Sql server log shipping
-
Friday, November 16, 2012 3:43 PMWhy do we need to create a Transactional Log Backup Settings as well as Copy File folder during log shipping.
Also during restore which folder is used to restore? I have used the following link: http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2301/step-by-step-sql-server-log-shipping/
The network path for copy file is located in \machine1\SQLDBPool_Logshipping_Secondary and the Network path to backup folder is located in \machine1\BackupTransactionallogbackupAbraHRMS_Live Do I store the copy and the backup folder in two separate locations and not on the same server?

As per design, Microsoft allows you to mention2 shared folder one at source server & second at destination server. And copy job will copy the backup files from one shared to second.
If both shared folders are on one server, you have no need to copy backup files 2 times. You can mention same shared folders at both locations.

As suggested I have both shared folder on one server(server1) and I named them as SQLDBPool_Logshipping_Secondary and Backup\Transactionallogbackup\AbraHRMS_Live. I have the Transactional Logbackup setting stored in Backup\Transactionallogbackup\AbraHRMS_Live Do I have to create a separate location for copy files?

you can create on shared folder on your sencondary database machine. If you do not want or your both primary & secondary on same machine (may for testing purpose) then you can mention same backup folder at both location, you have no need to create 2 folder on same machine.Regards,
