Author Transaction Log Backup not working
George

2002-06-22, 8:32 pm

I had setup a Database Maintenance Plan via the General
Tab on a database. I have it so it makes a Full backup
every Sunday morning and Transaction Log every hour. The
problem is that on the General Tab it shows the Last
database backup as the correct date. But the Last
transaction log backup shows as a month ago. When I look
at the SQL Server Agent|Jobs it shows the Transaction Log
Job as successful. However if I look at the View Job
History it shows all as taking only 2 seconds. If I show
step details the only thing it has listed is Check Date
and Index Linkage and then deleting old report. Except for
the time of the last backup, the Transaction Log has the
exact time as the Full Backup? Not sure if this was set
up different a month ago? But do I need to create a
separate Maintenance Plan for Full Backups and Transaction
Log Backups?

thanks

You don't necessarily need separate Maintenance Plans for
this as different jobs are created for the database backup
and the transaction log backup.
If when checking the Maintenace Plan History, you don't find
anything listed for the activity Backup transaction log for
the database, then something may not be right with the
maintenance plan. You also may want to make sure the job and
the job schedule are both enabled. You should be checking
the history through the Maintenance Plan History rather than
through the job history.

I checked through the Maintenance Plan History and it has:
Backup can not be performed on this database. This sub
task is ignored. It also shows Error Number: 0 but the
Status as Succeeded. The Job is enabled and the schedule
is running hourly.

I will try deleting the Plan and then add it back on...

You can get that error if you databae is set to simple
recovery model as this recovery model does not include
transaction logs. If you want to include transaction logs in
your recovery plan, you'd need to change the recovery model
if it's set to simple.

Deleting the Maintenance Plan and adding back on did not
resolve the problem. It still gives the error "Backup can
not be performed on this database. This sub task is
ignored". Any ideas?

Where is this setting located? I'll look around...but I
don't think I have ever seen this before.

Sorry I did not mention this earlier, but I am running SQL
7. I just did a search and found this was a new feature
added to SQL 2000...so I guess that's why I have never
seen that setting. Any other ideas?

In Enterprise Manager, check your database properties,
option tab.
In Query Analyzer, execute:
exec sp_dboption 'YourDatabase', 'trunc. log on chkpt.'

It's not really a new feature - it's the equivalent of
truncate log on checkpoint on SQL Server 7.

I executed the command

OptionName CurrentSetting
----------------------------------- --------------
trunc. log on chkpt. ON

Should this option be off?

Just checking...but did you see the post of above this one
stating I was running SQL 7?

Sorry for the web of posts.

So does having the truncate log on checkpoint CHECKED make
the recovery model simple? I will try unchecking this and
running the job again.

Sue,

Thank you so very much. I unchecked the truncate log on
checkpoint and it just succesfully made a backup of the
transaction log. Took 10 minutes. I feel much better now.

thanks,
george
