Log shipping error

  • Every now and again I get the error below when the log shipping restore job runs even though the database is in (Standby / ReadOnly) mode. The error is only intermittent and so on the next restore it could work fine.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Error: The restore operation cannot proceed because the secondary database 'MyDatabase' is not in NORECOVERY/STANDBY mode.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.LogShipping)

  • Hi,

    Hi,

    While Configure the secondary database settings.. You should select

    either NoRecovery Mode/Standby mode. Because if you select norecovery mode,

    sqlserver will understand to restore an other continous backups.In this mode, you are not able

    to view the database.

    If you select stand by mode,sqlserver will understand to restore an other continous backups. In this mode, you are able to view the database.

    you should check it for the disconnected users in the databases when restoring backups.

    if it's uncheck for this option, while restoring error will occurred.

    Thanks & Regards

  • Hi Balaji,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have Standby Mode selected, and I have also selected Disconnect users in the database when restoring backups.

  • I think someone has made the database online with following command

    RESTORE <database> WITH RECOVERY

    Check the SQL Server log for following message:

    Restore is complete on database 'database'. The database is now available.
