Overview
Although Exchange is a robust and stable messaging platform, database disasters are bound to happen. It is not uncommon for computers to fail or power to be interrupted. Without adequate preparation, server downtime is costly to an organization, especially when information is lost. Frustration can grow among employees and customers who expect round-the-clock server availability. Therefore, every organization is wise to establish a solid disaster recovery plan and to have it ready.
This white paper suggests ways to formulate, test, certify, and deploy an effective disaster recovery plan. In addition, this paper discusses the importance of early planning, detailing backup methods and scenarios involving Exchange data, and answering common questions on disaster recovery and backup. Also included is a reference list of Exchange error messages, command-line switches, sample configuration sheets, and notes on using the Performance Optimizer to tune a recovery server.
