Breaking log shipping

  • Hi all,

    Fully backed up a primary DB, and restored on secondary server from a full backup on the primary late this afternoon. However, we have 3rd party software that calls SQL to do a full backup every evening, so would it be ok to set up log shipping in the morning, or would any transactions that occurred between the 2 backups not be included in the first shipped log?

    Cheers,

    BLL

  • You will need to do the LS configuration in one day if you are doing daily full backups. If you cannot do this then I would suggest taking a differential backup one night instead, then you can restore the diff then continue with the logshipping configuration.

  • Full backups don't affect log backups. As long as you have a full to start LS, and all the logs since the full, you are OK.
