Transaction logs are a critical component of SQL Server databases. In this lesson, you'll learn how to perform log shipping to create a backup of the transaction log on another server.
- [Instructor] The transaction log in a SQL installation…is an important file.…Recall your transactions in the database,…such as updates, inserts, and deletes…are written to the transaction log first,…and then to your tables when the database engine…determines it is a good time to do so.…Log shipping offers the following advantages.…It provides a disaster recovery solution,…and it supports limited read-only access to…secondary databases, during the interval…between restore jobs.…It also provides for setting a delay between…when the primary server log backup…and secondary servers restore.…
Why would we use log shipping?…Well, we can automatically send log backups…to a secondary server, if that's what we decide to do.…It preserves those transaction logs…for the recovery later on.…We can also set up a monitoring server,…and this is a third server instance…that acts as a monitor server,…and can actually record the history and status…of the backups and the restores as they take place.…The monitor server can also raise alerts…
