Log Shipping, daily backup's on primary

  • I have log shipping configured to send logs from primary to secondary every 20 mins, all day long.

    I also have a daily backup (full backup)job that runs on the primary database. How does this effect log shipping transaction logs that get shipped to secondary. Do I need to refresh the database on the secondary?Should I have any concerns?

  • The full backups should not affect the log shipped databases.

  • as elliot said, no.

  • Thanks!

  • The only backup which could adversely affect logshipping is a log backup from another source, such as a manual transaction log backup. This would break the LSN chain.

  • how about diff. backups? will this break LSN?

    Directly, no. Indirectly for the reason listed below

    No

    It will break the differential base LSN between the primary and secondary until the databases are in synch.
