Backups failing on SQL Server 2000

  • All of the sudden, all of my backups job are failing since past 4 days. These backup jobs are in SQL Server 2000. We use SQLSafe to do the backups. The backup is acutally done through xp_ss_backup from master database.

    This is the error message:

    xp_ss_backup did not complete. An error(0,1) was encountered, please check the parameters and their values. Server instance: 100-DWICS-P-002, Database: ICS_EDI Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server 100-DWICS-P-002, Line 1 BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000). The step failed.

    Any insights on how to run this backup sucessfully will be appreicated.

    Thanks!

  • Watch which forum you post in, this is SQL2005. Anyway, check out the link below. Are these log backups or full? It appears logs based on the MS article. If it is, you'll need to do a full backup of the databases as someone did a truncate on a log backup. Possible someone switched a database from full mode to simple? Is so, exclude it from the backup routine or change it back to full mode.

  • No. The recover models is still FULL. Job is failing both on log backup as well as database backup.

    Appreciate your help on this.

    Thanks!

  • Please try running the t-sql command for backup statement(ran by sql-safe) under query analyzer manually and see what it shows in error message.
