Logshipping Issue

  • Hi all,

    I setup a log shipping between databases across two instances. the setup was complete. But when i see the error log i got this message.

    Progress,1,QBSRECPU04,LSBackup_IPE_QUOTE_OCT_17,Log shipping backup log job step.,,2013-06-25 10:00:13.19*** Error: Backup failed for Server 'QBSRECPU04'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended) ***<nl/>2013-06-25 10:00:13.22*** Error: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) ***<nl/>2013-06-25 10:00:13.22*** Error: Cannot open backup device 'd:\Log_shipping_shared\IPE_QUOTE_OCT_17_20130625043012.trn'.

  • The clue lies with "The system cannot find the path specified".

    Check that the path you have specified for your backups exists and that the account log shipping is running under has permissions to read and write to that location.

  • How to check that account log shipping is running under has permissions to read and write to that location.

  • Note down the service account your sql agent running.

    then Right click the folder your trn backup files are there -> security tab-> check there if account has Full permission.

  • Primary server's service account should have write privileges on the backup folder and Secondary server's service account should have read privileges on the backup folder.

    Let any one know if i am wrong?

    Thanks,
