1185 - Error when creating a snapshot backup of multiple SQL databases concurrently

Modified on Mon, 21 Jul at 12:51 PM

Symptom

According to Microsoft, the maximum number of databases that should be backed up concurrently when using VSS is 35.

Workaround

For more databases than that, you will need to make use of multiple backup sets. To create an additional backup set, install another ESE Agent and connect it to a different account.
