FCS DB backup failed w/error: "couldn't connect to database "template1"

Hi,
I am testing two different FCS systems (on two different machines, the same config).
I wanted to backup FCS on one machine manually and it was not possible. I tried to do the same on the second machine and it was also not possible. I checked logs for automatic backup on both machines and everything worked until 22nd of April.
I am not sure if I did download some update, but I am sure I didn't change anything on both machines nor FCS settings.
I got this error message when I tried to backup:
*Backup failed: pg_dumpall exited with code 1.*
*Checking for other backup processes...*
*Starting database backup to path '/Volumes/ProxyA/FCSBackups/Final Cut Server DB Backup on fcserver-1 at 2009-04-23 0000.zip'...*
*pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": could not connect to server: Connection refused*
*Is the server running locally and accepting*
*connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5433"?*
Both systems work normally. I "just" can't backup the DB.
What happened ?
Thank you.

Hi Sam,
Sometimes it is only because you have not set the environment correctly (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID).
Is your TNSNAMES.ORA correct?
If you do a "ps -ef |grep oracle" you should get a list of processes. Make sure you see PMON and SMON processes as well as the LSNR processes.
If you don't see the LSNR processes start the listener.
If this don't help try to start the DB manually and check with tsnping, otherwise come back again with mor info.
regards
Wolfgang

  • Backup failed with Error: (-50) Creating Directory

    Repeats ad nauseum.
    This is backing up to a second internal drive that is an exact duplicate (in terms of HD model and size).
    Does anyone know what Error -50 means? Lack of permissions? Invalid name (doesn't seem like it)?

    Hi Glenn,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Nope, it's not listed. The only thing listed is my Time Machine volume.
    After a reboot, Time Machine seems to be working. It's making backups on schedule and the logs look good, not reporting any strangeness.
    A bit bummed about these phantom errors that go away on reboot. I'll keep on eye on the error/reboot frequency.

  • Backup failed with error: 11 -Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying

    Like many of you, I was unlucky to get the famous TimeMachine error message: "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk". I started to get as much help as I could from Google and all your forum posts.
    Until recently I could not get an easy answer and it seemed that various people had success by:
    - renaming their machine to remove say extraneous characters (such as apostrophe)
    - delete the last "in progress" backup
    - reset the TM
    - etc.
    I did all of that plus reformatting my new WD HDD but nothing changed. After 2 days of frustration with this piece of software (Time Machine), the good news for me is that I can consistently reproduce the error as well succeed in performing a backup. The solution for me seems to make sure that I +*do not have a source directory structure deeper than 15 levels*+. As soon as I have a file that is 16 levels deep from the root of the HDD that I try to backup, I get this error:
    +*Error: (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying /Volumes/<HDD to Backup>/<Deep Directory Structure>... to*+
    +*/Volumes/<Your TM Drive>/Backups.backupdb/<Your Machine>/<Timestamp>.inProgress/<AutoGenerated-GUID>/<HDD to Backup>/<Deep Directory Structure>...*+
    +*Copy stage failed with error:11*+
    +*Backup failed with error: 11*+
    The Console app shows the system log with the path to the file that failed during backup. I tried to make the pathname shorter than 255 characters to make sure this is not an 8bit limitation of some string length in the code. Even if I have a path shorter than 255 characters, TM fails with the above error when the source files are at least 16 levels deep in the directory structure.
    What is most frustrating about this is not the careless and uninformative error message or this apparently non-sense limitation of 15 levels - it might be something historical in Apple's code - but the lack of documentation. In the absence of proper logging and error handling in this piece of code, wouldn't be nice to have some explanation from Apple with regards to what this error #11 means or perhaps what caused this "Error (-41) SrcErr:NO Copying"? I guess most of us would be just fine to know that as per release notes, Apple has this limitation of 15 levels for the source directory structure.

    Regardless if this is a general problem or not, does anyone know of any documentation/release notes for common/generic TM error codes? That would be helpful.
    Yeah, many of us would love it! But no such thing exists, at least not that us mere mortals can find.
    There might be another variable that I don't understand right now but at least it is consistent.
    Could it be something funky in the name of one of the folders? Or could the folder object itself be corrupt? Or have some odd extended attribute?

