SQL Replication How To



I currently have a two SQL Servers in a Windows 2003 Cluster with the
database sitting on a directly attached fiber channel storage array (EMC
CX300). I have another SQL Server (Standalone) in a remote location that is
going to be used for disaster recovery. The cluster and the standalone
server are connected over a private T1 WAN line.

What is the best way to replicate the data from the cluster to the
standalone SQL server in cae of a disaster? Can you schedule it to replicate
at night? Would transactional replication be the best approach?? Is there a
clear and concise "How To"

Thanks!!
