  • You cannot log ship down-version. A SQL 2012 database cannot be restored to a sQL 2008 R2 server, neither can log backups, so that's not going to happen.

    Log shipping up-version (sql 2008 R2 to SQL 2012) can be done, it's no different in setup to log shipping with the same version. That said, it's only supported for the purposes of a rolling upgrade, it's not a very sensible thing to do as a DR setup (because if it's ever failed over, it cannot be failed back because databases can't be restored down-version). The only mode that is allowed is with the second database RESTORING, hence not readable.
