SQL Server 2005 Log Shipping problem

  • Hi,

    I have setup Log Shipping with SQL Server 2005 on my company's database. Everything works fine till 6:30 AM of the next morning. At 6:30 AM the Log Shipping job fails with the error (*** Error: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup).

    Does this mean that I have to configure the job for doing full database backup daily in morning followed by Log Shipping process. Please clarify.

    Also why the jobs fails exactly at 6:30AM daily. Any particular reason for this because it is not yet 24 hours after configuring the job.

    Any suggessions are appreciated.

    Thanks

    PS

  • Hello

    Have you fixed your problem yet?

    How often are you backing up the transaction logs for shipping? What is the recovery model of your primary database? I am wondering if some kind of operation, like a bulk load, is happening just before 6.30 that requires a backup before a transaction log backup can happen. That was my immediate thought when I saw the error message.

  • I just realised that we are running Re_indexing job just before 6:30 AM. Does Re-Indexing require database backup to be taken again for Log Shipping.