  • Backups failing with error 19: the backup disk could not be resolved, or there was a problem mounting it

    Hello all,
    Doubt this issue relates to a recent and ugly issue but sharing anyways (resolved thanks to a user here: LaPastenague)
    Time Capsule won't backup if Modem (Motorola SB6121) attached
    This was on Feb 10th resolved. Few days later I upgraded to Yosemite.  Backups were working fine since.  
    Yesterday I happen to notice my last backup was 5 days ago.  I looked in the console logs and saw:
    2/25/15 3:55:06.127 PM com.apple.backupd[2777]: Attempting to mount network destination URL: afp://Paul;AUTH=SRP@Time%20Capsule._afpovertcp._tcp.local./Data

    I called Apple.  Their front line was clueless. He suggested resetting the TC (latest "tower" model btw") which then a backup kicked off YEAH
    But the next hour it failed
    Called Apple again, this time to Sr Advisor.  He suggested factory reset of the TC and set up again.  Also first backup worked then rest failed
    Third call to Apple useless also.  He was asking questions I didn't feel relevant.  He also was asking me to reset the TC which I told him was done 2 hours prior. He asked me to reboot which I could NOT at that time.
    I begged him to collect data to submit to engineering, which will take days to get a reply.
    So I thought I would throw this out to the community....
    TC Is NEW (replaced from last issue).  Mac is 8 months old (iMac 27"), Os is Yosemite,  TC also new (latest model)
    Thanks...

    Yosemite is problematic on two fronts.. Networking and Time Machine.. so the combo of doing both with a Time Capsule is like bugs on bugs.
    Here is my standard list.. but your problem maybe difficult to resolve.. and my suggestion is simple.. until Apple get their act together and fix TM.. buy Carbon Copy Cloner and use that for your backup. It is solid and reliable.. even better if you use USB drive plugged into the computer and do a bootable clone.. because then you have a backup that is able to be tested for full functionality 2min after the end of the backup.
    This also starts from a factory reset.. but the reason for it is to change the configuration which is much more easily handled with factory reset to begin.. the instructions are there.. because this is my standard reply.. this is not uncommon!!
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
    Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the Mac itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore

  • What to do about Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only

    This is a weird story. My wife has a PowerBook G4/1.33 GHz that she uses in clamshell mode with a 20" Cinema Display. One day under OS X 10.5.6, her Time Machine backups (to a networked 500 GB Time Capsule) failed with the error: Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only. So I upgraded her to 10.5.7 and erased the sparseimage file, starting a new Time Machine backup. And it just happened again. Any idea how this sort of problem arises? My wife was doing something at her computer when the Time Machine error occurred.
    Please don't advise us to upgrade to 10.5.8, because her PowerBook freezes not infrequently with any OS later than 10.5.6, and I was just about to downgrade her from 10.5.7 to 10.5.6.

    Try repairing the sparse bundle, per #A5 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    I've tried this before, but it can't be repaired, because it can't be mounted.

    One possibility is, the HD in the Time Capsule is beginning to fail (all HDs fail, sooner or later).
    I'm backing up to my own sparseimage bundle just fine.

    Those two things may be related. Whatever's going wrong may very well be what's corrupting the backups.
    I'd recommend finding out what's wrong with the Powerbook. It's impossible to tell, of course, but that may be the root of the problem.
    There's a problem with PowerBooks and Cinema Displays. I've posted a lot about this. Even after a motherboard replacement, my PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz had freezes, and eventually Apple gave me a MacBook Pro, but I think there's a failure involving hardware/software design.
    If you haven't yet, I'd start by dong a +*Verify Disk+* on it's internal HD (also per #A5);
    That checks out fine.
    if there are no errors, or they're fixed and the problem continues, run the +Apple Hardware Test+ from the disc that came with the Mac. (One of the discs should have that, and instructions for running it, printed in tiny type on the label).
    If still no help, I'd be inclined to do an +Archive & Install, preserving users & settings,+ of Leopard, then download & install the appropriate "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate (change the last "8" to the desired number). Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • Time Machine Backup Failed with error: 2

    I have been doing unattended continuous backups to a 1 TB drive for about 4 months via Time Machine. In the last 2 months I have been getting a dialog box with this message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory." In each case I have gone to Disk Utility to repair the disk, and each time have had to reboot to get the Repair Disk function to work, since without a reboot, the backup disk won't unmount. After repair, the backups resume, but the frequency of the failures is beginning to worry me. I never had problems with scheduled SuperDuper backups and am thinking of returning to that approach, albeit different.
    Below is what is listed in in the system log after the backup failure. It lists "error: 2", whatever that is.
    The backup disk has over 400GB space remaining.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Betty - actually, no. Rebooting alone didn't resolve the problem. Time Machine still wouldn't resume backups.
    Once the directory was rebuilt via Disk Utility, it is up and running again, at least for a while.

