Configuring NetBackup to support database log-shipping

Log shipping is a SQL Server feature that may be employed to enhance the overall availability of your installation. It uses a primary server, which contains the active database, a monitor, and one or more secondary servers. Under log shipping, copies of the transaction log are supplied to the secondary servers on a per-transaction basis to the secondary servers. This configuration allows each secondary server to be in a standby state in case the primary goes offline.

To use log-shipping with NetBackup, both the primary and the secondary should be set up as clients of the same master server. You must disable log truncation for the transaction log backups.
