Transaction log backup failed message

  • Remember, these jobs run under the context of the service account running the application. That account may not have access to the file share to either delete or deposit new backup files. Look at the event log on the server you are trying to write/delete from and see if there is any additional information that you can obtain. Can you post the results from your logs?

  • Thanks for the tip Terry. I guess I just figured that if the backups were working fine (which they are), then the correct file system permissions would be set. However, I'll check into it since I haven't yet. Since you asked, here are my logs. Maybe you can understand them better than I can. Hopefully I'm not missing something incredibly obvious.

  • Not sure if it's something with 2005 but I have found I had to delete and recreate various maintenance plans as they had a tendency to fail. I see nothing in your logs to signify a security issue but it appears parameters are not being passed accordingly/ Personally, create a new maintenance plan (disabling the original), and when that is running as expected, delete the old plan.

  • Bumping thread as I'm having exact problem in my Transaction Log Backups in SQL 2005. Anyone found a solution yet?

  • Please post new questions in a new thread and include as much detail as possible. Thanks
