It does depend on whether you have an additional backup drive available to the offline server. In our scenario we have.
But it is important to be set for all circumstances you might come under with the particular DR set you have chosen. In Mr Wards case, from what we are guessing, he has his test/recovery server on the same network as the production box. So he must ensure that has every angle covered as much as is possible. Which includes outlook looking for the downed server for its mailbox.

But this is only one test of many that you should be doing. I regularly test restores to another server on the network in this scenario to ensure that my data is retrievable. A restore of the server to the same name is much less frequent purely because of the practicalities of the tape drives being 'off-line' to the network.

That's what I thought. In which case; what would happen if his main server went down completely and a backup was done to the recovery server of a different name? Wouldn't his clients be looking for a mailbox on a server that isn't available anymore? Plus the old server wouldn't be up to redirect the request for them like in a migration or mailbox move.

Joyce, Probably because he has the test/alternative server is on the live network and restoring it from the live RAIT drive backup server, that backed up the live server (We had this at BP).

Why the different server name? Regards Mr Louis Joyce Data Support Analyst BT Ignite eSolutions -----Original Message----- From: BW Brandt Ward (5320) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 March 2002 16:23 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: backing up custom recipients? We use ArcserveIT 6.61EE to backup our Exchange server...I did a restore of our IS for a disaster recovery test and noticed that when I went to look at the hidden recipients...none of the ones that I have now showed up. I've got my recovery exchange box setup as a new site, same org. name and site domain but different server name. Curious if anyone else using this product get the same thing?
