Log Shipping

  • Hi all,

    I just inherited Log Shipping in my new place from a non-DBA, and it stopped working.

    Now, I'm trying to get it to work but there's a gap in the sequence. It's asking me to restore earlier TRN files, which have been deleted already.

    Can anyone tell me what my options are? Is it possible to salvage the existing configuration by re-initializing the database with a backup, or should I delete and start from scratch.

    Thanks in advance.

  • should be able to salvage current set up.

    disable the log shipping jobs

    delete (or move to another directory) any tran log backups in source and destination folders (leave redo file)

    backup primary database

    copy to secondary and restore with replace, norecovery

    re-enable log shipping jobs and do a trial log backup, copy, restore to prove functioning.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Thank you.

    I ended up recreating from scratch.
