SQL Server 2008 and Backup Exec 2010


Recommended Posts

Ive installed SQL Server 2008 R2 DataCenter Edition and im trying to use the default instance for Backup Exec 2010 by Symantic however when i reach the choose sql server section im told to add logon permission to my-domain.com\Administrator (should have access already).

in SQL Server Management Studio the default login name is the netbios name of the server and attempting to create my-domain.com\Administrator gives Windows NT user or group not found.

Has anyone expierenced the same problem or know a solution ?

If you could setup with a teamviewer session I could take a look. It sounds like something is not configured properly on the backup server end (proper username and password combo).

Click the join a session link, not the download full. Full install will not work on windows server without licensing.

I use a script:

USE MASTER;

DECLARE @BackupLocation     VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @BackupFileName     VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @DatabaseName       VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @FullBackupLocation VARCHAR(max)
DECLARE @BackupName         VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @DayNumber VARCHAR(max)

SET @DatabaseName = 'DBName'

SET @BackupLocation = 'D:\BackupLocation\'

IF DATEPART(DD, GETDATE()) < 10
	SET @DayNumber = '0' + CAST(DATEPART(DD, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
ELSE
	SET @DayNumber = CAST(DATEPART(DD, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)


SET @BackupFileName = @DatabaseName + '_' + 
	CAST(DATEPART(yyyy, GETDATE()) as VARCHAR) + 
	CAST(DATEPART(MM, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR) +
	@DayNumber
	+ '_' +
	CAST(DATEPART(HH, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
	+
	CAST(DATEPART(MINUTE, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
	+
	CAST(DATEPART(SECOND, GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR)
	+'.BAK'

SET @BackupName = 'Full Backup of ' + @DatabaseName
SET @FullBackupLocation = @BackupLocation + '\\' + @BackupFileName

PRINT 'BackupFileName: ' + @BackupFileName
PRINT 'BackupName: ' + @BackupName
PRINT 'BackupLocation: ' + @BackupLocation
PRINT 'FullBackupLocation: ' + @FullBackupLocation

BACKUP DATABASE [BEDB] TO 
	DISK = @FullBackupLocation
    WITH FORMAT, COMPRESSION, NAME = @BackupName
GO

Change:

SET @DatabaseName = 'DBName'

SET @BackupLocation = 'D:\BackupLocation\'

Use SQL Agent to run the job.

    • Linux 6.16-rc1 is out: What's new and what does it mean for your system? by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, head and founder of the Linux kernel, has announced the closure of the merge window where major new features are added to the kernel, and the beginning of the Linux 6.16 release candidates, beginning with release candidate 1 (Linux 6.16-rc1). Linux 6.15 was released two weeks ago and in the time since, developers have had the opportunity to try and get their new kernel features into the Linux 6.16 kernel. Over the next two months, we will get seven or eight release candidates where developers will stabilize new and existing features. This means that the stable version of Linux 6.16 will arrive around the end of July. Torvalds said that the merge window seemed pretty normal this time, but did say he had a feeling that there were more “late straggler” pull requests than is typical. Despite this, everything seems to be fine and the schedule will be going forward as planned. Key areas of development Torvalds explained that around half of the changes in the first release candidate were driver updates, with the bulk of those being made up with by GPU and networking drivers. For end users these are the most important changes because when your favorite distribution of Linux ships a new release with this kernel, it will support more graphics cards and networking equipment like Wi-Fi cards. The non-driver updates in this version are split between architecture-specific updates, documentation and tooling (perf tool and selftests), and core changes to filesystems, core kernel, memory management, and networking. Torvalds said the core changes include some of the “most important” changes, though they’re not necessarily major changes. Fixes to the core ensure a more stable Linux kernel for end users, plus better performance. The merge window saw developers submit thousands of non-merge commits and merges. The non-merge commits were around 13,000 while the merge commits nearly reached 1,000. There were 1,783 unique authors submitting code during this window. Next steps Over the coming weeks, Linux developers, including individuals or representatives of companies, will submit bug fixes for new and existing features. This release candidate cycle will run until around the end of July and then the final version will become available. End users shouldn’t go out and download Linux 6.16 when it’s released, instead just wait for your Linux distribution to update to it, as distribution-specific changes get made. Neowin will be following these releases and reporting on any interested changes that are noted. Source: LKML
