Log shipping

  • I configured logshiping in my production database (15 mins interval)

    also i take full backups on sunday, differential backup on weekdays and logbackup for every 1 hour

    Whether the above mentioned manual backup affect the logshiping???

    Plz reply??

  • No regular backups like full and differential doesn't affect logshipping.

  • But I think Logbackup can break LSN no. used in logshipping.

  • Any log backups that you take on a DB that's the source of logshipping must be shipped to the secondary machine and applied. If you don't, the log backups taken after that will not apply. You'll get an error about LSN mismatch.

    The full and diff backups are fine.

  • Since you are already backing up the transaction log every 15 minutes in your log shipping setup, is there really a need to have another job that backs it up every hour?

    If you really do need to do that, you would need to restore those hourly log backups on the secondary server too. You would need to sort them out first though, using either the file timestamp as a guide, or the backup details stored in msdb..backupset and msdb..backupmediafamily.
