RE: SCR options question
No special configuration required. When SCR is enabled, the postBackup task that is responsible for performing log truncation is aware of SCR's log requirements; on both the active and the passive nodes. Regards, Michael B.

I have set up a second mailbox server in a Hyper-V VM and am about to enable SCR for all of our databases to be replicated to that second server. I use MS Data Protection Manager 2007 to back up our entire exchange data system with a retention of 2 and a half weeks with recovery points every 30 minutes. What I am wondering is if the Truncation of the logs on the source server with SCR will affect DPM at all, or if I need to configure SCR in a special way so that it does not interfere with the backups of DPM.

RE: SCR options question
...Seriously though, they serve different purposes. DPM works well for doing quick restores of individuals mailboxes if they screw something up. SCR works well for getting all the mailboxes back online quickly in the event of a server failure or complete database corruption etc. Ehren J.

Re: SCR options question
I thought it quite sensible and look forward to the time when we get to migrate to E2k7 here.
