Full Text Catalogs

  • I am new to full text searching so this my be a simple one...

    I have ran across an issue when our automated backup process will fail for a Database with the error: "The backup of the file or filegroup 'sysft_FullTextCatalog' is not permitted because it is not online".

    What I have done to fix this is drop the catalog and re-create it.

    The issue I run in to is I will drop the catalog and when I re-create it it gives me the error: File 'sysft_FullTextCatalog' cannot be reused until after the next BACKUP LOG operation.

    I backed up the log and then tried to re-create it and it works. My question is why does it not allow you to re-create the catalog until a log backup is performed?

  • There is good explanation in BOL "Backing Up and Restoring Full-Text Catalogs"- hope this can answer your question

  • I found a Microsoft article that explains this. Thanks for the help!
