Exchange 2003 on non RAID 2 drive server. Exchange and store are on drive with bad sectors.
Server has two physical drives, OS on C: and Exchange on D:. D: is reporting bad sectors so can't image it. If I recall correctly, can't I get a backup of the stores then uninstall and reinstall Exchange on healthy drives and then restore the Information store?

Sure, as long as it is a full/complete backup.

RE: Exchange 2003 on non RAID 2 drive server. Exchange and store are on drive with bad sectors.
If the Exchange store is unaffected by the bad sectors, you could temporarily attach a sufficiently large (external?) drive, move the store to the temporary drive, replace bad drives with healthy drives, and then move the store to the healthy drives. Not nearly as much trouble as backup / uninstall / re-install / restore I'd think, but that depends on the speed and connection method for the temporary drive vs. the speed of the backup/restore media. And if you can install healthy drive(s) alongside the unhealthy one, then you could just move the database one time.

Resolved: Exchange 2003 on non RAID 2 drive server. Exchange and store are on drive with bad sectors.
Complete. - Exchange 2003 fully patched on WIndows 2003 E fully patched installed on Dell SC1425 (1U 2 160GB SATA drives on SATA controller, No RAID) - Had a recent Acronis snapshot of the failing server - Deployed a virtual Exchange 2003 on HyperV 2008 - Moved all mailboxes to secondary server - Rehomed all folders to secondary - Pointed RUS to secondary and rebuilt - Modify DNS and firewall accordingly (SMTP, SSL, HTTP, OWA) - Made secondary the routing group master - Reissue SSL for secondary server - Replace drives in SC1425 and rebuild server with everything on c: and Acronis everything once daily to D: and to backup - Considering staying virual. No performance degradation but HyperV is a Dell 2950 III 32GB big dog. - Play Q2 then Q3 for about 10 minutes. - Wonders why any Congressperson would vote against the campaign disclosure bill. - Bah - Thanks for all the remarks, truly appreciated!

You're right about the /disasterrecovery situation. On your question re: GUID mismatches, since MBS approved the idea and has also advised in the past, to uninstall and re-install Exchange around a dcpromo event, that a proper restore cares only about the server name and the availability of storage at the same drive letters.

Sorry for delays in responding. I'm actually on vacation this week. Only looking at email once a day. Exchange 2003 supports a level of what's called "database portability", Exchange 2007 improved on this, and Exchange 2010 uses a completely different mapping mechanism.
