My backup will work for a few days and then bomb with a Snapdrive error shown in the attached file. I scoured the Now Knowledgebase and could not come up with anything. I scoured the event logs on my SQL and Virtual Center server with little luck. Yesterday, I opened a case with Netapp but I was curious if anyone else has seen this type of Snapdrive error.</P><P></P><P>A few weeks back I did upgrade from Snapdrive 6.3 to 6.3P1. This problem might have coincided with this upgrade but I cannot be sure. Two days ago my backup bombed again. When I went to look at the SQL server, Snapdrive was not even seeing the disks and a restart did not help. When I opened the ticket with Netapp, the engineer had me unistall Snapdrive 6.3P1 and reinstall Snapdrive 6.3. This made the disks visible once again. A kicked off my SMSQL server backup job manually and it bombed again with the same Snapdrive errors. Last night this same job kicked off according to schedule at 10:40pm and it ran fine.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:02:54 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Snapdrive-error-running-SMSQL-backup/m-p/77849#M8832 HendersonD 2025-06-05T07:02:54Z Re: Snapdrive error running SMSQL backup https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Snapdrive-error-running-SMSQL-backup/m-p/77854#M8833 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A good boxing day to you, sir...</P><P></P><P>Have you examined the syslog an auditlog records on the filer involved at the same time peiods ?</P><P></P><P>I didn't see them in your included log mesgs ?
