Backup Device Reinitialised in mid procedure, not as specified, no error message

  • It's not something I've run into. Can you post the specific error message, if any?

    Is there any chance a different process is also calling the log backup procedure?

  • Hiya,

    No error message at all, either in output from the proc, SQL Server error log, or Server event logs. Scary! Another process grabbing the device - as was the case with McAfee - seems the most likely but so far I can't spot it. I've double checked the folder is excluded from antivirus scans, checked backup logs, checked SQL Agent and Task Scheduler for simultaneous jobs - but so far nothing.

    Cheers

  • This problem cleared; re-enabling the McAfee EPO agent seemed to be the crucial move.
