SQL Server 2000 SP4 was used to set up log shipping in this example.

 
  NOTE: Before setting up log shipping, you need to first register the primary, secondary and monitor servers in Enterprise Manager. The secondary server may also be used as the monitor server, but you should use a different server if possible so that you are alerted when the secondary server fails.  
 

   Step 1 - registering the necessary servers

   Step 8 - log shipping destination details   
ls2000_08_a

   Step 9 - confirming the log shipping destination   
ls2000_09_a

   Step 10 - initializing the destination databases   
ls2000_10_a
   Step 11 - log shipping schedules   
ls2000_11_a
   Step 12 - log shipping alert thresholds
