Error message while taking backup

  • Hi friends,

    Am getting below error message while taking backup using third party tool

    BackupVirtualDeviceFile::RequestDurableMedia: Flush failure on backup device 'CA_BAB_MSSQL_1c97cb0_10001_54d8b367_RDS_HISTORY_ST_1'. Operating system error 995(The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.).

    OS: Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition

    SQL :MS SQL Server 2005 SP3

    Can anyone help on this

  • Did you contact support from the 3rd party company ??

    Sometimes errors are specific to the product.

    That's quite an antique collection you got there, not certain if the backup is your real problem!

    Is the third party as (out)dated as your SQL Platform?

    OP's not the only one :crying:

    I think it's something like $25,000 per server for new SQL licensing for us. (Old server running 8 processors)

    We're a tiny company, and not sure how to convince the boss the $25,000 will give much payback.

    Can you take a backup of the database using the native BACKUP DATABASE command?

    Neither are you. I still have a SQL 2005 instance myself. We have the hardware for a new SQL 2012 instance, but finding the time is another story. You're right on the SQL licensing costs - it makes it a hard sell.

  • yes.....able to take native backups without any errr

    Then I have to agree with Homebrew - get in contact with the company who makes the backup software you're using and find out what's causing the error or if they have a bug fix. I guess the alternative is to abandon the software and use another one or native backups.
