backup job error

  • Team,

    My backup job was running continuosly stating with error as

    BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device 'SQLBACKUP_F2381D64-154C-4F22-8B67-ED444941C3AF01'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).

  • That seems to be too generic error message..

    Have you taken a look at the SQL Server Error Log anything mentioned there?

    Was there any issue with the disk when the backup was running?

  • I found only these statements in error logs

    BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device 'SQLBACKUP_FDFC6B1C-6005-424F-8D20-43E06D0989D402'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).

  • Is it still running ?

    If you stop and re-run it what happens??

  • that looks like an error from a third party backup tool. What does their documentation say?

    Are you backing up across the network? If so, you need to make sure your network is capable of supporting SQL Server backups across the network. If not, you will get these kinds of errors also.

    Managing Transaction Logs

  • You should check to make sure the location you are backing up to has space available.

  • Does anyone know if this issue with the sqlvdi.dll would still affect SQL Server 2005 running SP3. We are seeing these error in our logs on several servers. Mainly during transaction log backups using Idera SQLsafe. Most of the time that backups still complete successfully even after getting these errors. The version of our sqlvdi.dll file is 2000.085.2312.00. There is plenty of space on disk.
