What is Log Shipping?Log shipping defines the process for automatically taking backup of the database and transaction files on a SQL Server and then restoring them on a standby/backup server. This keeps the two SQL Server instances in sync with each other. In case production server fails, users simply need to be pointed to the standby/backup server.
Log shipping primarily consists of 3 operations:
Backup transaction logs of the Production server.
Copy these logs on the standby/backup server.
Restore the log on standby/backup server.What is Log Shipping?Log shipping enables high availability of database. It the process of shipping the transaction log to another server. It copies the replica of the database. Both the databases are in synch. In case of failure of primary server or database, the secondary server can be used.
