We are writing the procedures that are needed to recover our hub Site:
 - Its a hub and spoke environment, with 100 or so spokes.
 - We have two servers in our hub Site.
 - We are running Exchange V5.5 SP 3.
 - Exchange on-line backups available.
 - NT server backups available.
 - Full server backups (with Exchange services set to off-line) are NOT
available.

On a Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery exercise (for the hub only at
present), we need to restore these hub servers onto new hardware.
Both servers should get installed into the same named Organisation, the same
named Site, and the same named Server as their originals.

The first server that is recovered should be installed with SETUP /R, and
"Create new site" should be specified.

BUT  - what about the second server??
 - Do we use SETUP /R, or normal SETUP?
 - Do we join this site (its all happening on a totally separate test
network) that was created when we installed the first server? Or do we also
say "Create new Site" and give it the same name as the Site we want to join?


Thanks for any clues / information / guidance

Cheers, Chris
