e000ff19 - communications failure (SQL Server)

Hi,

i'm trying to backup several databases from another server with backup exec 2010 r3. interestingly, it works for all databases, except one.it was already running, but then out of nowhere, it stopped. the one that doesn't work is the largest one, so i thought the most likely problem is space, but after looking through the disks i assume that this should be alright. The exact error is:

e000ff19 - A communications failure has occurred with a SQL Server resource

the error windows also says:

End tag 'machine' does not match the start tag 'sql_dbcc_group'.

29: C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Data\BEX_AITSCORP01_01003.xml

the database is a SQL 2008 R2, SP1

the sql log file shows following error:

15:25:32.16 Backup      Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.
15:25:32.16 Backup      BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE ARSystem. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

the assignment of permission should be fine, it works on the other databases. i already reassignet the sqlvdi.dll files with regsvr32. i don't think it makes a difference if i use the advanced open file option.

 

what could be the problem?

  • Hi, the problem was probably the tcpkeepalive function. to shorten the backup-process i stopped using the consistency-check at the beginning of the job. now, the job is running without errors.

    thanks, Konstantin

  • Hi kage,

    Make sure AV is excluded from the Backup Exec processess, also that there arent any other database utilities being ran at the same time.

  • Hi Imosla,

    thanks for the fast reply. what do you mean with AV?
