Yes, but actually I need to take backup of those log shipped databases daily, and take them to tape.

I cant take backups from the source server, because if I take, I need to tranfer it too to the disaster recovery server. It is not possible to be done daily because the DB size is over 100 GB, and the sites are different.

In the log shipped server, I cant take backups because it can be either in Recovering mode or in Standby mode.

Is there a workaroung for this issue?
