function Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping sets up log shipping for one or more databases
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping helps to easily set up log shipping for one or more databases.
 
        This function will make a lot of decisions for you assuming you want default values like a daily interval for the schedules with a 15 minute interval on the day.
        There are some settings that cannot be made by the function and they need to be prepared before the function is executed.
 
        The following settings need to be made before log shipping can be initiated:
        - Backup destination (the folder and the privileges)
        - Copy destination (the folder and the privileges)
 
        * Privileges
        Make sure your agent service on both the primary and the secondary instance is an Active Directory account.
        Also have the credentials ready to set the folder permissions
 
        ** Network share
        The backup destination needs to be shared and have the share privileges of FULL CONTROL to Everyone.
 
        ** NTFS permissions
        The backup destination must have at least read/write permissions for the primary instance agent account.
        The backup destination must have at least read permissions for the secondary instance agent account.
        The copy destination must have at least read/write permission for the secondary instance agent acount.

        PS C:\> Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping @params
 
        Sets up log shipping for database "db1" with the backup path to a network share allowing local backups.
        It creates daily schedules for the backup, copy and restore job with all the defaults to be executed every 15 minutes daily.
        The secondary database will be called "db1_LS".
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $params = @{
        >> SourceSqlInstance = 'sql1'
        >> DestinationSqlInstance = 'sql2'
        >> Database = 'db1'
        >> SharedPath= '\\sql1\logshipping'
        >> GenerateFullBackup = $true
        >> Force = $true
        >> }
        >>
        PS C:\> Invoke-DbaDbLogShipping @params
 
        Sets up log shipping with all defaults except that a backup file is generated.
        The script will show a message that the copy destination has not been supplied and asks if you want to use the default which would be the backup directory of the secondary server with the folder "logshipping" i.e. "D:\SQLBackup\Logshiping".
