Remote Transaction - ReleaseSchemaLock Failure

Remote restore question

Hello everyone,
Quick question. We perform db backups at 10pm on a certain database
that is about 12 gig. Then the transaction log is backed up every
hour. We'd like to restore this database to another off site server,
then apply the logs to keep it in sync w/ production. I've tested this
and it seems to work fine. My only question is regarding the full
backups that are performed every night. Due to bandwidth limitations,
we can't get the full db backup to the remote server in a reasonable
amount of time (the logs can make it over within one hour no problem).
Can we just keep restoring the logs on the remote server without the
nightly db backups being restored? I guess I'm asking if the full db
backup does anything to the log (empties it or the like) that would
make the dbs out of sync?
Thanks in advance.That would be fine. This is one of the reasons why a full backup doesn't
truncate the transaction log. But I suggest you have operational
instructions readily available on how to do this manually, in case the log
restores becomes out of sync, for any reason...

> Thanks in advance.|||You can restore logs in sequence on a SQL 7.0 or 2000 and ignore intervening
full backups. This is intentional so that if a full backup goes bad, you
can go to an older full backup and restore more logs to get your database up
to the last committed transaction.
BTW, this is called log-shipping. SQL enterprise edition includes it as
built-in, but many people write their own routines to handle situations and
configurations not directly supported but the built-in tools.

Remote Installation

> Is it possible to perform a remote installation of SQL Server 2000?
Yes, it is.
As taken from the FAQ:
The Computer Name screen of the SQL Server setup provides the option of
selecting the local computer, a remote computer, or when installing
clustering, a virtual server. However, note that all prerequisites must
first be installed on the remote computer before beginning the installation.
For more information on remote setup, see the "Remote Setup Information"
topic in SQL Server Books Online.
