170 | Validation error when processing the list of transaction log backups. SQL Backup Pro could not process the list of transaction log backups required to restore a database. Check the error message for further details. If the error message reports that the log files are not in sequence, this may be because the Log Sequence Numbers cannot be read or are missing from the header file. You can manually restore the log files, specifying In a log shipping scenario, this error may be due to a large log backup taking a long time to copy to the network share, allowing later (smaller) log files to be copied to the network share before it, and a restore of these attempted. This problem should sort itself out over time. You can avoid the problem by increasing the log restore job interval so that it is at least the transfer time of the largest backup. For more information, see Log shipping. |
175 | Another process might be locking this file: <value> (attempt <value>) (<value>) This is an informational message. The backup file was locked, preventing SQL Backup Pro from updating the file at the first attempt. SQL Backup Pro succeeded in updating the file after further attempts. Other applications may be accessing backup files. This may cause errors in the future if those applications maintain locks on the backup files. |

|
436 | Get exclusive local data store access failed - abandoned. SQL Backup Pro could not acquire a lock on the SQL Server Compact database it uses to store details of backup and restore processes. This was due to a termination request. This usually happens because the SQL Backup Agent service is in the process of shutting down. You can restart the SQL Backup Agent service from the Windows Services panel. |
438 | Get exclusive local data store access failed - invalid lock handle. SQL Backup Pro could not acquire a lock on the SQL Server Compact database it uses to store details of backup and restore processes. This was probably caused by an internal error. Try restarting the SQL Backup Agent service. To do this, open the Windows Services panel, select the SQL Backup Agent service for the instance, right-click and select Restart. |
440 | Invalid DB handle. SQL Backup Pro could not write data to the SQL Server Compact database it uses to store details of backup and restore processes. The database was not available.

460 | Encryption key size is specified, but password is empty. The |
462 | Short passwords may not be secure. The |
470 | Transaction log has already been restored. This is an informational message. One or more transaction log backup files has already been restored, and will not be restored again. This may indicate that the Alternatively, another process may be copying old transaction log backup files to the directory SQL Backup Pro is using for newly created transaction log backup files. |
471 | Failed to run sp_change_users_login report while checking for orphaned users. The Check the error message for the cause of the failure. |
472 | Orphaned users have been detected during a RESTORE operation. Check the log file for the list of orphaned users and associated SIDs. |
473 | The current log file contains records created after the STOPAT time. |
474 | A full database backup was performed for the database <database name>. This warning arises if |
480 | Failed to create output folder: <value> |
481 | The file name (<file name>) contains an invalid character (<invalid character>). This warning arises if the <DATABASE> tag is used, either directly or via the <AUTO> tag, to generate a backup file name from the database name, and the database name includes an invalid character. If no backups are created, error code 505 is also returned. For information on using tags to generate file names, see File location tags. For information on the <AUTO> tag see File management options. |
483 | The FULLIFREQUIRED option is not available when taking differential|transaction log backups on SQL Server 2005|2000. SQL Backup was unable to create any full database backups that may be required to restore a differential|transaction log backup. This warning arises when using
and SQL Server has not returned SQL error 3035 or 4214 (current database backup does not exist). In these cases, SQL Backup Pro is unable to identify whether any full database backups should be taken before taking differential or transaction log backups. The differential or transaction log backups are created, but may not be usable. For more information, see FULLIFREQUIRED in The BACKUP command. |
485 | File does not exist: <Filename .sqb> This warning may arise during a restore operation. The restore process will perform a check on the file to ensure it is accessible before the restore begins. If there is a temporary network interruption or a delay in the initial response being received, this warning will occur, but the second attempt to check the file will succeed. The warning can be ignored in these circumstances. |
