Migrate jobs from production to backup

The backup server is using the agent to run log shipping. If I were to
migrate jobs prior to a disaster, the agent would run them. Assuming I can
turn them off so that having them run is not an issue, migrating them one at
a time is tedious.
Is there a way to mass migrate the jobs from one server to the other?
(packages are already migrated)
If such a thing as a mass import of the jobs is available, will the job
migration automatically schedule the packages or will it be necessary to
reschedule them (assuming a disaster event occurs and log-shipping is the
backup solution).
Regards,
Jamie

As described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314546 you can script all
jobs.

Scripting will re-create the same schedules. The jobs should be enabled when
you are scripting them if you don't want to change them on the destination
server.

this. We have our production running on 2000 and with disk space at a

compressing backups and decided to buy a package. It works great. I am
impressed to see that the 2005 version already does this. Elated actually.