  • Time Machine. Backup failed with error code: 21

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.4 mainly for the time machine backup. I'm using a DNS-323 in a RAID1 configuration as the TM backup drive. Also I have the DNS-323 connected to my Airport Extreme through the ethernet to give NAS ability to my home network.
    After much hunting around the forums I got the sparsebundle created and copied to the DNS-323 share volume. See http://www.flokru.org/2008/02/29/time-machine-backups-on-network-shares-in-leopa rd/ My thanks to flokru.
    However, TM is still not working. The console messages have the following:
    Network mountpoint /Volume/Volume_1 not owned by backupd... remounting
    Network volume mounted at /Volume/Volume11
    Failed to mount disk image /Volume/Volume1_1/MacBook001b6334c307.sparebundle
    Backup failed with error: 21
    It would appear this error lies in the way TM is trying to mount the volume, specifically that Volume_1, the DNS-323 volume name, is not owned by TM. TM then tries to create a new volume, Volume11 and stick the sparebundle on it.
    Is there a way of making TM "own" the volume, Volume_1?
    Has anybody else seen this error or better yet, got a fix for it?

    James,

    Is there a way of making TM "own" the volume, Volume_1?
    Actually, it is not TMs failure to mount the volume that is causing your failure to backup. I have received the same Console message using a Time Capsule. However, Time Machines' attempt to 'remount' the volume always succeeds and the backup goes through. That appears not to be your experience, but it is NOT because the volume is not being mounted. It is.
    *Mount Point Conflict (TMDisk-1)*
    NOTE: the following distinguishes “network drive” (the physical hard disk) from “disk image” (the sparsebundle file TM uses to backup to).
    First of all, I am convinced that the second mount point that is created (in your case Volume11) is due to the fact that you already had the network drive mounted on your desktop at the time of the attempted backup. Was that the case?
    When you manually mount a network drive the system creates a mount point in the /Volumes folder (Let’s call it TMDisk ). While that exists any attempt by Time Machine to mount the same disk will created a second mount point ( TMDisk-1 )
    Nevertheless, as I have observed, this doesn't seem to prevent backups from taking place successfully, at least on the Time Capsule. And according to your Console logs it appears that your volume is being ‘remounted’ successfully.
    *”The Backup Disk Image Could Not Be Mounted”*
    The real issue is Time Machines' failure to mount the disk image (sparsebundle) contained on your network drive.
    +Failed to mount disk image /Volume/Volume1_1/MacBook001b6334c307.sparebundle+
    +Backup failed with error: 21+
    More often than not this is due to having the Time Machine backup disk image (sparsebundle) mounted on your desktop during a backup attempt.
    Eject the backup disk image (sparsebundle) by either clicking the little Eject icon to the right of the disk image in the Finders’ Sidebar, or Ctrl-Click the drive icon on the desktop and select “Eject” from the contextual menu. Now try backing up again or launching Time Machine to view previous backups.
    For more information, see an article on this here:
    [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1715977]
    Alternatively, a backup disk image can fail to mount if there is a problem with your computer name.
    *Proper Computer Name* #
    Make sure your computer has a proper name. Go to System Preferences --> Sharing. Time Machine needs to differentiate your computer from others on your network (i.e. "Bills MacBook" or "Office iMac"). If the "Computer Name" field is blank, create a name. Realize that if this step is necessary, you will likely have to start the Time Machine backup process over again and do another full initial backup.
    According to THIS article [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1760], Time Machine may experience problems if your computer name includes certain characters. Make sure the computer name only includes ASCII characters from the following set.
    (0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
    Once a change in the computer name occurs, you should stop and restart Sharing on the affected computer. Uncheck and then recheck Sharing in the Services list on the left.
    Let me know if any of this helps.
    Cheers!

  • Time Machine Backups Failing w/ Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES

    Machine History: 
    2008 iMac
    2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo
    4 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Version 10.7.5 OSX
    External G-Drive 500 GB HD connected via Firewire.
    Late yesterday my iMac started acting crazy.  On reboot the machine did not come back up and was hung up on the Apple Logo.  The circular progress meter was spinning and the system would not boot into the OS.  At this point I started the system with the command key and R to get to the ulitlity menu.  At this point I initiated a full system restore back to a backup dated June 10th 2013.  The restore ran clean with no errors and the system came back up.  At this point I wiped out my G-Drive so that I could take a full backup of the system.  I partitioned the G-Drive 400 GB for Time Machine and 100 GB to manually backup photos and other files.  I created the partition and manually backup family photos since it seems that at times I've added photos into iPhoto and they don't get added into the backup sets. 
    At this point I noticed that the Spotlight Indexing job was running in the background.  The same time the Time Machine Full backup was running and initated and I'm not sure what happend.  I recieved a generic error stating that the backup could not be completed at this time.  Backups to disk will not run and recieve the same error.  It appears that there are a ton of files on my mac HD that have this Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES error.  I've tried a few things:
    Using Terminal to mv or cp the files locally on the mac HD.  This fails with I/O Errors
    Using Terminal to mv or cp the files to the backup HD connected via FireWire.  That fails with I/O Errors.
    I've confirmed that the files are readable by the application.  iMovie in this case.  I was able to play the video content.  So I belive that the files are in fact ok and good. 
    I've manually ran a full reindexing of spotlight.  I suspected that the indexing was out of sync and that Time Machine was having a hard time with the metadata.
    I've also confirmed that JPG file had this error in the /var/logs/system.log.  I was able to open the JPG with preview and iPhoto with no issues.  But, I can not copy or move the file to any locations on either the HD or the Backup HD. 
    Permissions on the files are rw-r-r.  In another case I changed them to rw-rw-rw and that still did not make a difference as I would have expected. 
    My fear is that my Mac HD is getting ready to take a DUMP literally.  Most of the stuff on the machine I don't care about however I do care about the family photo's and videos.  To this point I've been able to manually backup my photos to the external disk.  I have not yet backed up my videos.  Starting to get stressed about that.  I was about to take the PC in to Apple Care at the local store but wanted to disucss here as well.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I too am having multiple problems with time machine for a couple of weeks now, however this is not my first backup. I have been using TM for over 2 years, and these are new problems. This is the last error message:

