Best way to maintain up to date SQL Jobs and SSIS on failover Serv

Hi,
on SQL 2005 we use log shipping to maintain our production server to an
alternate server. Now I would like to do something similar with our SQL
Agent jobs and SSIS. While those jobs are enabled on the production server,
I would like them to become disable on the alternate server, this process
would be scheduled once per day.
I'm sure there are many ways to achieve this, but I am wondering what would
be the most efficient.
any ideas ?
Thanks
Fredok, I just figured out how to transfer/disable jobs using the Transfer Job
task in SSIS, it's quite nice actually.
But, I am still in the dark on how to transfer SSIS from one server to
another.
BTW, a backup and restore of MSDB is out of the question.
Thanks

filesystem and just keep copies on your DR machines
Terry|||Anotther thing we do here (mostly for legacy dts packages) is to
restore the MSDB as another name. During DR, rename that database to
MSDB and all the objects will be there.
