I’m fairly new to Log Shipping but have configured a few with no issues, however I have a server sitting on SQL 2008 R2 with 6 databases on there, all 6 of these are supposed to be log shipping. The issue I have is that for some reason one of the larger databases stopped shipping so I removed the Log Shipping and reinstated it from scratch for every 15 minutes. First of all my copy jobs are all working fine, it appears to be the restore jobs that are having a problem. Even though I have just taken a backup of one of the databases and restored it to the LS and then kicked of shipping again, the Restore job has a long list of:
“Skipped log backup file. Secondary DB….”
messages and does this for every 15 minute file for the past 24 hours. One of the last messages states:
“Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database”
What I don’t understand is why is log shipping trying to restore all log files for the past 24 hours when I have just taken a full backup.
I get another message stating:
“Could not find a log backup file that could be applied to secondary database”
which I don’t understand as I can see files that are sitting there waiting to restore.
