Error on transaction log backup

  • One of my customers has a database in Full Recovery Mode. When making a backup of the transaction log, SQL Server gives an error telling me that it can't be done in Simple mode.

    It's the only database with this problem. The other make backups of the logs without problems.

    I've compared the properties of these databases with the one with the problem, but there are no differences apart from the collation that's slightly different.

    Anyone an idea of how to solve this?

  • If the database has been altered from Simple to Full Recovery recently it will look like it is in Full Recovery but requires a full backup before it is truly in Full recovery. 
    Has it been altered from Simple to Full and not had a Full Backup since?

    a differential backup may also be used to start the log chain
