Log Shipping Out of sync error.

  • Hi,

    What is the quickest way to recover from the problem for a very large data base?

    Thanks!!

  • Quickest would likely be to sort out your sync issue. Where are the logs? Do you have any confidence in being able to get back on track without rebuilding? How big is the database?

    If you cannot sort it out then you'll need to rebuild. Remove log shipping, then recreate log shipping from a full backup of the primary.

  • Thanks for your answer!!

    I get 14420 and 14421 error messages.

    The database is bigger than 1TB.

    What do you mean by sort out? Do you mean get it running again?

    I would like to get it working again without a rebuild since it takes too

    much time, but I'm not sure what other options there are?

    OK, that is a different issue than what I thought. I thought you got out of sequence with your log backups and restores meaning, like a broken log chain, or someone taking a manual log backup and you not being able to get to it...what you are experiencing is a delay in your log backups and restores, i.e. you are not broken, just behind.

    Description of error message 14420 and error message 14421 that occur when you use log shipping in SQL Server

    Article says it applies to SQL 2000 and 2005 but all info is still relevant for 2008.
