SQL server 2008 R2 log shipping wizard not showing backup compression option

  • log ship wizard in 2K8R2 Std not showing compression option,but compression column is present in log_shipping_primary_databases. The option should still show in the wizard rite? Am i missing something?

    Did any one else had this issue?

  • Any ideas anyone?

    Many thanks.

  • Hi,

    I have the same problem.

    Did you already found a solution?

  • The system table’s structure remains same irrespective of server edition. The features availability is dependent on the edition (license / key). These are two independent facts.

    Backup compression is available in SQL Server 2008 R2 Std.

    Try the following against your primary database and check the value of the backup_compression column

    exec sys.sp_help_log_shipping_primary_database @database = 'yourdb'

    Use the following to enable compression

    exec sys.sp_change_log_shipping_primary_database @database = 'yourdb',

    @backup_compression = 1

  • Thanks for the info, but that doesn't explain why I don't have the backup compression option in the log shipping wizard of the Management Studio, however, I'm using the 2008 R2 SP1 SSMS and my server is SQL 2008 R2 SP1...

  • What version is the secondary?

  • Problem is when setting up the log shipping on the primary.

    No secondary is involved yet.

  • Ah right ok.

    Try switching compression on using the command above see if it throws an error message, this may give a clearer indication.

    Can you go to the Transaction log backup settings dialog and get a screenshot, are you saying the compression drop down list box is unavailable?

  • Same problem here, executing the commands did not give me any errors, but like Pieter said, there is no option available in the wizard (screenshot)
