Automated Backup and restoring to a new machine

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this quesion. The problem
i am trying to solve is basically this. We do a nightly complete backup of
our database. The next day we copy the database to a different machine
restore it and run jobs on this database. I would like to automate this
process, but don't know the best solution.
We have 3 machines here. Server A is the main producation db machine, server
B is our backup machine and server C is where we restore the backed up DB and
run the jobs. Can someone please suggest what in theri opinion would be a
good solution for this. Thanks

You might want to investigate log shipping for this functionality which
requires Enterprise Edition. However, you can use scripts off the Resource
Pack or off some internet sites to achieve the same effect if you only have
Standard Edition. The principle is not difficult - you have a backup job on
the principal server and you need a share to copy files to and a job on the
standby server to restore the database and subsequent log files('WITH NO
RECOVERY').
