Simple Recovery and Log Shipping

I have logshiping running from 6am - 11pm and a scheduled backup of production database running @ 10pm nightly.

Due to the activity of our database we need to run REINDEX a couple of times a week (Tues and Sat at 0100)

Since the first step of the job is to set the DB to Simple Recovery - will this always mess up the log shipping restore that happens @ 0600?

Thanks

    Thank you for your post into forum.

    Can you please modify your re-indexing job to use the BULK_LOGGED recovery model.

    You can switch between FULL and BULK_LOGGED recovery models without the need to perform a full backup and this should not mess up your log shipping scenario.

    Further advice can be found in the following SQL Server 2005 Books On-Line Artilces:
