Log Shipping Deltas only

  • Noob question in regards to Log Shipping.

    Being as the file copy job is set to kick off every 15 minutes, is it safe to assume that it's just copying the DB Changes (Deltas) not the entire DB?

    If it is doing the whole thing, is it possible to set log shipping to only copy up the Deltas? Perhaps in setting up another job?

    LS is sending it's info to a DR site, across the pond. I don't have dedicated bandwidth between the two, so would like to stream line things into size-able, burst-able chunks.

    Thought and Opinions?

  • You might want to read up on log backups, so that you understand what they are.

    Not deltas exactly, lists of operations that have occurred in the DB.
