Author Help w/backup jobs
Ana_T

Hi,

I have a daily job programmed to backup two sets of dbs with their
respective BAK and TRN extensions.

Job 1 is executing normally creating the backup files BAK and TRN but job 2
is only creating the BAK file and not the TRN.

Both jobs were created with the db maintenance plans.

What could be possible wrong? Or where should I start looking?



Any help is appreciated.

Ana.





Here's the application's logger description:



SQL Server Scheduled Job 'Transaction Log Backup Job for DB Maintenance Plan
'DB Maintenance REGV'' (0xE61E1EABD380A84EB
F33FB1AA12D6AD9) - Status:
Failed - Invoked on: 2006-09-17 13:27:11 - Message: The job failed. The Job
was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (Step 1).





Job1:

Is it possible that the second database is set to SIMPLE recovery mode?

Hello,

As Uri pointed out the issue might be because of SIMPLE recovery mode.
Please verigy the recovery model by executing the below query.

Select databasepropertyex('
DBNAME','Recovery')

-- Replace DBname with actual dbname.

If it return SIMPLE and if the database is critical then do:-

1. Set the Recovery model to FULL.
2. DO a full database backup (.BAK) -- this is to create a new backup chain
3. Then you could try a trnasction log backup.

Thanks
Hari
