Backup --> TRANSACTION LOG TRUNCATE versus TRANSACTION LOG RENAME MATCH
Hi, I rest my question. I want to do a backup of my log file only and I want to rename the log file. I'm using ASA Sybase 8.0.2. In my ISQL, I wrote : BACKUP DATABASE DIRECTORY 'c:\\database\\backup' TRANSACTION LOG ONLY TRANSACTION LOG RENAME MATCH The backup is executed successfully, but a another log file was created in the original database repertory. I don't want the log file copy created in my original repertory. So, if I add TRANSACTION LOG TRUNCATE, like that, an error occurs : BACKUP DATABASE DIRECTORY 'c:\\d...

'active transaction log' versus 'local transaction log'
Both Cons. Db and remote Db are running on (separate) servers. I start dbremote on both sites from an client-pc. on the Cons.db, the dbremote-window says it uses the 'active transaction log', which is good. but on the remote.db, dbremote uses the 'local transaction log D:\map\dbname.log' in which D: is the Hdisk of the SERVER. result is a non-working dbremote on the client-pc's of the remote site. What must I do to let dbremote use the 'active transaction log' too on my remote site ?? Please show us the dbremote commands you're executin...

full backup vs transaction log backup
What will happen if the full backup is running and the transaction log backup starts or vice versa on ASA? On ASE, the second one will wait until the first one finishes. Thanks The same is true with ASA. Only one instance of DBBackup (or the BACKUP statement) will be active at a time. A second or third instance will block until the first one completes. -- ----------------------------------------------- Robert Waywell Certified SQL Anywhere Associate Sybase's iAnywhere Solutions Please respond ONLY to newsgroup EBF's and Patches: http://downloads.sybase.com ...

Backup from transaction log bigger than backup from database
Hi, I have a database which backup is about 210 Mb however the backup from her transaction log is 540 Mb. I don't understand why. Any idea.

Mayhaps it has been a loooooooooo-ooooo-ooo-ong time since the last transaction dump, and so therefore there are a loooo-oo-ot of un-dumped transactions. What are the dates of the two files?

Transaction log backups
Hi, When I perform full backup of a database, do I have to backup transaction log also in order to truncate it? In other words, does a full backup truncate the transaction log "automatically"? I do not have "Truncate log on checkpoint" turned on. This is mid-sized DB in production environment and I intend to backup the tran on hourly basis and perform full backup maybe three times a day. - Auski Auski wrote: > When I perform full backup of a database, do I have > to backup transaction log also in order to truncate it? Yes. Only a dum...

Logging: Disk full
Hi how are you? I'm fairly new to groupwise and all of the problems that may occur, but I believe I have a fairly simple problem to fix(I hope). This morning I was told by a couple of people that they have not been recieving their mail for a couple of days. When I looked at the MTA it reports basically continuosly: Logging: Disk full - disk logging turned off. I've been doing research this morning trying to figure out where these log files are... but have had no luck. I'm under the assumption that I could delete these files to create more disk space...is t...

Transaction Logs And Logging
I work in a shop that does not keep the Sybase transaction logs. We have been mandated to research archiving our logging. The Sybase documentation does not go into great detail about how to do this. Can anyone give me pointers on this, or point me in the way of decent documentation? I understand setting the 'dump transaction' command on the Last Chance thresholds. We have 65 active databases, and the nightmare I have is trying to deal with 65 logs being constantly dumped. Without overwriting each other before they can be copied to tape. Is there an easy way to rename the ...

backup and clearing the transaction log
was wondering what the Backup the Log (remove the inactive part and create a new transaction log) does. I need to write a script that will do this. is it dumping the log to the dump device then truncating the log with truncate_only or something else. I have a sybase book here that says if disaster occurs before you can dump the database, you will not be able to recover any data that added since the last dump. So was wondering at the end do I need to then dump the complete database after I truncate log? Victor On Mon, 22 May 2006 07:20:56 -0700, Victor wrote: >...

Backup
Hello all: I have ASE 11.5.1 running under Solaris 2.6. Each day a backup is done via a cron job. The command executed is: dump database (database name) to "dev/rmt/0c" with capacity=8808000, init It has been my understanding that when a dump database command is executed, that the transaction log is purged. That is apparently not the case. My question is two fold: 1) is there another "switch" to add to the dump database command that will purge the transaction log? 2) Assuming 1 is no, then how do you purge the log on a routine basis and what is a good interval ...

