Checkpoint process never ending in the background SPID

  • Have anyone encountered this before?

    One of the Background spid is showing as a CHECKPOINT status and never clears out. Due to this, our backups (Full, Differential, logs) are hanged in between and never completed. If we try to run a kill statements against our backups spid, that kill statement never completes and Halt in between.

    Below is the only high resource statement I can see running in background.

    13 BACKGROUND sa . .userdatbase CHECKPOINT 4245251024206/10 19:45:24

    Can anyone suggest me, how to clear this background spid of checkpoint without restarting the SQL Server? or suggest any other way to run our backups?

    Thanks,

    AB

  • Anyone??

  • Yes I did; Manual checkpoint completed successfully within less than a second. That background process still there. Lets see if SQL Server clears it out by tomorrow or so.
