If you have an SA or Enterprise license or Open Value version of Server you are entitled to a Cold standby license without additional fees, if you do not have SA or Enterprise or OV program then you must purchase a 2nd license. http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/d/f/cdf888c4-21af-4ab3-8422-629 b97a4a6c2/SA%20BenefitsNA.pdf

There may be some free tools out there to let you replicate data from one server to another. Maybe Robocopy? Im not sure though if it would work for what you need. Best, Phil -----Original Message----- From: Angus Scott-Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 2:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Standby server for small business? Got a small-business client (Server 2003,20 workstations, vertical- market database based on MS SQL Server) who just can't afford to be without their server for more than a few hours at most, so I'm looking into some sort of standby server. Anyone have any experience with this product? EMC RepliStor SMB Edition replication software enables small and medium businesses to protect a critical Windows file or application server by continuously replicating data to a second Windows server. Also, refresh my mind about licensing here, does MS require two licenses for Server 2003 when you do this? -- Angus Scott-Fleming http://www.geoapps.com/ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
