Date: JULY 2010
Product & Version:
OS Version: all windows
Application version: MS SQL ALL
Symptoms:
Backup of sql databases with the MS SQL plugin fails with the following error message:
An Error 1060 - The Specified Service Does Not Exist as an Installed Service.
This error may occur immediately after launching the SQL backup. Check that the MSSQLSERVER is started. In the case where the service is started make sure that user is not using a pre/post scripts that stops that service prior to the backup and starts the service after the backup. The service should be stopped only if the SQL database is backed as file system (cold backup). It is not necessary to stop the service if the plugin is used since it does take advantage of the VSS/VDI quiescing technology to do hot backups.
