The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Best way to Backup / Restore SQL 2005 Data Bases ?

Asked by PortableLighting in MS SQL Server, SBS Small Business Server, Backup & Restore Software

Tags: , , ,

Hello,

I am trying to get our Disaster Recovery plan in place here, but I am running into problems trying to backup our SQL 2005 databases.

We are running SBS 2003 R2 Premium, I have installed a 320GB DLT tape drive.
I have installed Yosemite Tapeware v 7.00 SP5C.
I have also installed the tapeware agents for Exchange and SQL.

Running a full backup (with Tapeware) backs-up everything without problems except for the SQL 2005 databases.

The Tapeware log shows the error "932 - Unable to create SQL pipe" for each SQL database.

I followed the Tapeware documentaion to add the ODBC connection for the SQL instance and I believe I have it configured correctly, but I can't find any real documentaion explaining the error except for the following:
"Error Number 932  Unable to create SQL pipe
Description: When attempting to backup or restore, TapeWare was unable to open the transfer pipe. This is normal if the server has rejected the DUMP or LOAD command."

After reading some of these posts, it looks like I could also just scrap the Tapeware SQL agent and have SQL "dump" the data to a file and just have Tapeware backup the file. But I am not sure how to do that.

Either way, I need to get these databases backed up so I can sleep at night!

I am quite inexperienced with SQL.
