We sometimes get the below backup to tape fails..
Monitoring - Critical Error - Backup to tape failed
Error Details: Backup of \Server\SQL\model cannot be completed, DPM could not find a valid recovery point on disk. (ID 30126) (lots of these for different servers)
Current Proceedure to fix this and rerun the tape backup:
Protection:
Select failed area (from above Error details)
Perform Consistency check
Then Create recovery Point - to disk - (can't just do this straight away it fails with - Cannot preform creation of a recovery point on a replica which is inconsistent (ID 31209)
- Oddly then after this in The Protection tab it still says "Backup to Tape Failed"
Then run Backup to tape job again..
Is this the correct way to fix this as it's a ball ache.. Could I script it, I presume so ?
