How to synch the DB between 2 servers

  • Hi

    I have 2 server PROD n DR server all the PROD server DB is synched to DR server through log shipping. Now to chk whether the DR server is working or not in case of any disaster we shut down the PROD server now all the app request is handled by DR server,it is working fine. For 1 week we work in DR server now its time to move back to PROD server so that all the 1 week data in DR server should be replicate back to PROD server. Log shipping is deleted once the DR Server is up.

    What r the options other than Backup? It is SQL 2012

  • Since you are using SQL server 2012, you could do the complete set up using HADR. If you are using Log shipping then you have no other option than Back up and restore or setting Logshipping back to the original server.

  • Roy thanks for the reply

    let suppose I am using Always on with Availability group for DR.

    Then how to replicate back the data to PROD

  • When you are using Availability Group set up, you just fail over to your secondary. The secondary becomes the primary and data will be replicated back by itself. So you dont need to do anything special. Look up setting up HADR and you will gets all the info you need.
