Description:
A Microsoft SQL Server Backup fails. The errors produced by NetVault: Backup indicate a problem the Sqlvdi.dll file.
Symptoms:
The backup will fail with the following two errors:
- Could not create component, check registration of SQLVDI.DLL and value of IID
- Backup failed due to errors in database ‘….’
Reason:
This problem occurs when NetVault tries to use a Sqlvdi.dll file that has been unregistered.
To resolve this problem, re-register the Sqlvdi.dll file. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Stop SQL Server.
2. Click Start, click Run, type Regsvr32 Path\SQLVDI.DLL in the Open box, and then click OK. The default path of the Sqlvdi.dll file is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM"***.
3. Restart SQL Server.
More information can be found in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 830575.
*** Note that the default installation path for SQL Server varies between versions. ***
