Removing Log Shipping

You can remove log shipping from a primary database by disabling it in SQL Server Management Studio or by using the log shipping Transact-SQL stored procedures. When you remove log shipping from a database, all log shipping related jobs and schedules will be removed, along with log shipping history and error information. The databases themselves on both the primary and secondary servers will not be changed.

Important

  If you are planning to delete a database that is part of a log shipping configuration, remove log shipping first.
