Lately my SQL Server 2014 (in an AlwaysOn availability group with one active and one passive node) full backups have not been saving to Azure, the logs are saving great, it is just the daily fulls that don't make it. I am using the Managed Backup in SQL
(smart_admin, access key, page blob location, encrypted, etc.) and not the Azure Backup SQL related stuff. They are for some reason being created in my default backup directory locally on the server but as a file name like {GUIDtypeValueHere}59 with no file
extension and the file physically doesn't exist on my disk after the operation is complete. I have attempted to look at the smart_admin logs but for some reason I am unable to get anything to return from my queries. I rebooted the SQL servers and I am able
to get the logs back but there is nothing from the previous days in there now. I was also able to create a one off backup via smart_admin.sp_backup_on_demand and it did create in the Azure storage location so it just seems to be the automated portion of the
full backups which is not functioning for some reason. Anyone run into this before? Or know how to troubleshoot the automated process that is occurring?
