Hello All,
I have SQL Server Agent jobs setup to backup database log files on an hourly basis, and they complete successfully most of the time. The job writes the backup to the local disk, then a later step in the job moves that file to a network share. However, randomly the agent jobs will fail with the below message. When they completed successfully the previous hour, and complete successfully the following hour. There are no error messages in the SQL Server Logs for the time when the job fails. This happens on several different databases in the same instance, in different SQL Server instances on the same server, and even on a different SQL Server altogether.
Executed as user: AgentUser. Processed 0 pages for database 'Database1', file 'Database1_Log' on file 1. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 4035) Could not locate file 'Database1_Log' for database 'Database1' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 8985) BACKUP LOG successfully processed 0 pages in 0.356 seconds (0.000 MB/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 3014). The step failed.
Any ideas on how to figure out why this is happening.
Thanks,
EC
