SQL Server 2000 Log Shipping

KH — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:41:27 +0000

Hi

I have an issue with my logship server (SQL 2000). I logship every 10 mins from production to backup server, all has been working fine, until today when a network issue caused a logfile which i use to restore was corrupted.

I need to make the Logship DB Live to retrieve some data

I run “RESTORE DATABASE CLIENT_A WITH NO RECOVERY”

but i get the following error message.

File ‘log_file1′ was partially restored by a database or file restore. The entire file must be successfully restored before applying the log.

Is there anyway i can bring the DB back to Life. Please i would really appreciate any help on this issue.

Thanks

SQL Server 2005 Log Shipping question

Lorelei — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:27:24 +0000

I have setup log shipping on our production SQLServer to send the logs to a server I have at my home for a warm backup solution. The process seemed to work but then I had a problem on my secondary server – it seemd to stop working for a period of 2 weeks (I dont know why – I could not login to it and had to power it off to reset it)and I didnt notice until I did a random check. My question is will log shipping survive if the receiving server goes off line for 2 weeks ? When I bring it back on line does it go and collect all the logs it hasnt yet seen and RESTORE them correctly ? The reason I ask is because I am now seeing errors saying “cannot be restored due to a “gap in the log chain” how do I solve this issue ?

Copying our disaster recovery database on a SQL Server

We are using log shipping on our SQL Server as our disaster recovery solution. When we want to test our disaster recovey with a test transaction, not production, we need to use the secondary copy. However, we don’t want to stop it and lose consistency between disaster recovery and the production copy. How can we quickly get a copy of our disaster recovery database that will reside on the same server?

I’m using log shipping for my DR. When I want to test my DR, I need to access my DR database and do my tests (and modify it).

sql 2005 log shipping versus DoubleTake for MS SQL 2005

tcstl — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:35:47 +0000

We were going to use log shipping from a cluster back to a dr site in a different city. Our network Operations folks want us to use a product called DoubleTake for MS SQL 2005. Anyone had any experience or insight with this. Log shipping has worked for us for 8 years, and if I am going to change I want confidence in the product we are going to.
