I have a log shipping process running and the machine on which the subscriber is sync'ing is IO constrained. Is it possible to set Recovery Mode on the subscriber DB to SIMPLE? I know FULL is required on the publisher but is strikes me that when transactions are being applied to the subscriber there should be no need to log those transactions again. I'm simply looking for ways to reduce the IO's and therefore the IO waits for activity on the subscriber machine which is also used for other production purposes.
