SQL Agent Job

  • Hello,

    One of the full back up job failed and it was triggered again. The DB's size is big so it takes couple of hrs to complete.

    My questions is ....if the running job does not finish before the scheduled time when it starts...will it fail or stop current run?

     

    Is there a way to skip just todays schedule for running job and not fail it? if yes, then that way, I can run it manually after it completes the current run...

     

     

     

     

  • If a job is currently running, an attempt to start the job will fail (it will essentially be ignored).

    Say JobA starts at 1PM and is schedule to start very hour.  If JobA is still running at 2PM, a new job is NOT started but the existing job is not cancelled either.

  • Btw:

    Are you using compressed backups?

    Do you use page compression on the data in large tables?

    What kind of backups are you performing, how big is the database, where are the backups being written to, and how long does this take?

  • It might be a good idea to take differential backups until you resolve the problem with full backups.

    You could even add it as a job step, to run only if the full backup fails.
