Good Day,

We implemented Log shipping between 2 of our SQL Server 2005 servers . Afew day later tables were created on the Live database .The restore jobs were successful. We checked the Errorlogs of SQL Server and the report files of Log Shipping . They confirmed that the Logshiping was cmaking successful Log backups, copying the files successfully to the standby server and the restores were done successfully on the standby server However when we tested failover on the staandby server , the tables were not created . Do we have to do a full backup and then reactivate Log shipping after a table was created ? Is the Transaction log not supposed to be a record of all the transactions executed on the database ? Before I foreget, the database was set to Full Recovery Mode . We compared the report files of both servers and the Logdump files were identical and no file was left out .



Please assist with this tricky scenario.



Regards.

Lian

Maybe you want to investigate MSDB..backupsets and restore history entries to find whether they are there or not.See date as well.

Your log shipping is not working or you didn't failover properly as this is impossible to happen with log shipping.
