The problematic issue, correct me if I'm wrong, is keeping track of which files to restore, and dealing with a possible loss of a log from the source. &nbsp;So if I am processing a log restore every &nbsp;30 minutes; and for some reason one or more logs are not created or not accessible, I may miss something.

Yes, that is true; but I'm going into a situation where only the log files will be provided.

Hi all,<br />
is there a documented process to do replication with log shipping where the only thing available to the destination database is the log files? &nbsp;If not I will have to setup an SSIS package to do restores of the log files to the destination database, which seems problematic?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

SQL Log Shipping without connecting to both servers

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that can be used to perform a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases and updates to multidimensional cube data. SSIS replaced Data Transformation Services, which had been a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.

SSIS

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
