Hi,
I have sql server 2008 logshipping.It has broken because some Transaction files from DR Site folder has deleted.Therefore except restore job all other jobs are working fine.I have checked TUF file is also in place.
The DB size is 16 GB and it is around 4 months old happening.
Now what I am going to do Stopping all the jobs of Logshipping and restore a full backup of production database to Dr site and start all the jobs as usual.
My question is : Will it be successful or will it break the logshipping?

It's already broken, no? Which means your DR site is way out of sync if it has been happening for four months.

First, I'd figure out why some log files at the dr site have been mysteriously deleted.

I believe that log shipping should restart. Move over a full backup and then only log files since the full backup completed and log shipping should be able to pick back up.

Hi Steve,

1.The servers are in XYZ domain.

2.Actually the site was 4 month before and the sa password and the Windows login XYZ\NOC_Admin(using to configure logshipping)password has forgotten.

3.Can I restore the database using my local administrator ID.Beause on DR site the shared folder is not accessible using the local administrator ID yet the copy job is working,I have checked this by seeing the time stamp of theshared folder.

This is the time of need,I know u all will be surprising.

Thanks

If your Tran log broken then you have to reconfigure it. But your case you just take the differential backup and then start transaction log backup again without restoring Full backup.
