Hello All,

Can I move the sql log files from one server to another server? I know we can move the log files to another drive on the same server but I am not sure if we can move them to another server all together.

Can anyone tell me the answer?

Thanks

Database files must be kept on the same server. This includes .MDF, .LDF, and .NDF files. You can optionally move the entire database to another server, by detaching the database, moving all associated files, and reattaching to a database engine on another server, though.

I know they must be kept on the same server. But is it possible to keep them on the different server?

You can copy it to anywhere, but any reason for that?
