MSSQL 2012 Backup Timeout

Dear Microsoft Technet Team,
we have an issue regarding creating a Backup using Powershell. Each time we try backing up on special database we get into a timeout after 10 minutes (default connection timeout is as far as we know about 600 seconds). Creating a database backup using the
MSSQL Management Studio it works without any problems. Unfortunately we haven't found the option changing the default timeout. Of course on our other databases which require less time to create our backup there is no problem. We hope you may have any helping
advice. Thank you in advance. Please let us know if you need any further information.
Powershell command: sqlps Backup-SqlDatabase -Server db02 -BackupFile E:\\bacula-tmp\\backup-oewsaas.sql -Database oewsaas -Checksum
Backup-SqlDatabase : Timeout ist abgelaufen. Das Zeitlimit wurde vor dem Beenden des Vorgangs überschritten oder der Server reagiert nicht.

Hello TenPart,
thank you for you answer. I have tried this already. Unfortunately I have problems using this workaround using the InputObject parameter. In additional is there a solution to set our timeout using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? In the referenced
issue they say this is a bug, do you know if there are any bug fixes yet? Maybe you could give me a helping advice. Thank you in advance.

  • Error on Data Flow Task MSSQL 2012 Clustered "Description: The version of Lookup is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. "

    We have an SSIS package that runs on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes that is failing.  We use a job to executer the package.
    Environmental information:
    Product - Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise: Core-based Licensing (64-bit)
    Operating System - Microsoft Windows NT 6.1 (7601)
    Patform - NT x64
    Version - MSSQL Version 11.0.3349.0
    Package is set to 32 -bit.  All permissions verified.  Runs in lower environments, same MSSQL version.  All environments are clustered.  In the failing environment, all nodes are at the same service pack.  I have not verified if all
    nodes in the failing environment have SSIS installed.  Data access is installed.  We have other simpler packages that run in this environment, just not this one.  Time to ask the community for help!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi DeveloperMax,
    According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
    As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
    only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
    To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
    select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
    Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • ERP 6 EHP 3/ NW 7.0 on MSSQL 2012

    Hi All,
    As most of you know, Microsoft pulled it's mainstream support for SQL 2008 in July.
    We now need to make some decisions. Right now, we aren't ready to move to a newer EHP for ERP, so the question asked to me is, can
    ERP 6 Ehp 3 run on MSSQL 2012.
    I started looking at the PAM for ERP 6 EHP3, it doesn't list any details.
    So I looked at the PAM for NW 7.0  https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001225132009E
    This PAM includes all EHP's.
    I see support for SQL2012 on Win 2008/2012 and see note 1651862
    Our NW is 7.0 SP 17, NO EHP's.
    Note says this
    Required minimum SAP Netweaver Support Package Stacks (SPSs) for SQL Server 2012 (SAP ABAP, SAP ABAP+JAVA stacks)
    SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 - SPS 26 (SAP BASIS 26, SAP BW 28)
    Anyways else have this irritation?

    Hi Joshua,
    As per PAM, Extended planned support for MSSQL 2008 is upto 2019. You may check the Details link under MSSQL 2008 within PAM

  • Adapter Compatibility w/ MSSQL 2012 on TES 5.3.1

    Hi There,
    I was hoping if anyone has had success connecting their TES 5.3.1 master using the MSSql Adapter to MSSQL 2012.  The DB Version must be specified when creating a new Connection Definition.  Because this is required I receive the following error in the MSSqlService*.log file.
    03/06 15:25:28:842[21:MD-12]: (mem=11367216/16711680) com.tidalsoft.service.logic.ServiceException: QA_SSSQL2_AGENT verifyVersion: version mismatch: connection version = SQL Server 2008, database version = 11
    I am not surprised by this because I have specified 2008 when actually I am connecting to a 2012 instance.
    Has anyone had success doing this?  You help is greatly appreciated.

