Hi,
Have set up log shipping and was looking for a a way to take full db backups from warm standby so as to lighten the load on the primary system. Is this possible?
In 'normal' operation (restore with standby) I get Server Msg 3036 Database 'Northwind' is in warm-standby state... but is here any workaround for this?
Thanks
Chidd

Yes if you are in warm standby, then you can setup a job at the secondary to do the full backup. So your database is in read-only mode at the secondary server?

Hi,
yeah the secondary was set up to receive transaction logs via Log Shipping Wizard, it is running WITH STANDBY but how do I get a backup without getting the error message?
(Msg 3036, Level 16, State 1, Line 1, Database 'Northwind' is in warm-standby state (set by executing RESTORE WITH STANDBY) and cannot be backed up until the entire load sequence is completed.)

How can you do the full backup on the warm standby server without running into the eroor "Msg 3036.." ? The only way I can think of is to shut down the SQL server and back up the DB files.
