log shipping

  • I want to do log shipping for a production database. My standby server is

    SQL server cluster which is hosting other production databases.

    can standby server be used as production server for other applications.

    if yes, what is the effect of log shipping on other databases on the stand by server

  • a "standby" instance of a database is not an "active" copy.  There is no technical reason why you can't do what you describe; but you will need a separate instance of SQL Server - i.e., separate from the one that is doing "production" work.

    Hopefully you have some hardware that is not production to test this before doing something awful to production.

    Thank-you,
