Ain’t
there yet, baby. Actually, I
think we are in the process of getting BE, but it hasn’t rolled out to my site
yet. I can’t wait til it
does. I must admit though, we
have been rather busy as of late, what with us just buying Remedy. Now that was a project. Integrating them to our e-mail in one
weekend. I won’t complain. I got to fly to
Europe.

Wish I
was using BE. Must be nice being
able to restore with Ntbackup if you need to. Maybe
someday.

My recovery server is
an old HP box that I only turn on as needed. I'm using BE instead of
arcserve. Actually restored a contacts folder for someone yesterday.
Works fine, meaning I think you were already on the right track.

Maybe I'm missing the
boat here. I want the recovery server on the network for single mailbox
recovery options, not disaster recovery. Why would I want to promote it etc. I
think a member server as part of the domain should work fine. I think I should
be able to restore form my current member backup server.

Why not build as a
BDC, take it off network, promote it, rename it to the same as your existing
exchange server, install exchange and arcserve (hmmmm). It will need a
tape drive to run the restore and to take the pst off.

Subject: Recovery
server
I know this has been
addressed before but please bear with me. I'm ramping up to build a single
mailbox recovery server. I've read the Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery Server
white paper. I'm using ArgggServIT 6.61 on a member server with agents to
backup the current Exchange server which is a BDC Dell with a mirrored set for
the OS, mirrored set for the log files and a Raid 5 with striping for the
database. The recovery server will have two large IDE drives.
So....
1)
I build the recovery server as a member of the domain, installing NT and
Exchange with the exact service packs as the current Exchange BDC. Will this
create any issues with two Exchange servers on my network? I realize when I
install Exchange on the recovery box I create a new site with the same site
and organization name as the existing Exchange server, not join
site.
2)
Once the recovery server is built and on my LAN I can then light some candles
and sacrifice some chickens and restore the Private Store to the recovery
server across the network from my member back up server. Then export the
mailbox I need to a PST and attach it to the required mailbox.
Am I missing
anything? Two servers on the network running Exchange worries me for some
reason. Does the partitioning matter on the recovery server? I plan to break
the first drive into two partitions, one for the OS and one for the logs.
Second drive I'll use for the database. I'm really trying to avoid shooting
myself in the foot. Thanks in advance for your wisdom and
flames.
