I lately changed my virtual machine from a Virtual Box to Hyper-V because of better performance on Hyper-V. After I did this I cannot restore a database (2008R2 all environments, same version) from outside a test or production environment, and I could before. I request this error in my SQL log:
backupiorequest::reportioerror read failure on backup device. Operating system error 13 (failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason 15105)
I tried ofcause google, which tells me that Operating System error 13 is somekind of "permission failure". I tried to give the backup file full control for everyone, but seems not to make any difference.
I think it is a permission problem, im just stuck and dont know how to solve the problem, any suggestions?
I changed my virtual machine name from one thing to another, could it be the problem so my "rights" is right now assigned to oldName and not newName and if yes, where do I need to change those?
You can lookup error codes here, for example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx
As it states, error 13 (or 0x0D) is ERROR_INVALID_DATA, so chances are, your backup is corrupted.
You can try to copy it to different machine and restore there. Also, it wouldn't hurt to run restore verifyonly and restore headeronly against the backup.
I tried to look at the permission for the SQL database, it seems to be ok. Tried to move it back to the original server. Seems that something went in the transaction to the endpoint.
The SQL.bak. Tried to do it again got the same result. So something is going on when im transfer it to a shared drive and grabbing it from there :(
So the answer is that the header file is broken :(

We have a server that is constantly running an ODBC trace, fortunately it's only a test server but it still keeps filling up its C drive. We have other servers similar to this one without the issue.
Tracing is off and it still writes to the log file after a reboot, I've deleted reg entries that point to the file which haven't returned but still logging. I have also deleted and recreated the ODBC connections to no avail however with the ODBC deleted it didn't seem to log.
Is there anything I've missed? I couldn't find anything on SE similar to this issue, mostly not logging or creating the file at all.
Thanks.
Added a pic of the ODBC setting and the log file.
I am trying to take a Full Backup of a database size about 75GB.
It is SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2055 x86 version. I have plenty of disk space where the backup is being created. So disk space isn't an issue.
The backup process starts fine but half way through it errors out just saying with status = 33.
I have looked into the Error Log and it is showing the error command the Enterprise Manager executed to take the backup with exactly the same error message, Status 33, which doesn't really help :S
I have been looking for any information online but couldn't find anything.... Any suggestions any solutions any pointers in the direct direction is much appreciated.......
the error number looks like a system error: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file..
usual solution is to exclude db and backup files from antivirus scanning.
also verify disk status; that message may sometimes happen when disk is failing and a disk check is a good idea if you have any doubt ^^
Further investigation and "Googling" solved the issue, The issue was with drive, It was compressed and SQL Server did not like that.
Solution
Removed the compression from Drive and this time backup completed without any errors and much faster.
I am receiving this error message while creating DB from a .mdf and .ldf files located on a network drive.
Query executed:
create database DatabaseName ON
(FileName = '\\gyancluster-sql\g$\Backup\WSS_Content_DB.mdf'),
(FileName = '\\gyancluster-sql\g$\Backup\WSS_Content_DB_log.ldf')
for attach
GO
Error
The file "\gyancluster-sql\g$\Backup\WSS_Content_DB.mdf" is on a
network path that is not supported for database files.
So what is your problem? What is the question? No question there - just dumping a sentence ;)
I mean, without wanting to sound too sarcastic, but you CAN read, or?
The file "\gyancluster-sql\g$\Backup\WSS_Content_DB.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database
files.
That is pretty clear, isn't it? It is not supported - for VERY good reasons, btw., until now.
Are you asking us now whether MS lies? No, they do not lie - this is not supported. They REALLY MEAN what they say.
There are ways around (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304261) but that is it ;)
Do you want us to reword the error message? Maybe into "dude, that wont worx, not cool, see"? Clearer?
Seriously - soudns harsh, but I always wonder why people do not actually READ the error message.
Use DBCC TRACEON(1807) before trying to create the Database.
Also, you can add the linea "-t 1807" to the MSSQL server startup parameters, it will make the change permanent. The command above let you use network storage, but on a reboot you will lose the flag.
You are lucky that the OS is warning you that opening database files directly over a network is a bad idea. Older database api's let you do that with no warning and then network users of that database application are forever blighted with corrupt databases.
If \gyancluster-sql\g$ refers for Local Disk G on the computer gyancluster-sql which also happens to be where the sql service is running, then you really should be using
create database DatabaseName ON
(FileName = 'G:\Backup\WSS_Content_DB.mdf'),
(FileName = 'G:\Backup\WSS_Content_DB_log.ldf')
for attach
GO
Note this remains true even if you are running the script from another computer.
It would still be a bad idea, but you may able to use the UNC names, but only if the service under which sql is running is able to access the share(eg if running under the Domain Administrator account), but that is normally considered an unnecessary security risk.
If you are really trying to store the database on network device, then obviously that means the sql service does need access to the share, so that would be the first thing to check, but you also need to read the Microsoft article which Chris Dickson has pointed you to (ie http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304261) which details when this is supported.
You need to enable the database file over network shared, the following post explain step by step how to do it.
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/varund/2010/09/02/create-a-sql-server-database-on-a-network-shared-drive/
The same post explains the risks to do it.
I hope this helps

