hi Friends,
How r u? i'll need some help from your end about sql2000 server.
i'll made a job for database backup. In this backup job append the
backupfile day by day. It is working for some day but after some day.
This job will be fail. It's shows me "file is incorrectly formatted.
Backups cannot be appended, but existing backup sets may still be
usable. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3266) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating
abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed."
Please help me
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit Taru.

Backup - Append vs Overwrite?
Hi,
If backing up a database to a disk file from within Enterprise Manager, it
seems you still get a choice between "Append" and "Overwrite". I don't
understand how these options work with disk files.
Does it mean that if you supply the exact same file name as an earlier
backup, the backup will be appended to the existing file (the file will
double in size but you'll still only have one file?).
Is it the case that if you supply a FileName that's never been used before,
it makes no difference whether you choose Append or Overwrite at this stage?
I've always used Maintenance plans for backup, and it seems you don't get a
choice about Append and Overwrite.
Thanks for any help.

Yes it appends the backup to the file so you have one file
and two different backups in the file.

There is nothing to append to as it will be making a new
backup.

The sqlmaint utility which the database maintenace plan uses
always does an append. You could always just write your own
backup in T-SQL using the with init or noinit options which
controls the append or overwrite behaviors. See BOL Backup
for more details on the options.

Backup
Hi
I had problem with my backup file. I'm taking backup on remote machine a full backup in append mode just because my database size is small.Due to some reason the backup was incompleted that was shown when i'm looking the file. Now when i' try to backup on same file it gives an error messages. Is it possible to remove the incomplete mark on file.Even if i try overite the file its not allowed. Tell me why its so and how to use the same file without moving it.Howdy
No - rename the old file & use a new file . If the old file is corrupted, you run the risk of continually using a corrupted backup - not a good thing.
Cheers,
SG.

Hello,
Newbie question.
How do I have have a complete backup of a database for one weeks time frame
and the backups append to the file name the date it was backup up? Anything
after a week the oldest backup will be deleted. Thank you.There is nothing in SQL Server that does exactly that for you. You can
accomplish the same thing with a bit of TSQL programming. Just one thing:
you cannot delete parts of a backup file. When you do a backup, it is either
all or nothing (append or overwrite).
