SQL 2005 Log Shipping

  • Hi Newbie,

    Attempted to set up log shipping by right clicking database selecting Transaction Log Shipping and then completing the options.

    I am sure that the options are correct but I get an error[5] indicating no permission to read the .bak file.

    The folder and the file have have read permissions for everyone.

    If I restore the database then it reads the .bak with no permission problems.

    Obviously I am missing something crutial. Any ideas?

    Thanks

  • Is backup location is local?

    Under what account sql agent service is running?

    I think You should be sysadmin on both servers to configure log shipping...

    You have to have read/write permission to the folder...

  • Thank You all for responding

    The problem was mine. Didnt read the requirements fully enough.

    Problem lay with sql server agent permissions.
