What are the advantages of log shipping?

Answer Posted / Ashvani Deepak

"Log shipping provides several advantages in SQL Server. Here are a few key benefits:
1. Data Protection: Log shipping ensures that data is protected by maintaining a standby server with transaction logs, allowing for recovery in case of a primary server failure.
2. Redundancy and Disaster Recovery: Log shipping enables the creation of redundant databases, improving business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.
3. Offload Reporting Load: Log shipping can be used to offload reporting loads from production servers by using the standby server for read-intensive activities.
4. Minimal Downtime: In case of a failure, switching over to the standby database allows for minimal downtime compared to other recovery methods.
5. Automatic Transaction Log Backup: Log shipping automates the process of transaction log backup on the primary server, reducing manual intervention and potential errors.
