FIX: Monthly Scheduled Backup Skips Alternate Months

Article ID: 107710

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft SQL Server 4.21a Standard Edition

BUG# NT: 9613 (4.20)

SYMPTOMS

When you schedule a backup event to occur monthly, the backup event may not occur every alternate month. For example, assume a monthly backup event is scheduled on October 26, 1993, to occur on Tuesday of the fourth week every month (Tuesday monthly-week4). The next backup for that event will not occur on November 23, 1993; instead, it will occur on December 28, 1993.

CAUSE

The stored procedure sp_MSbackup_now incorrectly calculates the time elapsed for the monthly backup event.

WORKAROUND

Drop and recreate the stored procedure sp_MSbackup_now by running the following script using any query tool, such as ISQL or ISQL/w.

On SQL Server for Windows NT:

use master
go
drop proc sp_MSbackup_now
go
create procedure sp_MSbackup_now as
declare @now datetime, @dayofweek smallint, @hour smallint, @minute
smallint, @elapsed int, @monthyear varchar(30)
set nocount on
/* */ 
/* Get the current date and time. */ 
/* Parse out the relevant parts of the date  */ 
/* */ 
select @now = getdate()
select @dayofweek = datepart(weekday,@now)
select @monthyear = substring(convert(varchar(12),getdate()),1,12)
/* */ 
/* Create temporary table that holds data on what needs to be dumped */ 
/* */ 
create table #spdumptab
(
id             int           Not Null, /* Unique identifier */ 
name           varchar(30)   Not Null, /* Name of database to be dumped */ 
owner          varchar(30)   Not Null, /* Name of the database owner */

logcntrltype   smallint      Null,     /* Control type */
