SQL BACKUP failed to complete BACKUP LOG and sql error 3041.
The Backup Operators reported a SQL Server BACKUP failed error . They attached the TSM log entry.
20-05-2011 20:31:34 ACO5422E Received the following from the MS SQL server:
20-05-2011 20:31:34 An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
20-05-2011 20:31:34 BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
20-05-2011 20:31:34 BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.
I checked the SQL Error Logs . The related entry is :
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG MYDB. Check the backup application log for detailed messages. Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.
Looking at the SQL Server logs – there was an earlier entry of an ad-hoc SQL Server Backup.
A developer had taken an ad-hoc SQL Server BACKUP , without using the COPY_ONLY parameter, onto a local disk. This caused the BACKUP LOG to fail .
Copy only backup in SQL server 2005 and not break the backup chain
The Backup Operator issued a full SQL database BACKUP onto tape – this allowed the BACKUP LOG to start working correctly.
