sql server replication: I have one maintenace plan that backs up the transaction
logs to a network drive:
\\ds1\e$\backup\db1\transact

My log shipping is not working the LSN are not lining up.
I'm guessing because it's pointed at a local drive:
E:\SQL\Logs

My question is this the cause of my problem do both
maintenance plans have to point at the same directory?

Regards,

When I try to apply the logs manually it says:

Server: Msg 3101, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Exclusive access could not be obtained because the
database is in use.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Yet I did the restore with Standy=
Several of the logs were applied according to the log
shipping monitor. What could cause it to suddenly come out
of the proper mode?

Thanks,
Bryan
