RE:Log Shipping challenges

Hello there, am new to sql server 2005 and i would like to know if it's possible to do log shipping on one computer with two instances having one instance as a primary server and the other as a secondary server. If it's possible how is it done?

Welcome to forums.
First of all it si possible to log ship between two instances.
Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190016(SQL.90).aspx for more details.
I just mention a couple of things.

• Make sure your primary database is in full or bulk-logged mode
• Go to database properties and select Log shipping in Management Studio.
• When specifying the endpoint give a different port number for the secondary server.
• Backup the primary database and restore in secondary server. You may have to restore the tail log backup too (some times)

Things should work smoothly,
Hope this helps
