Another couple of options that will do what you want. Doubletake from NSI
Software (www.nsisw.com)
and Seagate Replication Exec (Seagate sold this and their backup software to
someone else, but I think the link is still at www.seagate.com)
Doubletake is expensive at about 1500 per server, but it also does true
fail over by taking over the services from another machine. Allowing you to
have a standby server, with almost no downtime. I have used it with SQL
and it works well, but I have not tested it with Imail. I have not used
the seagate solution, as Doubletake was more appealing for my application.
Both have the capability of mirroring live data to another machine,
including open files.

Steve
