log shipping, database already restored.

  • I am doing log shipping from server A to Server B. I have already restored the database (adventrueworks) on server B (from taking backup from server A)

    My question is should I put the database on server B on norecovery mode and start log shipping OR should I delete database on Server B and start Log shipping all over again???

    What is the procedures if server A and serve B have the same database (server B database is restored from server A database backup)

    Any suggestions???

  • Yes the database on ServerB should be in NORECOVERY, you can select "the secondary db is already initialized" in the wizard.

  • You can't put a database in norecovery. You have to restore it WITH NORECOVERY (or WITH STANDBY).
