Read previous article before this.

Now let’s install Log Shipping via a sample database and visually explain the implementation of Log Shipping. Before starting installation, we can determine the pre-requirements for Log Shipping as follows.

 

  1. Recovery Model must be either Full or Bulk-Logged in the primary database.
  2. There must be a shared folder on the Primary server that the Secondary Server can access. Transaction log backups will be kept in the shared folder and the secondary server will copy these files and restore the backups.
  3. The user to perform the Log Shipping configuration must be sysadmin role.

 

The SQL Server Instance and the status of the Log Shipping process are as follows.

Log Shipping işlemini gerçekleştireceğimiz SQL Server Instance ları ve statüleri aşağıdaki gibidir.

Primary (Production) Database: MYTESTINSTANCE

Secondary (Standby) Database: TEST2008R2

 

After complete the requirements,  now start installation of Log Shipping. I’m creating a sample database and table called TestDatabase, TestTable.
