Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or SQL 2008 R2 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2008 SP1 or SQL 2008 R2 fix release.
Symptoms
Assume that an application tries to use Virtual Backup Device Interface (VDI) to back up some data in a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 instance. In this situation, the application may stop responding and you may be unable to cancel the backup operation. Additionally, an error message that resembles the following may be logged in the SQL Server error log:
<Date Time> spid<n> Error: 18210, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<Date Time> spid<n> BackupMedium::ReportIoError: write failure on backup device 'HotSrc'. Operating system error 39(The disk is full.).
Internal I/O request 0x0000000083A97CD0: Op: Write, pBuffer: 0x0000000000DA0200, Size: 512, Position: 0, SOS: Internal: 0x0, InternalHigh: 0x0, Offset: 0x0, OffsetHigh: 0x0, m_buf: 0x0000000000DA0200, m_len: 512, m_actualBytes: 0, m_errcode: 39, BackupFile: HotSrc
Cause
This issue occurs because the application expects VDI to send a command to close the VDI connection when the backup operation is complete. However, VDI does not send the command as expected.
