Method of providing standby

hi all, I am considering what should be the best way of implementing
the following requirement.

I've got a SQL2K production server. Now I've got another machine as the
standby machine for this server
so I'm thinking what method should I be using for this.

Should I be using log shipping or Replication? Or if it's replication,
what kind of replications
should it be?

I am thinking maybe snapshot replication can be just fine, right?

Hi

Log shipping is the least intrusive as it requires no table changes.

Replication, IMHO, is a bad form of DR as you can not be guaranteed the time
lag between the primary and secondary being updated.

After researching a bit, I agree with your suggestion.

But the problem is, the SQL2K is just a standard edition and can we
implement log shipping on it? I know log shipping is available only in
EE but is there a way to get it works in standard edition?

I seem to remember that there's a trimmed down log shipping tool for
Standard Edition in the MSSQL Resource Kit. Or you could implement your
own solution - this article discusses MSSQL 7, but you could also apply
it to MSSQL 2000:

db2 8.1 fix pack 12 on AIX 5.3 This is a newly configured HADR machine. The HADR was up and running. I was 'playing' around some on the standby and did a db2 deactivate and things sort of went down hill from there. Though the Standby machine seemed to know it was a standby it would not connect to the primary. I could not even do a db2 get snapshot to view the hadr status on the machine. I was wanting to do a few HADR tests before I...

I would like to make a split mirror copy of a HADR standby database. Please note that I do not want to create a standby with a split mirror of the primary, but I want to make a split mirror of the standby (for a reporting database). I know that I cannot do a write suspend on the standby because it does not allow any connections. But what if I just did a split mirror of the standby, do a db2inidb, then ship the logs over to the split...

Hi, I've realized that my good fortune of not having my computer go into standby mode was the result of my application accessing a file on a shared network drive.