    Anyone have any idea what this error means, or how to fix it?

    Check the formatting and partitioning for your Time Machine disk. Launch Disk Utility from the dock or from the Applications > Utilities folder. Click on the upper icon for your Time Machine disk in the left window and the partition type will show on the bottom of the Disk Utility window. It should be GUID for Intel Macs and Apple Partition Map for PPC Macs.

    Hi,
    My time capsule backups have been failing for the last few weeks, each time the same error message. I thought it might be a firmware problem but my wife's iBook still performs backups on the same OS (snow leopard).
    Any ideas what is causing this?
    Thanks
    Guy

    These might indicate a problem with your Time Capsule, but it's not what's causing this failure (see below). If you continue to see more than one per backup attempt, you might try renaming things per #C9 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum; and also the things in #D2 there.

    Time Machine is having a problem with that application. If it's something you don't need, delete it and try again. Otherwise, exclude it from Time Machine temporarily, per the green box in #C3 of the Troubleshooting Tip. As explained below that box, if you get a similar message again, try the things in the pink box.

  • TM Backup failed with error: 11 -  when copying Movie, image, music files

    TM giving backup errors (for a long time unsolved until I read forum entry about monitoring events with Console prog.) Recently upgraded from 10.5.4 to 10.5.6 with Combo package (attempts at upgrade to 10.5.5 failed with "unknown error")
    I narrowed down to the file types listed by excluding relevant erring folders. TM backup works OK now but without Movies, Photos, Music and small number of applications that appear to fail mainly on copying an image within appl.
    Using Console with "backupd" filter on LOG FILES/system.log (while executing TM backup) gives the following 4 samples of errors:

    Regardless if this is a general problem or not, does anyone know of any documentation/release notes for common/generic TM error codes? That would be helpful.
    Yeah, many of us would love it! But no such thing exists, at least not that us mere mortals can find.
    There might be another variable that I don't understand right now but at least it is consistent.
    Could it be something funky in the name of one of the folders? Or could the folder object itself be corrupt? Or have some odd extended attribute?

    Unfortunately I know nothing about yaourt and the curl error, but you can try installing teamviewer with some other AUR helper.
    It was some problems with curl download ( 'teamveiwer' - just typo in this post). trying to change curl to wget, but it didnt workes.
    I didnt find any solution and reinstall arch(. Anyway thanks!

  • Portal not starting - Error: Couldn't connect to DB

    Hi
    I have installed a WAS ABAP 6.40 stack running on AIX 5.2 and Oracle 9.2.0.6. I then successfully installed a JAVA add-on stack. I then successfully installed a portal.
    The portal was working fine, I could successfully logon to it via the url http://<fully qualified hostname>:58400/irj (84 being my instance number)
    Now the portal no longer works. Some investigation has found that my J2EE engine is no longer starting.
    When I enter the command startsap as <sid>adm, I see the following:
    Checking BWD Database
    J2EE Database is not available via  test
    See logfile JdbcCon.log
    Below is an extract from the file /home/<sid>adm/JdbCcon.log
    Error: Couldn't connect to DB
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
    IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Also from the log file /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS84/work/std_server0.out I can see the following:
    <SAP J2EE Engine Version 6.40 PatchLevel 87289.311 is shutting down!>
    If anyone can advise, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    Sometimes it is only because you have not set the environment correctly (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID).
    Is your TNSNAMES.ORA correct?
    If you do a "ps -ef |grep oracle" you should get a list of processes. Make sure you see PMON and SMON processes as well as the LSNR processes.
    If you don't see the LSNR processes start the listener.
    If this don't help try to start the DB manually and check with tsnping, otherwise come back again with mor info.
    regards
    Wolfgang