    Could you please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks
    Raghavendra Bhat

    we've got a Windows Server 2008 R2 server that has been running DPM v4.0.1920.0 since it was released in
    10/18/2012.
    we are using D2D2T
    We did have tape throughput performance issues initially, but after switching to the in-box LTO tape-drive drivers included with the operating system (instead on HP drivers), and setting several registry values associated with tape ports, we got it working.
     see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3cda9c6a-688d-4c2d-8dc0-9d04b8ea1f05/dpm-2012-not-filling-lto3-tapes?forum=dpmtapebackuprecovery
    The best advice to speed up the D2D part of the backup is to configure any antivirus software if present to not perform any real-time scanning made by the DPMRA.EXE and DRSR.EXE executables.
    Don't backup the system drive of the DPM server to tape, because there are as many junctions as you have protected volumes define, which makes the backup not work at all.
    Also, for the system being backed up D2D, 

  • Manage Server 2012 Backups from Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out if it is possible to manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation via GUI or is the CLI the only option?
    I found a few articles online that mention to use a computer management console > storage > backup (but from what I know it only works if you're connecting from a 2012 server itself)
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    We cannot manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation. Ye may need to use Remote Desktop Connection to access server 2012 from windows 8.1 workstation. In additional, we could manage server 2012 essential backups using dashboard on Windows
    8.1 workstation.

  • MSSQL 2012 Database Backup Error

    Hi,
    I getting error
    Backup failed for Server 'MY-SERVER-1', (Microsoft.Sqlserver.SmoExtended)
    Additional Information:
    System.Data.Sqlclient.SqlError:Cannot open backupdevice 'D:\Mydatabase.bak'.Operating systemerror 5(Access is denied).(Microsoft.Sqlserver.Smo)

    Can anyone plz. help .....
    Warm Regards
    Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay,
    The error message shows that you credential didn't have permission access to the folder. If you try to backupsto network drives, perform the following steps:
    The SQL Server service must be started using a domain user account to access any resources on a remote computer. Verify that the MSSQLServer service is started under a domain account that has write access to both the Windows NT Server share and its underlying
    partition (if the partition is formatted with the Windows NT file system, or NTFS).
    In Control Panel, double-click the Services icon.
    Select the MSSQLServer service and then click Startup.
    Examine the startup options for the service and verify that This Account is selected and that a valid domain account is supplied in the form Domain_Name\Domain_account (with the correct password).
    NOTE: If you changed the service to run under a domain account, you must stop and restart the MSSQLServer service.
    Verify that the account specified has write access on the Windows NT share to which you are backing up, as well as the underlying partition (if the partition is formatted as NTFS). To do this, perform the following steps:
    a. Right-click the share name in Windows NT Explorer.
    b. Click Sharing on the shortcut menu.
    c. On the Security tab, click Permissions.

    When I run vssadmin list writers after the error, the "SqlServerWriter" show a State of [11]. I can restart the service and the error clears up showing stable, but the next time I run the backup it fails again.
    From the error, it almost sounds like the path is too long. This doesn't totally make sense to me considering the database was successfully backed up before I tried to back it up as a SharePoint database.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Got the issue solved.
    DPM has issues with DNS Aliases for SQL.
    To get this issue sorted out i used the old HOSTS file to point the right name to the right SQL server.

  • Error restoring SQL 2008 R2 DB into SQL 2012: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

    I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012.  Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2.  Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008  Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
    Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
    BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
    This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2.  Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
      If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
     · The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
     · A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
     · A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
     · The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
    Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
    Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
    Example:
    BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

    Hi
    We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
    'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
    I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
    i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
    i am stumped, any advice would be great!

  • Is it possible to restore Windows server 2012 backup to another physical hardware or virtual machine?

    Hi
    I have windows server 2012 which is my domain controller. It has 2 hyper visor virtual machine that they are 2012 too. I have an additional domain controller in another location too.
    I want to know, how can I restore a bare metal or system state backup to another machine, to have a domain controller same as old one whit all the properties, rules and features.
    Thanks

    Hi Mehdi,
    Yes, it is possible to restore Windows backup to a different machine with different hardware. This article, although written for Windows Server 2008 still applies in 2012:

