Ehem..excuse me....Walmart. My friend had an Exch server like that. When I told him a few years back I was getting into it, all he could do was complain that it crashes all the time, the IS is constantly corrupting, etc. I have yet to ever experience that.

We have a set of 18 production servers that are specifically designed to crash utterly and completely every 3-4 months. These are multi-purpose servers so I get to DR Exchange on the average 3-5 times every time a total crash occurs because some bozo touches the server after I do. Therefore I really don't need to perform DR tests. Why do it in the lab when you do it regularly in production. S.

I did lot's of testing and DR's for clients this year... I plan on having to do more next year and the years to come. :o) D "A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer." -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:33 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Disaster recovery planning for the new year. How many of you did a test restore of your Exchange environment this year? [1] Frightfully few I'm afraid. For those who know they didn't test as much as they should, perhaps a new year resolution (and plan to achieve same) is in order. Join me now in scheduling your disaster recovery testing for the new year. Here are the dates I'll be testing my recovery scenarios [3]. Friday, March 29 Friday, May 31 Friday, July 26 Friday, October 25 Reminders set a week in advance. Time blocked out to allow sufficient time to complete the task. First test scheduled late enough in the new year to allow for acquisition of additional hardware and development of test plan if needed. Schedule the time now or you'll never find the time. As an Exchange sage once noted, the wrong time to be practicing your disaster recovery plan is in the middle of a disaster. Do yourself, your employer and the rest of the community a favor and schedule your practice sessions now. [1] Rhetorical question. [2] [2] Definition for Amit Hanji: rhetorical question n. A question to which no answer is expected, often used for rhetorical effect. [3] In my lab anyway.
