logshipping is out of synch need to debug

  • Hi

    We have logshipping which get out of synch in night due to purging process of production but iy eventually gets synhced by morning .But now its taking time to get in synch.I want to check how much time its takes to copy log backup files and then how much it take to restores and further why it took high amount of time for restoration .

    I know i can see duration in agent history but it get purged so its it possible to get data from system tables ? if yes then which one should i look for

    and how to find log restore duration time ?

    It purely dr server with database in recovery mode

    You can also get the log shipping status report from server right click report --> Transaction Log Shipping Status.

     

    also can get the backup file and restore files with timestamps from tables msdb..log_shipping_monitor_primary and msdb..log_shipping_monitor_secondary in respective servers

  • Hi

    So actual issue is  log restoration is taking time . Need to debug it.Can anybody provide pointers why ist taking time to restore log backup files

    Its dedicated dr server so no other query runs and database is in norecovery mode. Its not disk latency issue as it eventually catches up but durning morning time when purging and index  executes at same time in prod then size of log files get increased and its those which are taking tome to get restored .So need to dug up and provide some solution

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • How often does the log backup agent job run?

    The purging is causing the log file to grow--> Increases the backup & restore operation duration

    Same is the case with index manipulation.

  • Try beefing up your DR with more CPU and RAM so it can restore faster.  Some companies setup DR servers on lower resources from PRD in order to save costs.  Also check and store the transaction logs in Premium SSD disks for faster restore performance.
