Well from my limited kownledge you could: 1.) Get the IDR for the Veritas BE, 7 floppies or 1 CD and 1 good Tape and you could be back on line pretty fast. 2.) Maybe you could run a second exch55 server and have account in both places
3.) There are other cool solutions Ive heard of the do standby type things that other people on the list have played with.. 4.) If you could afford some down time...you could do a ghost thing.. this might not be good enoguht though 2 cents and quick bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 6:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: URGENT DISASTER RECOVERY We recently had an issue where we had to rebuild exchange 5.5 and restore mailbox's etc back into it. We suffered considerable downtime which has now possed the question of disaster recovery. We have a domain with a pdc and bdc (NT4 server) and have created a bdc off site which is part of the domain and is synchronising remotely. I need to come up with a good disaster recover for the exchange server. We are using veritas backup which is backing up private store, public store and one other folder. Could someone suggest the best way of handling this. The exchange server cannot be taken offline. I have looked at exmerge but am not sure if this would copy permissions etc if the edb's are in use. Is there a way of creating a second exchange 5.5 remotely and mirroring the accounts of the original exchange. (Exact copy - but the backup exchange server does not function unless the other one goes down.) Please help - I am in grave danger.
