Bad transaction Log file in Log Shipping

  • I have transaction log shipping set up for a large database with no problems for the last 6 months. A transaction log backup incurred an I/O error with all subsequent backups successful. The restore process is now failing as the 1 file can not be verified and all other files are out of sequence. Any options for repairing or bypassing the file in question? I am making alternate plans to reinitialize the database but due to its size it is a lengthy and tedious process.

  • If you have a log backup damaged and no copy of it, then you'll either have to reinitialise or use a differential backup to bridge the gap in the log chain.
