SQL 2012, DB backup failed because of error 9002

  • we have 10 DBs on the instance and all rests on the same drive...

    they are all of 80 MB of sizes..

    All the DBs are in SIMPLE recovery mode.

  • Can you temporarily move one of those other databases somewhere else?

    Their recovery model is irrelevant, I just want to know if you can make some space on the drive.

  • Yeah, I know their recovery models are irrelevant to mention here.

    I cannot move files right now, I need authorization again for this.

    Why am I not able to backup still, what would be this bitmap errors, I am stuck with this.

    I would like to get it fixed anyways now, to get the processes running.

  • can anyone help, what if the DB is switched from FULL to SIMPLE and SIMPLE to FULL. what happens in back end ?

    How this bitmap fixes and how it got cleared all the errors ?

    I found an article regarding this issue, the change of recovery model from simple > full and backup fixes the bitmap issue.

    I switched to full from simple and performed full backup, log backup, shrinked log file to min extent.

    now the 58 GB size got decreased.

    Again I switched back to simple recovery mode and performed full and differential backups.

    this cleared the issue and now the backup cycle runs fine.

  • That's why I suggested taking another backup in the first place. Glad it's working again.
