Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server :: Unable to lock the sharepoint topology


	Unable to lock the sharepoint topology I am trying to backup my sharepoint server using Backup Exec. I am running in to the error I listed in my subject. I try to go to http://<server>:<port>/CentralDatabaseLock.aspx to release the lock but that doesn't work. It shows the lock being the process of creating the site which is 100% complete. This is a sharepoint 2003 server running on Win2k3 SP2 with a SQL 2000 backend. If there are any ideas on how to fix this please let me know. Currently I am able to do SQL backups of the database fine, but I would prefer to use the sharepoint agent. Thanks! Hi, You could check what locks are held in SQL when starting the backup job from backup exec. /Daniel Bugday "Da Mack" <Da M@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AF8A2A9C-3082-4FE4-BC16-0F9781D3E1EE@microsoft.com... - Hide quoted text - >I am trying to backup my sharepoint server using Backup Exec.

I checked SQL and tried killing the locks that looked questionable. I am not quite sure it is a sql problem at this point. I have rebooted my SQL server multiple times. I even moved my sharepoint farm to a new server and am still having issues. - Hide quoted text - "Daniel Bugday" wrote: > Hi, > You could check what locks are held in SQL when starting the backup job from > backup exec. > /Daniel Bugday > "Da Mack" <Da M@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:AF8A2A9C-3082-4FE4-BC16-0F9781D3E1EE@microsoft.com... > >I am trying to backup my sharepoint server using Backup Exec.
