Any idea to copy a standby/readonly database. We a have a standby/readonly
DB from logshipping for hot standby and we would like to make a copy of this
standby/readonly DB into a read/write DB in the same server for daily
testing. Thanks in advance!Hi Stephanie
Why not take a backup of the original database and restore it?

server and the database is about 50GB. it will be heavy load to copy the
files through the network and time consuming to restore the full backup.

If you had only wanted a readonly database you could have included it in the
log shipping, but I know of a other way of doing this to make it writable.
You may want to look at Litespeed
http://www.quest.com/litespeed_for_sql_server/ to improve the performance and
compression of your backups.

As John suggest, a backup/restore might do the job. Otherwise you can
look at Replication which can replicate your data to another database.
