backup of standby database

  • is it possible to take the backup of the standby database(logshipping secondary database)?

  • no its not in a mode where you can do that, without breaking log shipping. As it is a copy of a database anyway there's no need to back it up.

  • thanks for reply george...

    i have a requirement to create a backup job for the secondary database.

    how should i implement this.

  • The backup of the primary database is a backup of the secondary backup. You can get a backup of the Primary database with COPY_ONLY flag so that you don't disrupt any chains of backups.

    But you cannot backup a Standby database.
