Can I setup Log Shipping and nightly backups?

I have backups that have been running nightly without issue for quite some
time. To minimize data loss in the event of a major server disaster I setup
log shipping. I want to know if I can continue to perform the nightly
backups or if this will interfere with the log file shipping. The nightly
backups are useful for lots of things we do but aren't entirely necessary.As long as these "nightly backups" aren't log backups then you should be fine. A database backup do
not empty the log, i.e..e., it do not affect your log backup chain sequence in any way.
