Hi all,
I am new to SQLserver.
I have a 2 node WSFC with node1 hosting the primary replica and node2 the secondary replica.
Synchronous sync with manual failover is configured for the replicas.
I intend to use my secondary replica for backup and read only traffic.
However, thinking back a core theory that I have read previously, transaction logs are only truncated/reuse when they are backup.
q1) Does that means I have to
- a) backup the database and transaction logs as usual in the secondary replica
- b) backup the transaction logs in the primary replicaeven though no backup is done on it so as to prevent the transaction logs in the primary replica from growing ?
q2) can the transactions logs backup in the primary replica be use in the restoration of the secondary replica with the secondary replica backup ? or I should just delete way the primary replica transaction logs backup
What is the simple , newbie but proper setup for such scenario above ?
Regards,
Noob
