The only thing I would add to this is use good quality hardware. If you have good quality hardware and are proactive in monitoring the health of your hardware along with all the other recommendations in the fine link that Andy provided, you'll be ok.

Using BE is a good start. (Make sure its the latest ver) Additionally, you should grab an old workstation and test your tape backups and your restores skills frequently. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 6:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: URGENT DISASTER RECOVERY We recently had an issue where we had to rebuild exchange 5.5 and restore mailbox's etc back into it. We suffered considerable downtime which has now possed the question of disaster recovery. We have a domain with a pdc and bdc (NT4 server) and have created a bdc off site which is part of the domain and is synchronising remotely. I need to come up with a good disaster recover for the exchange server. We are using veritas backup which is backing up private store, public store and one other folder. Could someone suggest the best way of handling this. The exchange server cannot be taken offline. I have looked at exmerge but am not sure if this would copy permissions etc if the edb's are in use. Is there a way of creating a second exchange 5.5 remotely and mirroring the accounts of the original exchange. (Exact copy - but the backup exchange server does not function unless the other one goes down.) Please help - I am in grave danger.
