I have never had a server as a recovery server.
I have always had a PC for it. I set it up, test it, and shove it in a
closet with a copy of the Exch Disaster Recovery Whitepaper on it.
It is just a standard PC with a HD larger than the IS. 128MB of RAM.
That's it. Nothing special. Just something to put the IS on and recover
as needed.

You're right. We have spare servers, but since we have a bunch of
production servers, we don't have one for one backup. We build as
needed.

That depends on the type of recovery you have your spare set up for. If
you want to recover the directory as well as the IS, then your statement
about being on a separate network is correct. If your spare is more for
the occasional single mailbox recovery, or for verifying backups (not of
the directory, obviously), then there is no reason the server can't be
part of the production network. It must have the same NT version and SP
level, the same Exchange SP level and hotfixes applied, and the same Org
and Site names (but not joined to any existing site).

Phil,
You need to review the white papers on Exchange Disaster
Recovery. In short, you do not set it up on your production network. It
is hoped (actually, assumed) that you have a lab to try any changes on
your server.

Where can we get info on how to setup a disaster recovery server? Do
you install Exchange and set it up the same at the real live server or
do you deploy it as well on the network???
Thanks!

Full daily IS and log backup here. No brick-level. We have a disaster
recovery server designated in case we need to restore a single mailbox.
