I support a company that is using Log Shipping setup by the previous DBA. The log shipping is setup to do the default transaction log backup/ship each 15 min’s, 24 hours a day. Each night I do a Full backup of the Primary database which takes about 30-50 min’s. So during this backup the log backup/ship has occurred several times.
If I should ever be called upon to restore from that previous nights backup I’m not sure how I would proceed. I’ve Googled this and seen that first you should turn Log Shipping off at the primary server, which makes sense. But after I restored the previous nights backup where would I go from there? Could I start restoring those log ship transaction backups? But where would I start, the one after the Full was done, or the first after it started?
