Yes - up to the tr log backup.
But if you can't send a complete backup then you will need to make sure that the tr log can be applied before allowing the log top truncate on the source m/c.
Think about differentials too.

There were problems with restoring a standby m/c from a backup - don't know if that's still the case but you should keep all the tr logs sent just in case and be prepared for a long task for recovery.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
