Bandwidth required for Log shipping

  • Hi,

    We are planning to implement Log Shipping for Share point databases in SQL Server 2005.For this I need to give the Network requirements to Network Team. So what are things I need to consider and provide the details to Network team.

    Currently, the log back file size max is 50MB. How we calculate bandwidth for this?

    thanks

  • could you please give me some idea on this.....

  • Well the network team should probably calculate the bandwidth. But for a QUICK ESTIMATE (you really need to test), take your network speed, subtract 20-30% for overhead and calculate the time.

    100Mb ~9MB per second, so say 5 seconds to copy 50MB over 100Mb connection.

    I would just run the TL backups on the regular schedule you plan to use for log shipping and send them a list of files, when they were generated and their sizes.
