LiteSpeed Error

  • Hi,

    Has anyone come across this error when trying to restore a litespeed backup?

    SLS Error: XML returned from Engine was invalid. :

    Error Msg: (0): '2008-08-31 21:00:12' restore failed for "dbname".

    52008: Failed to uncompressing data block.RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Read on "VDI_51170ACF-4C5D-42C4-B9AE-7713EFF4C848_6" failed: 1223(The operation was canceled by the user.)

    I'm on ls version 4.8.4.00086 and the backups where done in 4.6.0.00293 (my understanding is that ls its backward compatible).

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    - Thanks

  • If you dont have a recent backup, try using the 4.6 version to restore to be on the safe side or else do a backup with the 4.8 version and then restore.

    As far the help file on 4.8 there is a list of bugs that are resolved from the previous version. See if you can locate something pertaining to this error.

    Hope this helps....

  • There are a few things that could cause this.

    - If you are restoring from a mapped drive

    - If you are restoring from a TSM backup

    - If you created a backup with a different version and a different compression level

    You could try to extract the backup file using the extractor.exe and then restoring the file using the standard RESTORE DATABASE command. I would search the Quest KB and open a support case b y emailing support@quest.com.

  • Thanks guys -- you've pointed me in the right direction. I will use the extractor to figure out if the backup is bad.

  • I am having the same issue. It appears the problem really resides in the backup. When this error happens I can fix it by redoing the backup (even though the original backup showed success). The restore then typically succeeds.

  • From my experience, this type of error usually indicates resource issue on the server. For example: SLS requires a certain amount of memory to be able to perform a backup or restore.

    Hope this helps.