  • Daily Server 2012 backups to different drives

    We have a Windows 2012 server that runs AD and Hyper-V with 2 VMs. Total disk space is 2TB. We have 5x 2TB USB disks that are rotated daily from Monday to Friday. Currently I have a scheduled task that fires off a batch file with the following in it:
    wbadmin start backup -allcritical -systemstate -include:"c:" -backuptarget:E: -vssfull -quiet
    WSB backup performance is currently set to "Normal backup performance".
    The reason I went this route is because I had issues trying to get WSB to use all 5 drives in rotation through the GUI. Connecting all 5 drives at the same time when setting up the backup is just not feasible.
    When I initially configured the backup it ran fine for the first 2 weeks whereby the backups would take about 16 hours to finish which was fine (starting at 6pm and finishing around 10am the next day). For some reason now the backups are taking around 26 hours
    to finish which I don't understand as the size of the data hasn't changed much.
    I have now changed the performance to "Faster backup performance" but I'm not sure if it will work with the drives being changed daily as the comparison of say Monday's snapshot on the server will be different to the backed up data on Tuesday's drive.
    Or alternatively, if the comparison of changes is only done on the server and the differences are copied across, will it cause issues when trying to restore the backup?
    Basically what I need to achieve is:
    - The RPO is 1 day so that in the event of catastrophic failure we need to be able to restore the server completely to the previous day (obviously within reason of when the catastrophe occurred).
    - We need 5 days worth of backups from Monday to Friday.
    - Each drive is swapped out daily to be taken off site.
    If I need to look at doing a full backup every weekend and leaving a single drive connected for the week for "incrementals" then I can discuss that with the managers but that would change the RPO to the previous week instead of the previous day if
    the building burns down for example.

    Thanks for the feedback PrashKom. What difference will leaving out -backuptarget make? From what I can see at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742083.aspx it is required to have that switch.
    Changing the backup performance doesn't seem to have made any difference in terms of the speed it takes as it is only on 68% complete 13 hours after starting.
    Do you think there will be any difference in changing from wbadmin start backup using task scheduler, to using wbadmin enable backup? I see in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742130.aspx that they have "wbadmin enable backup –addtarget:H:"
    but from my understanding is that setting the schedule will remove the drive letter and rename the drive like it does in the GUI.

  • Server 2012 Backups

    Hi
    I have recently bought a  new server  and  purchased Server 2012  licenses.  I am now trying to configure backups and I am  not seeing the option to backup to the tape  drive  on the server. 
    I am unable to use the  tape drive  unless I buy a  third party  product ? 
    I am able to backup  shared drives ?

    Hi,
    Yes, if you store backups on a remote shared folder, only one version of your backup will be maintained.

  • Hyper V 2012 Backup - best practice

    I'm setting up a new Hyper-V server 2012 and I'm trying to understand how to best configure it for backups and restores using
    Windows Server Backup. I´ve 5 VMs running, everyone has their one iScsi drive.
    I would like to backup the VMs on a external usb disk. I´ve the choice to backup the Hyper-V using child partition snapshot or to backup the vm folder with the config and the vhd files (is is right, that Windows override the old backup ?)
    What´s the difference between the two methods ?  Is incremental back possible with vm´s ?
    thanks

    Hi,
    There are two basic methods you can use to perform a backup. You can:
    Perform a backup from the server running Hyper-V.
    We recommend that you use this method to perform a full server backup because it captures more data than the other method. If the backup application is compatible with Hyper-V and the Hyper-V VSS writer, you can perform a full server backup that helps protect
    all of the data required to fully restore the server, except the virtual networks. The data included in such a backup includes the configuration of virtual machines, snapshots associated with the virtual machines, and virtual hard disks used by the virtual
    machines. As a result, using this method can make it easier to recover the server if you need to, because you do not have to recreate virtual machines or reinstall Hyper-V.
    Perform a backup from within the guest operating system of a virtual machine.
    Use this method when you need to back up data from storage that is not supported by the Hyper-V VSS writer. When you use this method, you run a backup application from the guest operating system of the virtual machine. If you need to use this method, you
    should use it in addition to a full server backup and not as an alternative to a full server backup. Perform a backup from within the guest operating system before you perform a full backup of the server running Hyper-V.
    iSCSI-based storage is supported for backup by the Hyper-V VSS writer when the storage is connected through the management operating system and the storage is used for virtual hard disks.

  • How to Secure SQL SERVER 2012 Backup without using TDE or any thirdparty backup solution

    Hi Experts
    Actually I was using backup set password feature for MS SQL SERVER 2008 but it is dropped in new versions (2012 & 2014). Please suggest some options to making the backups secure without using TDE or any third party tools.

    Hi khalil_pak,
    The WITH PASSWORD feature didn't really encrypt your backup. It just made it difficult for someone to accidentally restore the backup when they were not allowed to. And as other post, the password option is weak and could be broken easily.
    The only true way to protect the data is to encrypt the data at the source by encrypting the database with
    TDE. Or you can choose to use
    cell-level encryption to encrypt sensitive data.
    Thanks,
