Hi All, I'm in the process of setting up log shipping for several SQL 2008 DB's. Everything works fine using a small test DB, but for the next step, I need to configure Log shipping for a 100+GB DB that will be backed up and shipped across a 35Mbps WAN link. If I select to backup that DB using the Log Shipping Wizard and it takes 8+ hours, do I need to be concerned about any changes that have occurred since the start of the backup or will it automatically know which transaction logs to apply after the backup completes? If you've setup something similar, are there any gotchas or best practices I should be aware of when setting up log shipping for a large DB across a WAN link? *This DB gets moderate use and we don't need an aggressive RPO so I'll probably opt for a 30 minute schedule for Log Shipping jobs.
Thanks!
