List Charter and FAQ at:I'm in the process of building a mailbox recovery server. This machine is a PIII 733 w/ 256 Ram and two ATA 100 IDE drives. First drive is partitioned for the OS and logs, second for the databases. This box is on our network as a stand alone server. It is configured with same service packs as the production box.My current production server runs an Internet Mail Service and Right Fax connector.Am I correct in assuming I do not need to install any connectors on the recovery server in order to restore the database and recover a mailbox to export to a .PST?If I do install the connectors on the recovery server, has anyone had any experience with regards to conflicts in this type of environment with the production server?If I do install the connectors on the recovery server and my production server fails, can I run the recovery server as a temporary production server while the failed server is being repaired? I know the recovery server will be slower due to the IDE drives. I believe I should be able to point everyone's Outlook 2000 to the recovery server and at least have basic, if slow email capabilities.Lastly, I run InnoculatIT on all servers and desktops. I've spoken with Antigen and they have a 30 eval that I can download and install on my recovery server. Any thoughts on that?Thanks in advance for your wisdom and patience.