No off-line transaction log file found and on-line transaction log starts at...
Hi all, ASA & ML 9.0.2.3221 Two days ago, one of our remotes stopped syncing, and unfortunately nobody noticed until today, which means that quite a lot of information got entered, and a simple re-sync would result in a considerable loss of data. The database was in E:\DBs\remote.db E:\DBs\remote.log On Tuesday, a backup of the remote for testing purposes was made through Sybase Central to a subfolder E:\DBs\test\remote.db E:\DBs\test\remote.log Ever since then, we are getting I. 10/10 05:24:48. Processing transaction logs from directory "E:\DBs\" E. 10/10 05:24:48. No off-line transaction log file found and on-line transaction log starts at offset 0706435324. I. 10/10 05:24:48. We are looking for a transaction log file starting at offset 0057788176. I. 10/10 05:24:48. Synchronization completed The original E:\DBs\remote.log tran log file is still there, untouched, 88 megabytes large, created last July when we did the first sync. It is not missing, and nothing changed it. I assumed that dbmlsync gets confused if there is another remote.log tranlog file in the subfolder of the remote database folder. Since than, I moved it to E:\backup\remote.db E:\backup\remote.log so, completely out of the folder structure of the real remote database, which is still in E:\DBs\remote.db. Same error message. Thinking that it needs to maybe scan the copy of the log file (which is ~ 56 MB large, so considerably small...

How do I make a backup hard disk image?
Hi I just had my hard disk infected and unable to recover it. So I am going to look at it later and redesign my whole security defense plan. I want to do the following and would appreciate any tips about what free, or paid if necessary, software can accomplish this: Once I have a Windows PC as I need it with all my 3rd party software installed on it can I take another empty hard disk and make a complete copy of it kind of like an ISO image of a CD? This would contain identical master boot record info, the entire Windows OS and my installed software and anything else so t...

How to determine non-logged transaction has occured.
For Sybase ASE 12.0 running on HP-UX how can I determine if a non-logged transaction has occured in a database. I would like to monitor for this situation programatically. Thanks. Hi Keith, Non-logged trans are only allowed if the DB option "select into/bulkcopy/pllsort" is true. Now if the option is true and you want to check if a non-logged tran occurred, the only way that I am aware of would be to execute a dump transaction which will fail if there was a non-logged tran. 1> dump tran kr2 to "c:\tmp\kr2.tran" 2> go Msg 4207, Level 16, State 1: ...

need to add Hard Disk for backup purposes
Hi all, I'm new here and really new to Netware. I'm just beginning to get involved with Netware Servers (V 6.5) and am trying to add hard disks to a server for backup purposes. I have two SCSI hard disks to add to this server and wish to name them backup_1 and backup_2. Using the Backup Exec software we have a site license. I want to be able to do an incremental backup Monday thru Thursday and a full back up on Friday on each disk alternating out the disks weekly with one of the disks being off site while the other is in service. I can add the new drive in a Hot manner and then must go through configuring the disk.....during the configuration I'm asked if I want the disk to be a part of a pool or something to that effect. What do I want to do here? Actually I'd like to know just what is a pool technically? I've got several books on Netware and none of them has painted me a clear picture of just what a pool is. I'm kind of excited to be learning about Netware I hope you all can bear with me as I stumble through this. Thanks so much!!! -- efisd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A pool is a structure between a volume and a partition. It allows, for instance, you to have multiple volumes in a pool, each of which can dynamically grow to use unallocated space within the pool on demand.

Mirror crashing which backup with transaction log rename
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a crash of the SA10 mirror when performing a backup with a transaction log rename? It does it every time I try to do the backup with the rename option. I did get prompted to send the report to ianywhere and I did. I don't think it should crash, that's not particularly friendly :) Did you use dbbackup.exe or the BACKUP statement? I am not sure how you would get BACKUP to run on a mirror, and I think running dbbackup.exe violates the rule that a mirror database does not accept a connection. I must confess, I don't compl...

Disk-to-disk backup with GWTSA
Hello, Does anyone know of a way to use the GWTSA functionality to directly copy the live GroupWise databases from one server to another? (Or from one volume to another on the same server? The idea is to get cheap insurance by simply scheduling a job over the weekend to copy the files, and just set the backup copy up as a restore area in the event it is needed. I know about GWBACK32 and DBCOPY, but some people have reported compatibility problems with GroupWise 6.5, and it also adds the unnecessary step of having to run the utilities on a Windows box. We could also use o...

Backup transaction logs at both consolidated and remote database
Any advice in regards to be able to safely backing up transaction logs at both consolidated and remote database? At the consolidated database (running on an NT Server) we can run dbbackup (with the -r option) as a service and be trigger to connect to the running consolidated database to backup and truncate the database. But at the remote database, we do not want the user to have to run dbbackup. Is there any 'safe' option in SQLRemote such that it can backup and truncate the transaction log?
