Is anyone truncating the tlog on the primary server? Are tlog backups happening outside of the log shipping maintenance plan? Check the SQL Server Error Log on the secondary server for the exact RESTORE error and post it here.

Thanks for the reply Tara.

Actually there was a job scheduled which was truncating the logs.

Really thankful to you...

You're welcome.

There should never be a job in place that truncates the logs. If one exists, then it's from a lack of understanding backups and restores.
