| I need to implement a dirt cheap replication method for some dirt cheap servers. We are using the SQL Server workgroup license. Is there anything in this that prevents using log shipping for replication in Workgroup versus Enterprise? Thanks Travis |

In any case, log shipping requires copying files from one server's filesystem to another, so you would need to use service accounts which have those permissions. Apart from that, there are other options, including rolling your own solution: http://sqlguy.home.comcast.net/logship.htm http://www.sql-server-performance.co...g_shipping.asp MSSQL replication might also be a possibility, depending on what you're trying to achieve, but it's not really viable to build any sort of "dirt cheap" highly available system, if only because of operations costs, ie. making sure there is always someone there to respond when you need them.
