Return only the Count of Database's with backup older than 24 hours.

  • I need only the count of databases that last fullbackup was older then 24 hours or null. and status is online.

    I have tried

    SELECT Count(DISTINCT msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name)

    From msdb.dbo.backupset

    where datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE()) > 1 -- or is null

    and Database_Name not in ('tempdb','ReportServerTempDB','AdventureWorksDW','AdventureWorks') --online also

    group by Database_name, backup_finish_date

    Returns many values of 1.

    Tried using where max(backup_finish_date) < datediff(day,backup_finish_date,GETDATE())

    But get the aggregate in where clause error.

    Anyone able to help me get a count of databases with backups older than 24 hours not including the samples, report service, and tempdb. I would also want to put status is online but havent gotten the above to work so havent tried to add that yet.

  • Try removing the group by completely:

    select count(distinct msdb.dbo.backupset.database_name)

    from msdb.dbo.backupset

    where datediff(day, backup_finish_date, getdate()) > 1 -- or is null

    and database_name not in ('tempdb', 'ReportServerTempDB', 'AdventureWorksDW', 'AdventureWorks') --online also

  • If this helps, I install the following procedure on all SQL Server instances I set up and create an agent job which runs the proc each morning to tell me what databases have not been backed up for a day, or not backed up at all.

    USE [master]

    GO

    /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[BackupCheckNotification] Script Date: 12/11/2014 16:36:42 ******/

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[BackupCheckNotification]

    AS

    BEGIN

    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

    -- interfering with SELECT statements.

    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    DECLARE @data AS TABLE

    (

    ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1),

    DBName NVARCHAR(128),

    LastBackupDate DATETIME

    )

    DECLARE @BackupsNotDone AS TABLE

    (

    ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1),

    DBName NVARCHAR(128),

    LastBackupDate DATETIME

    )

    DECLARE @mailBody NVARCHAR(MAX);

    DECLARE @mailSubject NVARCHAR(100);

    DECLARE @cnt INT,

    @count INT;

    DECLARE @DataRecord NVARCHAR(500);

    SET @cnt = 0;

    SET @count = 1;

    SET @mailSubject = 'Full Database Backups Failing on Server: '

    + @@SERVERNAME;

    SET @mailBody = 'The following database(s) running on ' + @@servername

    + ' have not been backed for over a day. <p>'

    INSERT INTO @data

    SELECT database_name,

    COALESCE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(25), MAX(backup_finish_date), 113),

    'Backup Not Taken')

    FROM msdb.dbo.backupset

    WHERE type = 'D'

    AND database_name IN ( SELECT name

    FROM sys.databases

    WHERE state_desc = 'ONLINE' )

    GROUP BY database_name

    UNION

    SELECT name,

    '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' AS 'Backup Not Taken'

    FROM sys.databases

    WHERE name NOT IN ( SELECT database_name

    FROM msdb.dbo.backupset

    WHERE type = 'D'

    GROUP BY database_name )

    AND name != 'TempDB'

    INSERT INTO @BackupsNotDone

    SELECT DBName,

    LastBackupDate

    FROM @data

    WHERE LastBackupDate < DATEADD(DAY, -1, GETDATE())

    SELECT @cnt = COUNT(*)

    FROM @BackupsNotDone;

    IF @cnt > 0

    BEGIN

    WHILE @count <= @cnt

    BEGIN

    SET @DataRecord = '';

    DECLARE @backupDate VARCHAR(25);

    SET @backupDate = '';

    SELECT @backupDate = CASE LastBackupDate

    WHEN '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000'

    THEN 'Never Backed Up'

    ELSE CONVERT(NVARCHAR(25), LastBackupDate, 113)

    END

    FROM @BackupsNotDone

    WHERE ID = @count;

    SELECT @DataRecord = '<b>' + DBName

    + ' </b> - Last Back Up Date: ' + @backupDate

    FROM @BackupsNotDone

    WHERE ID = @count;

    SET @mailBody = @mailBody + '

    ' + @DataRecord;

    SET @count = @count + 1;

    END

    -- Email out the notification:

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @recipients = N'mail@mail.com', -- change to valid mail address

    @subject = @mailSubject, @body = @mailBody,

    @profile_name = 'DefaultMailProfile', -- change to valid mail profile

    @body_format = HTML;

    END

    END

    Produces nice output emails like the following:

    "The following database(s) running on ServerOne\Corp have not been backed for over a day.

    master - Last Back Up Date: 07 Nov 2014 22:51:38:000

    model - Last Back Up Date: 07 Nov 2014 22:51:38:000

    msdb - Last Back Up Date: Never Backed Up"
