We are running SQL Server 2000 (sp3a) on Windows 2003 clustered. We are just starting to use Log Shipping for Disaster Recovery. Basically shipping the logs across the MAN to another building and restoring there. To be honest I inherited the Archiving solution we have in place and as such had not thought of using Log Shipping. I'll certainly give it some thought. Without going into too much detail, we have a number of activities which take place at quarter end which may complicate things. But thanks very much for the input. Well worth discussing further here with our corporate DBA. Derek
