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.

This process synchronizes two SQL servers and thus provides ready server in case one fails. It automatically backup transaction log file throughout the day and restore them on the standby server.

Define Log shipping.

Log shipping is the process of shipping or automatically sending the transaction log which is already backed up at the primary server, to the secondary server. Once the log is copied to the secondary server instance, it is restored. The log can be shipped from one primary server instance to multiple secondary server instances. Log shipping increases data availability because if the primary database becomes unavailable, any of the secondary databases can be brought online manually.
