We're trying to run a BizTalk backup, and it is failing with the below error:
Msg 7412, Sev 16, State 1, Line 75 : OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server " " returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000]
This was running successfully until last night. No settings have been changed, the drive it backs up onto has enough disk space, and when we run a backup on the individual database it is failing on, it works...
Any ideas?

How busy is the server during the time of failure? If there's a lot of connections, I/O or CPU utilization going on, I've seen (many times) that specific driver timeout because it can't get a connection.... running the exact same thing when the server is practically idle and it never fails.
What version of SQL?

Few articles here for investigating the issue...

Hi,
There isn't an issue with connections, CPU or I/O, we kept an eye on these during the backup and there was nothing concerning.
The backup that first failed was at midnight, when the server is quiet, so I don't think it's down to the server being busy.
The version is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1753.0 (X64)

Wait. You're using a Linked Server connection to backup a database?

The linked server is actually the same server that the databases are held on.
It isn't something that we've set up, it looks like it was done as part of the BizTalk Installation.

Are your backups native SQL backups or are they using BizTalk to backup?
January 27, 2012 at 9:35 am
We're using the BizTalk backup stored procedures

I'm reaching, but ... Does this help? http://guomingli.blogspot.com/2010/03/ole-db-provider-sqlncli-for-linked.html

Thanks for the link 🙂
Unfortunately we already have the remote query timeout value set to 0, as all of our BizTalk databases are on the same database server, so it isn't that causing the issue.

I tried calling for help, but I guess no one uses BizTalk for database backups around here. Have you tried on Microsoft's site to see if one of their peeps can help?
Or maybe tweet the link to this post with the hashtag #biztalk?
