You can get your servers to think? Roberto, there is a clustering solution. It is very expensive (hardware and Exchange Enterprise version). We maintain a recovery server. If someone over waters the fern hanging above the server again (kidding) and zzzzap, I would have email back up and running in an hour from the previous backup. They would be missing items since the backup, but they would be functional.

Exchange doesn't work that way. You CAN, through a little finagling, have a server that THINKS it's your exchange server, and then restore a valid backup to it, which could get you back up in the amount of time it takes the restore. -- Drew ******************************** Visit http://www.drewncapris.net!
