error in executing jobs

  • hi all,

    i am getting this errors, when i run the jobs.can any one help me on this

    job of differentialbackup:

    WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'master_backup_20090127114039', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database. BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems wi... The package execution fa... The step failed.

    and another one

    job of full backup:

    Source: Back Up Database Task Executing query "BACKUP DATABASE [pubs] ... The package execution fa... The step failed.

  • i'd guess that the answer is in the error message....

    "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database"

    remove the differential option for master. do a full backup.

  • Hi,

    master database need not be backed up every hour or every half-hour full/differential backup . One needs to backup the master database for the following reasons:

    1. after it is created

    2. if the configuration values are changed

    3. if the SQL logons are configured

    4. any changes are made to the database

    if you are looking for master database backup go for full backup

    Thank You

  • hi all

    i am again getting this error when i am doing the differential backup.

    error::

    TExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).

    Started: 10:00:00 AM Finished: 10:00:07 AM Elapsed: 6.593 seconds.

    The package execution failed. The step failed.

    thanks in advance

  • As pointed out you cant create a Differential backup of the master database.

    "Keep Trying"

  • hi

    i didn't create differential backup on master database

  • if you are running the job to take Diferencial backup for other DB ,

    it look's like the package isn't executing using the right credentials.

    Check & Run As settings of the SQL Agent job that is created when

    you schedule the package and make sure that it is set correctly

    and check the connection

  • hi

    i recreated the job. every thing was fine here. the problem is not with the connection.
