I've been through just about everything I can find in google to figure out how to do this. I need to replicate a database to a backup server. The replication is one way. Both are standard editions so I can't use log shipping. It is not my database, but rather one for a proprietary application. I can't change any of the tables without it flipping out. Some of their tables have > 255 columns. Is there any way I can replicate?

The database changes quite a lot during the day and is ~6gb. Using full logging method, the log grows by an average of 50mb per day. The database size doesn't grow but a gb/year, but the data within it is changed quite often. I don't think snapshot would work very well.

Why not use transactional replication?

By the way, you can buils your own log shipping process. Or get it from sql resource kit.
