Yes.You can take Full backup and restore to other server and use maintenance plan -log shipping to figure out transaction log backup schedule.

Do not backup the transaction log outside of the log shipping maintenance plan. It will break log shipping unless you manually apply those as well.

You should code your transaction log backup so that it ignores log shipped databases to avoid this problem. My isp_Backup script accounts for this: http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2008/08/19/Backup-SQL-Server-Databases.aspx
