I have not been able to find any details about backup failures for
MSSQL 2000. I am researching the following:
1. when a backup fails at a certain point during the process does the
backup:
A. stop there having recorded some details?
B. quit without backing up any of the data it already processed?
C. skip the data it cannot read and move on?
2. Does the error log record any of the details above? For instance, if
there is a table that the backup could not write to .bak, does the
error log report exactly where the error was?
I need a way to obtain a Backup Exception 'Report' that when a backup
fails it can tell me what did not get into the .bak file. I would
prefer automatic notification. Our Oracle DBs have something setup
that can be run when a piece of the DB does not get backed up letting
the Oracle DBA know where there are issues.
Thank you,
Stephanie

Hi
1. B
2. If it is a write failure, yes it will be in the SQL Log. If it is data
corruption, it is in the SQL Log.
For a backup to fail, due to internal SQL Server problems is very very rare,
and I have not seen it on a clean database before.
Most failures are caused by running out of disk space or anti virus messing
around on the file when SQL is trying to write to it.

Hi,
Every day we perform a full database backup.
(during the night).
Since we need no "additional" backups we had the problem that the
transaction log file grows and grows.
Therefore now just after the backup we perform a backup of the transaction
log with no log.
So we free up the space in the log file. (it truncates).

Greetings,
I am seeking information related to this subject.
BOL suggests backing up the active transaction log immediately after a
failure, so that the backup can be used in a recovery scenario if necessary.
This is the relevant text from BOL "Transaction Log Backup":
----//
The transaction log backup created at 8:00 P.M. contains transaction log

I am getting a failure on the db backup job of one of my maintenance
plans. It is coming back with the generic error message of,
"sqlmaint.exe failed. (Error 22029). The step
failed."
I then checked the Database Maintenance Plan History page, but this
shows all the steps having run successfully. If I check the drives for
the actual backup files, they exist and look healthy too!

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
