is there a good proceedure for transfering DB files from one server to
another for failover. To clairify, I have 2 servers one primary the other
backup. I want to regularly transfer the DB from one to the other so that if
the primary fails they can switch to the backup and the DB will be fairly
recent, within one to two hours.
I am already backing up the primary DB every hour.
Thanks,
Ed

See Log Shipping in BOL.

Peter as mentioned in the link below, people can use they're own scripts for
Log Shipping if they're not on EE.

See this: http://www.sql-server-performance.c...p

Ahh excellent :-)
BOL states that Log Shipping as EE only

I will dig into the article as we also occasionally needs a hot standby
server without resorting to a clustered solution
(customer requests)

Cool. As you will read, Log Shipping is nothing more than a glorified
backup/ restore. I've written my own 3 times and don't know that I would
even use the GUI now as with mine I know exactly whats going on.
