Hi. If the ticketing system response you mention was sent to me via e-mail could you send it again as the address on my profile was out of date.
betweeen 20 and 40 servers.
thanks / comments

Could I just ask if a workaround/fix/resolution, call it what you like, was given for this as I think i'm having the same issues since upgrading to 7.
The reason I think this is because there are big delays between the time the backup is taken and the time it is copied to a network location. / comments

d'uh - of course it does, sorry.
I think there's a argument that databases backup copies should be a separate process too. It just as important to me that my backups are sent to a network location as it is they are stored locally.
thanks again / comments

Could you tell me what the speed column is? I'm curious as of the things I'm looking at is backup throughput times. / comments
thanks.

Cheers. The move worked but I can't restore the latest backup from the 3 individual backups that are in the folder.
e.g.
this works....
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE DATABASE Logging_LiveCopy
FROM DISK = [F:\SQL BACKUP\Logging\Logging_FULL_20120107_200002.sqb] WITH REPLACE,
MOVE ''Logging'' TO [E:\SQL MDF\Logging_LiveCopy.mdf],
MOVE ''Logging_Log'' TO [D:\SQL LDF\Logging_LiveCopy_Log.ldf]"'
GO
this doesn't....
EXEC master..sqlbackup '-sql "RESTORE DATABASE Logging_LiveCopy
FROM DISK = [F:\SQL BACKUP\Logging\Logging*.sqb] LATEST_FULL WITH REPLACE,
MOVE ''Logging'' TO [E:\SQL MDF\Logging_LiveCopy.mdf],
MOVE ''Logging_Log'' TO [D:\SQL LDF\Logging_LiveCopy_Log.ldf]"'
returns....
Error 507: No valid backup sets found from provided folder(s).
The only thing I can think of why this doesn't work is because although I'm taking a full back up of the same database to the same folder each night, this does not
mean it is actually a backup "set", so it fails.

That kind of doesn't make sense as I know one of the files is a full backup that can be restored
If I delete the other two and leave just the one full backup that I have restored by naming explicitly it still wont restore it using the wildcard? / comments

Oh I see. If using the wildcard I need to tell it what the source is.

2.1 so that'll explain it, I'll upgrade it and keep my eye on it.

I've discovered this problem whilst testing sql monitor.
I'm only monitoring 3 servers with only a one day retention period.
This table ended up with 30 million rows @ 18Gb after a few weeks.
Problem is there's no option to purge it on the front-end, I just had to set up a SQL agent job to truncate it each night / comments

I would say it's probably the wording that slightly out in this case.
I dont work for RedGate but I'm guessing until the check that fires the alert is run, it would not read the table, so if you created a database before the check runs it won't know that a backup doesn't exist, simple.
Anyway wouldn't you find it really annoying if it immediately warned you that there was no backup as soon as you created a database? I'd end up turning this alert off it it did this.
