Slayer writes "I have two SQL Jobs, one that backs up a database and one the transaction logs. The jobs include a second step that uses xp_cmdshell to call robocopy to copy the jobs to a remote server. What I want to do is create a third job step that will restore the database and logs on the remote server in Standby mode. I have no linked servers at present and am running SQL 2000 Standard edition.
Can you offer any advise on how to go about this."

I have done something similar a while back and I had a separate job running on the standby-server that picked up the fresh transfers and did a restore. Pretty simple but I had a separate process running on the standby...the restore wasn't initiated from the prod-server.
