Hi



My boss: "if the office burns down, we should be able to be up and
running

in no less than 4 hours"

Me: "Dammit!"



This means we need an alternate location with servers in a network ready
to

go.

The challenge here is to find the best solution. And I am very close to
be a

rookie in this matter.



Anyone who have done this before? One big question is how to replicate
our

network with the software to a new one, on (mostly) different type of

hardware. Previous postings tells me this is not an easy task.



Someone suggested using DFS and VPN, but how will that work with AD, SQL

databases, Exchange mailboxes and so on? Another one is to set up a
similar

environment, and run a restore. Files is not a problem. But I suppose
there

are several challenges according to system state. How about the
registry?

partitions and shares?



Our system:



Dell PE 2600 Win2k on external MS 480 Gb RAID5, with SQL 2000,
filesharing,

Trend antivirus, Active directory, domaincontroller

Dell PE 1600SC Win2k on external MS 480 Gb RAID5, with Exchange 2000,
Active

Directory, domain controller

IBM X series 200 Win2k, with terminalservices, DHCP



No name Win2k SP4 machine with backupexec 9.0 rev 4454

Using 250 Gb USB 2.0 disks as backup devices.



Any comments would be greatly appriciated



Thanks

Frederik, Norway
