Skipped databases while doing a MS SQL database backup.
- This is a "feature" lol, our SQL DBA found it, do we get a cookie?
Here is the alert they sent out:
This is to inform you that Symantec Corporation has just issued a Software Alert. This is a critical technical issue for:
-NetBackup Enterprise Server 6.5 through 6.5.5 on Supported Windows platforms
For complete details and our recommendations, please visit the following reference document:
When a large number of databases are enumerated in an SQL batch file, or when the DATABASE $ALL wildcard is used to enumerate a large number of databases, some databases are skipped and not all databases are backed up. No failure is reported in the Activity Monitor.
