors do not appear to have any further ideas (to those listed below) and at this stage neither do I. It is now a week since the *upgrade* went live. Looking for new suggestions....
Full story (epic) below. Object names have been changed to protect the *innocent*.
Our organisation had 2 applications:-
appBank
appHouse
both running on the respective platforms:
Server name svrCAT:
Windows Server 2000 sp 4 / SQL Server 2000
Server name svrDOG:
Windows Server 2000 sp 4 / SQL Server 2000
Transactions were "posted" from svrDOG to svrCAT via a linked SQL Server, using login dbL1nkLogin.
dbL1nkLogin was made a user of (with relevant table permissions) of the respective databases:
dbForBank
dbForHouse
*** At this point all was working ***
Upgrading appBank to appBigBank required SQL Server 2005 (and more diskspace).
A new server was purchased:
Windows Server 2003 R2 sp 2 / SQL Server 2005 (Server name svrHORSE)
A linked server was created from the SQL instance on svrHORSE to svrDOG using login name dbL1nkLogin.
dbL1nkLogin was made a user (with relevant table permissions) on database:
dbForBigBank
Attempts to "post" transactions were "posted" from svrDOG to svrHORSE via the linked SQL Server fail with
the appBank application generating the following errors:
On first attempt:
************* FILE ERROR *************
Error Code...... 3902-
Error Message...The COMMIT TRANSACTION request has no co
.rresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION.
Table Name......** NOT APPLICABLE **

Called from 000DFA in gls396

On subsequent attempts:

* Parameters and controls within the appBank application were verified.
* Password on dbL1nkLogin was reset in the SQL instances on svrHORSE and svrDOG
* Compared the link server settings on svrHORSE to svrCAT:
Security tab: Be made using security context - Remote Logging: dbL1nkLogin / password
Server Options: Collation Compatible checked (on svrHORSE only)
Data Access checked
RPC checked
RPC Out checked
* Made dbL1nkLogin dbo on databases dbForBigBank and dbForHouse.
* Changed default database from master to dbForBigBank on svrHORSE
* Rebooted svrHORSE and svrDOG (multiple times)
* Verified that svrHORSE could ping svrDOG, and vice versa
* Using DTCping.exe, Verified that the SQL instance on svrHORSE could ping svrDOG, and vice versa
* On svrHORSE, Administrative Tools -> Component Services -> Computers has the following settings for "My Computer" Network DTC Access:
Network DTC Access - checked
Allow Remote Clients - checked
Allow Remote Administration - checked
Allow Inbound - checked
Allow Outbound - checked
No Authentication required - checked
Enable XA Transactions - checked
DTC Logon Account - NT AuthorityNetworkService
These settings were already set. My understanding of KB329332 suggest they are correct. As I could not establish the configuration date of these settings rebooted the server to ensure they'd taken effect.
* Loaded SQL Server 2000 sp4 on svrDOG (Rebooted afterwards in case services not stopped and started correctly)
srvDOG now has MDAC 2.8 sp1 (2.81.1117.6) while srvHORSE has a later version (2.82.3959)- I assume sp2. While they are not the same version, MDAC 2.8 sp2 KB 231943 advises that 2.8 sp2 is not available via the web - so I think it's the best I can do).
* Stopped and manually started MSDTC and SQL Server (via Administrative Tools - Services) in case MSDTC was not being started first.
* KB873160 suggests opening port 135 and adding msdtc.exe as an exception in the Windows Firewall. At present there is no firewall on svrHORSE - which I would assume negates this necessity (at present). In Administration Tools - Services there was a service for the firewall running. Stopping this service has no effect on this issue.
* ( The svrHORSE machine was not created from an ghosted image ).
** None of these things have resolved the issue. **
.... to be continued...

Hi all-
I setup a new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
either register a new SQL Server 2000 group within Enterprise Manager or test the new ODBC connection:
Current configuration
- MS SQL Server 2000
-Windows XP
-ODBC 3.85.1117
Errors:
I. Within SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager
Error: SQL Server connection open
II. When I test the ODBC connection:
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
TESTS FAILED!
Now here is what has me totally confused:
I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available.
Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
Thanks

In our office, about 30 clients are connected with SQL server. There are 4 to 5 database each of more than 2 gb.
There are two files of extension LDF and MDF of each database.

* Which method / software is best for taking backup?
* Is it possible to take backup while files are used by clients????
* Is it possible to split database in smaller size. because each time I have backup to entire more than 2 gb file....
* Are newer version of SQL 2000 are better than 2000? Should I use it???

