Hi all,
Occasionally, when I perform a RESTORE on a database,
The msdb tables are not updated properly.
The RESTORE functions normally, however when I run a query against the
BackupSet, BackupMediaFamily and RestoreHistory tables, there appear to = be orphaned records in the RestoreHistory table. (eg. The = RestoreHistory has a record of the restore as well as a BackupSetID = value, however these values cannot be found in the BackupSet and = BackupMediaFamily tables.
This is a recurring problem, however it does not happen all of the time.
Do you have any ideas?
TIA

Too many drinks I think Rick<g>. Seriously though I have not noticed =this before. Is there any chance there is a job that tries to clean out =the history without using sp_deletebackuphistory?

There is that possibility,
I'm still researching it however. This only happens occasionally, so =it is a bit baffling.
I've got 50 or so servers in the hosted environment and only a few of =them are experiencing this problem.
All the servers are the same H/W and S/W, service packs etc.
Win 2k Server, SP4, SQL 2k SP3a etc.
I'll keep you posted, meanwhile if anyone else can think of =anything...
I've got jobs that run after a restore takes place which ensures that =everything in these logs match up (just in case we run into problems =like this. ;-))
