  • hi,

    i want to implement log ship in our comapny - i know log ship working on log file,

    the problem - as apart of my backup strategy i backup my log every 10 ninute...

    and backup to log clean the log so there is away that sql now to handle with this situation

    or i should to stop backup the log and base on log back from log shiping?

  • I don't think you need to have two different log backup jobs now. Log shipping job on Primary server will do the log backup and copy it over to the secondary server, So, you'll have a copy of your trn file on primary server if needed. You can retain it for whatever time you need.

  • If you're doing log shipping then the log backups done by the log shipping MUST be the only ones you do. If you take other log backups that aren't shipped, log shipping will fail very quickly.

    Log backups form a chain. If you are restoring you need all of them.

    The backup job on the primary server does not copy the log backup to the secondary, the copy job on the secondary server does this!

    Yes you are right.. I typed so fast and forgot to include Secondary server to copy the trn files over... Thanks for the correction...
