Looking for db replication tool

[BobF]

I'd like to use log shipping to provide warm backup to some production
MSFT SQL 2000 servers. I know that I can write something to ship logs
but I'm looking for a complete solution that would take a while to
write. Prefer not to upgrade to SQL enterprise (too costly). Is
there a tool that provides a robust solution? ... deletes old log
files, logs events, does backups, failure notification, recreates
schemas, etc.

Although I haven't used it, I believe there is such a tool in the BORK
4.5. (Back Office Resource Kit)

Hi

SQL Server professional ran a couple of articles for rolling your own log
shipping. but you have to be a subscriber to see them
