SQLServer log shipping file size limit

I'm trying to limit the size of individual files that are transferred as part of log shipping (as I am using WebDAV for transport).

I want to ensure that no trn files are created that are more than a certain size (e.g. 16MB) as it seems to choke WebDAV.

I note from the output of sqllogship.exe, that it states:

Max Transfer Size: Not Specified

Can this be configured?

Thanks Andy

  • I don't think what you're trying to achieve is possible (and Damien_The_Unbeliever's comment seems to back this view up).

    As far as I can see, the only approach you can take is to schedule you log backups frequently enough that the file size limit isn't reached.
