Trying to backup log on High Availability Server

  • Hi,

    I am using H/A SQL2014A.

    I am looking for a way to backup my listener from my main server.

    I have tried creating a linked server with readonly intent. But when I can't seem to get my syntax to work:

    select * from openquery([SQLNODEB\SQL2014A],'BACKUP LOG [pec_prod] TO DISK = N''nul'' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT,

    NAME = N''pec_prod-Full Database Backup'', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10

    ')

    The above gives the error:

    Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 46

    Cannot process the object "BACKUP LOG [pec_prod] TO DISK = N'nul' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT,

    NAME = N'pec_prod-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10

    ". The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "SQLNODEB\SQL2014A" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions on that object.

    I am open to any suggestions on how to execute the backup log from the primary. I need to be able to execute the backup log from script. I tried it in an SSIS package but it gave me the "THe Database is currently in High Avail and inaccessible". So, I'm trying to get it to run as a job..but willing to change it to whatever works.

  • are you using Alwayson availability groups?

    Are you attempting to backup the log on a secondary database?

    Yes and yes

    I am looking for a way to backup the secondary log via a script, job, package.
