[ODBC Error]

  • When backup job runs we are receiving the below error and database connection closes.

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication Link Failure

  • Literally nothing to go on.

    Where are you running backup commands from?

    Look there to see what the connection settings are, etc. If necessary, fire up an Extended Events session and watch connections come in and queries start executing. That could give you the info you need to troubleshoot the problem.

  • I am guessing this is a third-party tool you are running backups from that is losing connectivity?

    At the moment I am sure the experts on this site could give you a hundred potential reasons ranging from Automatic updates to faulty network cards to Aliens. If you could give us a little more info I am sure you will get some assistance you require bud.  I am sure it will be a simple fix.
