log file deleted

  • if any of the log backup file is deleted ,,,, is it possible to resume logshipping without reconfiguring/full backup and how ??

  • No. Deleted log file breaks the log chain (among the nasty things if can do), so you need a full or diff backup (probably full) applied to the secondary to restart log shipping.

    Don't delete the log. It's not an optional file.

  • Just to clarify further...

    Only if you didn't apply any Tlog backup your diff backup will work. Differential backup can't be apply on secondary server if subsequent tlog backups have successfully applied on secondary server and missing a tlog backup.

  • to clarify free_mascots point, you can restore from a differential if a full backup has not been taken of the primary at a point after the last successful log restore.
