The following Microsoft document talks about common log-shipping questions in SQL Server. The point that I find most interesting about this document is the requirement of Enterprise Edition or Developers Edition. This is a common mis-conception. To AUTOMATICALLY configure logshipping through enterprise manager, this is a requirement. HOWEVER, logshipping can be manually configured on 7.0/2000. In fact, I find you have more control over logshipping if you do it manually.
