Backup task failing

  • Hi,

    I have a backup task that isnt working, it used to but a couple of days ago stopped. I created a new version of the task and it has also reported a failure. All of the bak files have been created by the task and I can recover from them. I therefore have no idea why it is reporting a failure.

    Please see the notes below, not much to go on I know, they are usually more helpful than this:

    Many Thanks for your help,

  • I think that the error 112 is when you run out of disk space. Are the databases that failed too large to fit on your K: drive? I would definitely start here and hopefully you have a SAN where you can get more space allocated.

    If this is being driven by a maintenance plan that also deleted old backups, keep in mind that the backup occurs first, then the old one is deleted. This means that if you keep 2 days worth of backups, you need 3 times the space of a single backup space on the disk. The current backup set will complete (so 3 are present) then the oldest set is deleted, leaving only 2 days.

  • Are these native backups? What edition of SQL Server are you running? Are you using, if available, compressed backups? Where are you backing up your databases, local, SAN, NAS?

  • I think it must be a disk space issue. The cleanup wizard wasnt picking up and removing the old bak and trn files from the system. Its amazing how fast a 2TB drive fills up these days.

    Many Thanks for your help,

  • error 112 is definitely a space issue.