When trying to do a back up of a database it fails at 30 percent. I try to defrag the disk to solve the problem but it still fails in the same step. I would like to understand why it failed.
Backup failed for Server 'Servernamehere'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Write on "E:\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSAS10.MSSQLSERVER\Backup\FrameProcess\FrameProcess.bak"
failed: 665(The requested operation could not be completed due to a
file system limitation) (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
We had the same problem: backup fails with error message 665.
The cause was excesive disk fragmentation.
Please see:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2002606
We run Windows Defrag on all the disks and that fixed it.
One cause of this error can be using folder compression. If you are using it, try backing up to a non-compressed folder instead.
Have you taken a look at this? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;957065
You don't specify the OS, but the symptoms sound similar.
Could you please check that on disk level:-
Any fragmentation and Shrinking is running on required interval. If yes, disable it to resolve the issue. Ask the Server team to do it if you can't.
I had same issue and its got resolved after disabling the disk.
I was able to get around this error by specifying multiple files in the backup instead of one big file. The whole backup is around 60GB, I split it into 12 5GB files and the error went away.
Later on, I checked the fragmentation level for that particular disk and it was showing around 40% fragmentation. It might be related as stated in previous answers.
Vista just finished one of its many updates. After restarting my computer I try connecting to SqlServer2008 instance with Sql Server Management Studio and I get this error:
Error connecting to '...\MSSQLSERVER2008'.
Additional information:
Login failed for user '...'. Reason: Server is in script upgrade mode. Only administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18401).
Pressing help gets me to an internet page saying there's no additional information.
Thx Vista & Updates. Anyone an idea because on the internet I can't find anything about this issue.
It appears This Guy was having the same problems as you and his only suggestion was to wait a few minutes before trying to log in again.
I have yet to see any type of Microsoft documentation about this, nor have I seen any forum posts which came to any sort of resolution concerning the same problem.
Check your event viewer. I had the same problem and found that (in my case) it was looking for a directory that didn't exist to perform an upgrade script. NO hint that there was any sort of problem in the dialog, but the event viewer showed clearly what the problem was.

I had the same problem. Waiting until update was done did not help. Solution was, (after checking Windows eventlog) to set the folder rights. SQL-Express had no rights on the database folder, why ever. Something has mixed up the rights during the upgrade from WinXP to Win 7. That was it.
Adding a comment to this page since this is the top Google result for "script upgrade mode". It seems that a number of things can cause a SQL Server DB to go into this mode. In our shop we've run into these two cases in the past months:
Log shipping - Can't recall at what point of the process exactly the DB went into this mode, iirc it was when bringing it back up. The solution was just to wait it out.
Hard drive full - The DB went into this mode when it ran out of space. We're currently clearing up the drive, will come back with an update if waking it up turns out to be challenging.
Update: After freeing up disk space, it was a simple matter of setting the DB "Offline" and then "Online" to bring it back up.
We had the same issue, but needed to know what was going on in the background.
The db's were put into recovery mode, hence they had to recover. To assist we went to the SQL Server error log located where the system files (normally master, model, msdb...) are located, but under the log folder. In the ERRORLOG, we did a find on the word recovery and could watch the db's percentage recovered. Everything recovered normally, but it was much longer than expected.
The Reason for this is that the system reboot happens with important\necesssary softwares loaded and does all other operation later so that the booting happens faster.
Here in your case, the sql booting is happening as the start of SQL is not needed for system to start. I hope you are aware of DAC account(Dedicated Administrator Connection, Link) who has seperate connectivity and has ability to resolve issues even the whole SQL server is not responing. The SQL server is asking you either to wait or open the SQL with DAC account and stop the SQL update.
Solutions:
1) Wait until backround update completes
2) Open SQL using DAC account and kill all running processes
