3241 error

  • i am getting a 3241 error when restoring logs in log shipping. the log is not over 1 gig so the help on kb is not very helpful anybody have an idea

  • What exactly the error message says? What is the severity it shows?

  • Try launching the trace flag 3111 and see. Even though MS KB says it will happen only if the transaction log back size more than 4GB, I’ve seen this on one of the server with T-Log backup around 500MB
