Backup error..

  • 3041 :

    BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG [XXXXXXXX] TO DISK = N'\\XXXXXXXX\W$\LOG_BACKUP\XXXXXXXX_tlog_201206072000.TRN' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT

    This is odd as we have no N: drive on the system, yet this is a part of the routine log shipping process, any advice?

    N indicates is is NVARCHAR - you are backing up to W$

    e.g.

    declare @myvar nvarchar(100)

    set @myvar=N'somevalue'

  • the N specifies that the following string is a NVARCHAR string

    N'\\XXXXXXXX\W$\LOG_BACKUP\XXXXXXXX_tlog_201206072000.TRN'

    Your actually backing up to \\XXXXXXXX\W$\LOG_BACKUP\, not the N drive

    Edit

    Mike beat me to it again

    lol - my kung fu typing is faster than yours

  • Cheers guys, actually narrowed it down to a bunch of SPIDs (that's me being polite) doing a data migration project and using tons of exclusive latch locks, which I think are disrupting the backup jobs.

    In other words - not my fault. 🙂
