Set up Log Shipping off an already existing full backup and tran log backup

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm a little new with log shipping implementation. I have a full backup of my target db and then a tran log backup after that. I want to restore both of those to a secondary server and leave the server in stand-by mode. I restored the full just fine, and it created the ROLLBACK_UNDO.BAK file. My question is how do I apply that as I restore the tran log after that. When I attempted it went to create the the ROLLBACK_UNDO.BAK file again (with the same name). Shouldn't the orig one be applied during the tran log restore and then a new file get created that gets applied by the log shipping once that starts running?

    Thanks in advance,

    Arturo

  • I see it was a silly question now. All but the last restores should be RESTORE WITH NO RECOVERY and the last restore can be the one with RESTORE WITH STANDBY.