Hi
I have a job which is executed via SQL agent -it attempts to backup each database..
The only problem is that it terminates about 1/2 through (not always at the same spot) - there are about 80 databases on the server
No errors are logged.. Where do I look next ?
The commands executed are as follows:
--------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @DB_Name varchar(32)
DECLARE @Backup_Path varchar(255)
DECLARE @Backup_Name varchar(255)
DECLARE DB_Cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT NAME FROM sysdatabases
OPEN DB_Cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM DB_Cursor INTO @DB_Name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
IF @DB_Name <> 'tempdb' AND @DB_Name <> 'model'
BEGIN
print '--------------------------------<< ' + @db_name + ' >>--------------------------------'
SET @Backup_Path = N'C:sql2005backupsightly' + @DB_Name + 'Daily' + '.bak'
SET @Backup_Name = @DB_Name + N' backup'
BACKUP DATABASE @DB_Name TO DISK = @Backup_Path WITH INIT
END
FETCH NEXT FROM DB_Cursor INTO @DB_Name
END
CLOSE DB_cursor
DEALLOCATE DB_cursor
print 'Finished backing up'

Hi Gurus,
I am new to SQL server and I need your advise on the following .
1. We have two SQL 7.0 Databases at a distant location and we want to move those databases to our location.
2. we plan to take the SQL backup of the databases in tape ( 4Gb and 2 Gb in size) , bring them here, restore them to SQL 2000 server.
- Is this possible , DO SQL 7.0 backups are restored on SQL 2000 without any problems ?.
Also, we plan to take log backups of the DBs at the source after the initial full backups and apply them at the target SQL 2K databases till we cut over to the Target Databases.
Ehat would be the best method of doing this? All your suggestions , pointers to real life scenarios like this, solutions are welcome.
Please let me know if you need any more informations , before suggesting any solution.
Thanks in advance
-Jay

Hi I'm an experienced programmer, but just don't have much experience with ASP or MSSQL. I inherited a website and now need to set up an automated backup system for a fairly large (40MB) MSSQL database hosted by a 3rd party provider of reasonable quality with ASP and SQL Server 2000. Let's avoid ASP.NET solutions since the website I inherited is written in "straight up" ASP (old school).
I have access to the database, login etc. I'm thinking I should combine an ASP script with the database connectivity and write daily/weekly backups to a dir on the hosting server.
Where do I begin? Tools? Examples?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hello!
I have a bug in SQL Server 2000 that I would like to discuss.
The bug is described briefly on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821334.
"The potential for inconsistency in the backup history tables backupset and backupmediafamily is resolved. This issue may cause the restore process to point to the wrong backup files."
According to my experiences the bug is extremely serious. SQL Server backup and restore operations are not fully reliable. If you have a disaster situation there is a possibility that you can not perform a restore.
Technically a media_family_id is generated in a backup operation and inserted into msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily. What could happen is that a media_family_id, that already exists in backupmediafamily, is generated.
The bug is fixed from version 8.00.0859, but only if you have an special undocumented trace flag (3003) enabled.
Here is the information that I have got from Microsoft about this trace flag.
"Trace flag 3003 changes how SQL generates media_set_id for new backup files. It will guarantee that new media_set_id values in backupset table are unique when you create a new file with your backup. This is the only place in code where TF 3003 is used so it will not impact your SQL Server operations."
I have a SQL Server with 80 databases. I have a maintenance plan with full backup every 24 hours and log backup every 5 minutes.
The error happened on my server a few times every 24 hours. I believe it's a general problem.
Best regards
Ola Hallengren

Hi All
I am using Sql Server 2000.
The database is being used since 5 years and the transaction file (mdf) has increased upto 12Gb.
We are thinking of reducing the size of the database and keeping only the data of the past 1 year. So I would like to know if there is some way of backup or export so that I can get latest 1 year data.
Thanking You All:S :S :S

Hi all,
I am using SQL Server 2000 for one of our web application system called eRoom. eRoom uses SQL Server 2000 as a database. Now I have used SQL Server 2000 Database backup features to run the 4 database backup every night at 10pm. The backup runs fine. But recently I have found that for some reason when Our server machine which is hosting eRoom and SQL Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition) is restarted, the database backup does not run anymore.
Now I have checked SQL Server settings and the settings allow SQL Server and SQL Server agent to restart both the services when the operating system starts. But still the database backup does not run when the server machine is restarted. It happened twice last week. Can anyone please help me?
Here are some information to help you understand the problem.
Backup Process Followed:
I went to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, then went to the appropriate server and then right click the Database>All Tasks> Backup Database> and then selected the backup file which is a (.BAK) file and then scheduled the database to be backed up at 10:00pm every night. I followed the same procedure for all 4 databases.
I am running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition R2
Thanks

I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?

Hi everyone I am fairly new to SQL server and need some help with creating backups. I am a little confused whether to append or overwrite my backup data when saving full, differential and transaction log backups to disk. Below is my current backup schedule.
1) A full backup every night at 2:00a.m. that overwrites my existing backup. Should this be an appended backup? Wouldn't my file keep growing? How do I manage the backup file size?
2) Differential backups every two hours that is set to append. How do I stop this file from growing? Should I be controlling the size of my backups through the backup set expiry option?
How do I incorporate transaction logs into my backup schedule and manage the size of the log? Should the log backups also be appended or overwriten?
I appreciate everyones help in advance.

Hey all-
I am working to establish a backup plan for SQL Server 2000. We are currently doing log shipping between servers.
A full backup once a week
transaction log backup every hour
We run a bulk deletion (delete * from table where date < ninetydays) which deletes 22,000 rows approximately. We are running in Full Recovery mode.
I wonder if there was anyway to improve my backup plan, preferably minimizing logging when the deletion takes place but still backup the data with log shipping.
Let me know if any of you have ideas. Thanks
Nate
