I'm currently looking at the trial version for evaluation purposes.

I have SQL 2005 installed locally on the same machine that SQL backup is installed.

I can successfully backup two of the smaller DB's to my local drive (which has over 400Gb available) but when I try to backup a 41Gb DB I get the following messages:

local: Backup - Failed
======================

Performing full backups - Failed

This operation failed with errors.

Backing up fish4 (full database) to:

  • The error eludes to a fulltext catalogue that cannot be backed up. I would check that the msftesql service is running on the SQL Server and that the service account for the service is valid.

    Alternatively you could enable some trace flags that will log more information about the full-text service into the SQl Server logs:

    dbcc traceon(7603,7604,-1)

    Hopefully some of these suggestions help. The problem is not with the size of the database, it's just that this particualr database either has a damaged full-text catalog or a problem in the FTX service.
