SQL Server 'replication'

Hi,

I am looking for an easy (cheap) way of automatically copy tables, stored procedures and views (basically everything :) from one server to another.

I guess I could schedule a task to do it, but is there a different (better) way of doing it.

If not, then what are my best "commercial" tools to accomplish this?

Thanks

Why not restoring the backup?
prositAuthor Commented:
If that is the best way of doing it that's fine, I thought perhaps there were tools that could accomplish some sort of 'replication' more or less 'as it happens'.

Well, it depends on your reasons and what you exactly mean with 'replication'..

There are of course some tools: RedGate, Visual Studio, Apex..
