Overview of my database: size - 45 GB, Full Recovery Mode, Log shipping ever 15 minutes; Full Backup nightly; Optimization and integrity checks on Sunday night.
The Database takes a transactional log every 15 minutes and ships it to our failover database. Usually these are small logs and are executed in matter of seconds.
On sunday night there is a problem. The optimization job (part of DB maintenance plan) runs for 3 hours and during this time the transactional log backup continues to runs and takes close to 4 hours of complete. When the tran log completes its close to a 30 GB file and this is causing problems with space and shipping. This also causes the failover server to be out of sync and at times we have to re setup log shipping.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get around this problem. Appreciate all help and comments.Its common to bulge Tlog when db maintenance plan perform DB optimization process and its better to pause Log shipping during this operation and take full backup once Maint.plan finishes the task and apply to standby server, then re-enable LS process.|||Thanks.
Is there a way to automate the pause of the TLog backup? I hate to be up at 3 in the morning to disable/enable the jobs manually.
