Full Backups Quit Working

  • Hi Folks

    using SSMS, I have user full backups scheduled to run everynight at 12:00 am

    as of 9-30-09 they stopped working for some reason

    they have been working since 7-9-2009 when i set the jobs up

    there are no errors anywhere that i can find

    there are no entries in the Application events

    there are no entries for them under "View History"

    my diff backups and trans backups are still working

    does anyone know where i can look to see what has happened to my full backup jobs ?

    Thanks

    jim

  • Is the job enabled AND the schedule enabled ?

  • Hi homebrew01

    wish it were that simple

    Recurring and enabled every day of every week at 11:00pm

    Thank

    Jim

  • While you are figuring it out, be sure to create a new job to do the backups.

  • Not sure of the issue, but it looks like the package might have issues. If this is a maintenance plan, I'd recreate it. Simple enough to do. Can you open the plan?

    Or restore from an msdb backup to a new database and copy it out.

  • Or even re-save it as-is and see if that fixes it.

  • Hi Guys

    thanks for the advice

    I am able to modify the original maint plan and save it

    I am going to try and execute it manually from SSMS and see if it now works

    if not, i really hate to re-create it as I put a lot of effort into it with T-SQL statements and notifications

    How do I copy a maint plan out of an existing database or a copy of the database ?

    Thanks

    Jim

  • FYI

    I finally figured out the problem when i ran the Maint Plan manually. Gave me a better message:

    TITLE: Execute Maintenance Plan

    ------------------------------

    Execution failed. See the maintenance plan and SQL Server Agent job history logs for details.

    ------------------------------

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

    An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

    (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

    ------------------------------

    SQLServerAgent Error: Request to run job MP-UserDB-Backup-Full.Subplan_1

    (from User NSAB-SS80-SQL-N\lladmin)

    refused because the job is already running from a request by Schedule 8

    (MP-UserDB-Backup-Full.Subplan_1).

    (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 22022)

    why it was still runing from 9-30, i am not sure, but once i cancelled it, i was able to run the Maint Plan

    Thanks for all your input

  • Hi Folks

    I thought I had resolved this 0xC001000A issue but I am still getting SQL Agent Error

    even though the Plan finishes and does my backups, so i do not understand what is going on

    if someone has had this issue, i would appreciate some assistance.

    The history on the plan show successful

    The report shows success

    The SQl Agent show Fail

    How do I copy a maint plan out of an existing database or a copy of the database ?

    You open the maintenance plan (modify) and then open a new maintenance at the same time. You should be able to copy objects between the current modified one and the new one. Be careful to check your paths and settings, sometimes it will reset some things (checked items, file paths, etc).

  • That seems to work but is there anyway to copy the schedule as well

    Thanks

    Jim

    Not that I am aware of, you would just have to do that manually.

  • Thanks Shawn

  • Hi Shawn

    I made a copy of the maint plan that was having issues as you suggested and fixed the schedule

    took me a while to straighten out all the constraint lines as they are a mess after you do a copy

    it looks like the copying into a new plan may fixed the initial problem

    thanks for the tip

    Jim
