Hello ewangoya:<br />
<br />
To my original quesion, will the scenario works, where in if the In the event of Data Centre going down, can we direct users manually to secondary log shipping server in DR centre?<br />
<br />
Log shipping from the Data Centre to DR is over the wire scheduled for every 4 hours.<br />
<br />
Please advise.

<div>
<br />
It should work, just remember to change the database from stand by mode<br />
4 hours does seem a bit of a stretch unless they don't do allot of edits

Hello there,<br />
<br />
I am planning to set-up Log shipping in Database mirroring for DR failover. I will be using Principal server in Data Centre to be Log shipping Primary Server and a server in DR site to be secondary standby server. Log shipping to be scheduled every 4 hours between sites.<br />
In the event of Data Centre going down, secondary log shipping server in DR centre can be manaully connected to users.<br />
<br />
Has any one tried this before?Is this a possible solution for DR/<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />
<br />
Thanks and Regards
