Disaster Recovery Chapter
Well, we're all busy writing the Disaster Recovery chapter, and I'm rather saddened that the Exchange 2003 DR white papers aren't available yet. Yes, I'm making my way through the recipes I'm writing, and I'm testing everything, but it's frustrating not to have the latest white paper.
In any case, we're including several recipes in this chapter. Among them are how to restore Exchange 2000 to a different server, and how to restore a single mailbox from backup. Recovery Storage Groups will be covered, including dial-tone recovery.
We'll also tell you how to backup your databases, which every administrator should know -- but I've certainly heard of cases where administrators didn't do this - in fact, I had a friend IM me about an ex-colleague of his yesterday - the ex-colleague had 40GB of transaction logs on one of his volumes, and Exchange had shut down because there wasn't any room left!
Ah well - that's what keeps consultants in business!
