Restore Tlog Error

  • Dear All,

    Greetings!

    I'm trying to restore my tlog's from primary server onto a standby server by setting up schedules. But my restore sometimes fail and i tracked this error in Events log

    "SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Restore Log' (0x01C75F44C54E344FAA94AA7ACCD1E572) - Status: Failed - Invoked on: 2005-06-18 02:29:00 - Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 2 (Restore every 15 mins). The last step to run was step 1 (Restore Transaction Log every 15 mins).

    "

    Can anyone please throw light on this one?

    Warm Regards,

    Dilip

  • Were there any other errors in the SQL Server error log?  That one doesn't do us much good.  You might try to have more time between the backups and restores.

  • As you've seen this error message is useless.  In order to get a better error message try editting the job step and including an output file in the advanced tab.  This will put a much better error message into the output file you specify.

  • Thanks!

    Actually, this was coming due to overlapping restores. Im looking into this and will update u with the detailed error if it comes next time.

  • if you are having overlapping restores than typically the error was related to one of two things.

    1)  An I/O error resulting from a huge number of concurrent writes to your data disk system or from a huge number of concurrent reads from your backup device.

    or

    2)  A file locking issue if you were trying to restore multiple databases from a single backup file.  Could it be possible that you were trying to append a backupset to an existing backup file that was being restored from?  This could also result in a file locking issue.

  • Yes, the second option was causing the trouble. Thanks again.
