SQL Server occasionally loses it's mind on such things.  Over the last 16 years of using SQL Server, I've given up on trying to find the reasons.  It appears to be because of spurious pips on the network when you have a waxing moon with the correct angular displacement to certain sunspots and the Red Wings are playing a home game on a rainy day but only during high tide and the coffee machine across the room is cycled. :-D</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:43:02 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jeff Moden</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Backup Failed but backup file is created</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1423768-357-1.aspx</link><description>Do you guys have any theory of what happened?</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 Mar 2013 08:41:41 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>namdinh4</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Backup Failed but backup file is created</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1423768-357-1.aspx</link><description>No, I used standard script task to to issue the command 'backup database xxx to disk ='\\yyy\xxx.bak'</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:02:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>namdinh4</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Backup Failed but backup file is created</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1423768-357-1.aspx</link><description>Hello.

BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. I know it is network related issue but the backup file (xxx.bak)  is created on directory (\\yyy).I checked the backupset table on the server, that i backed up the database from, and verified that there is no entry related to (\\yyy\xxx.bak). I think it means that the database server does not recognize this backup file (xxx.bak) on directory (\\yyy)I was doubting the integrity of the backup file, so I verify the file by using Restore Verifyonly; the result comes back: the backup file is valid.I restored the backup file (xxx.bak) to a different database, and I was successfully restore that database to different server.Here is my question:How can the backup file is created when the backup command is terminated?Thanks in advanced.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:50:59 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>namdinh4</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
