My DPM Server:
Server 2008 x64
DPM 2007 SP1
SQL 2005 SP3 (local to DPM)
Protecting:
Server 2003 SP2 x64
SQL 2005 SP3
I have about 30 databases being backed up from the one client machine. All of them backup just fine except one. Every time I try to do a synchronization or a full backup I get the following error:
Triggering synchronization on *myserver\mydatabase* failed: Error 46: DPM failed to perform the operation because too many objects have been selected. Select fewer objects and then retry this operation.
Error details: The stub received bad data (0x800706F7)
Recommended action: Select fewer objects. 1) If you are trying to protect a large number of data sources on a volume, consider protecting the whole volume instead of individual data sources. 2)If you are trying to recover a large number of folders or files from a volume, consider recovering the parent folder, or divide the recovery into multiple operations.
This happens even if I just select the one database. All the other databases backup correctly.
After posting in the news group, I got a question from a Microsoft person whether full text indexing was enabled, and if so how many catalogs. Upon investigation, it appears that this is one of the only databases that i have that has full text indexing enabled. It has 32 indexes.
So with the suggestion of a colleague, I did a rebuild of the indexes:
- In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) expand the database/Storage/Full Text Catalogs
- Right click on the Full Text Catalogs folder and select Rebuild All
Then I went back to my DPM server, to the protection group and selected the database in question. I did a “Create recovery point – Disk”, “Create a recovery point by using express full backup”.
That worked, so maybe that means the problem is fixed…
