Help! Problem in Log shipping !

  • I want to setup a warm standby server using log shippnig. I have 2 SQLServer SP3, both have same setting, and use windows local administrator account login(none of them in a domain) , but when i start maintainence plan, there is an error said can't wirte to the standby server.

    My question is: I must setup a windows domain, then using same domain account to login both server to establish a standby server?

    or I am something wrong ? or there is a way to setting log shipping between 2 Server that not in a domain?

    thanks a lot !

  • No one know about this?

  • When you set up the log shipping, you must specify a shared forlder in the stand by server, so SQL can put all the logs backup in that folder. You should use for SQL Server Agent, a login account that has access to that folder.

  • You can copy the whole database daily or twice a day and Logshipping every hour in the above method racosta suggested.

    .

  • The production server does nothing other than generate transaction backups. Drop your transaction logs on the production server.

    SQLServerAgent on the stand by server should be started with an account login that has access to the production server file share that the transaction logs are going to. Use a copy job to pull the transaction logs.

    I Log ship about 60 databases here.

    Cheers

    Will setup Log shipping for food
