If you can afford the down time, you could stop all your Exchange services on the primary system, copy all files in the exchsrvr directory, then startup the services again. Another option would be to buy Backup Exec and buy the Exchange backup agent and use this agent to backup the files. I think BUEXEC has the ability to go disk to disk. I don't remember the particulars about Exchange itself, but I vaguely remember some capability for Exchange to keep redundant copies of the data stores across the same site. I'd have to look this up to be sure. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Azad Mahmoud [mailto:azad.mahmoud@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 5:56 AM To: lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LARTC] Exchange server 5.5 Disaster Recovery Hi, As a plan for a disaster recovery network (in a second location), is there any way of synchronising the current Exchange server remotly with the DR one in our location, or is there any way of doing this process through a backup and restore procedure?
