Replicate encountered third-party backup files during preliminary processing. As the 'Use third-party backup device' option is currently disabled

[HOASTONGE]

Hello team,
Could you please explain more about this to me?
Because you say that If you are using virtual backups as your regular backup option for SQL Server, then you will need to do both steps."

1. These steps are for whom to do? for SQL source side / Qlik Replicate side.

2. If it's Replicate side, do we need to add any internal parameter at Source endpoint?

But if I take my point of view, that is to say that I am the person for Qlik Replicate and not the person for SQL DBA, I have no idea if the server used on the other side of the world has a backup of some type or other that says what should I do if I encounter this error. If I am the manager of Qlik Replicate and I only read the data into an ERP system

I hate to see that error : Replicate encountered third-party backup files during preliminary processing. As the 'Use third-party backup device' option is currently disabled, these files will not be processed for changes. 

Do I need to select what .. I'm just reading on ERP I'm not the one who are manage the ERP (Database backup)

Hello @HOASTONGE ,

Thanks for reaching out to Qlik Community!

You need to identify if you are using a 3rd party backup as opposed to native SQL Server approach. Virtual log backups were support , the detailed setup steps can be found at third-party backup files during preliminary processing.

Hope this helps.

John.

Hello @HOASTONGE 

This means that if the task needs to reference a backup log, we will not be able to as that file will be in the 3rd party format.

Please check with your DBA whether the 3rd party backup is in the Native format. If it is not in the Native format then the only option is to use online logs only with sp_repldone.

Regards,

Suresh
