Guest Lito Kusnadi Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Hi, I am trying to collect some ideas for disaster recovery model suitable for my environment. Hopefully someone can give me hints on this. I have a blade server with SAN running windows 2000 server SP4 as 2nd-ary DNS, fileserver, and print server in active directory environment. I got shipment of a server (stand alone, not blade) from the parent company, with quite big hard drives (1Tb). Due to plan changes, the server is available for "anything". I was thinking to utilise this server as disaster recovery server. I was thinking a way to incorporate the disaster recovery that could be tailored to my current environment with minimal configuration (hoping there is such term in DR windows). Ideally what I want is: if this blade server at some point dies, while waiting for replacement parts, all the functions can be flicked to the other server to allow users to run within minutes. I guess: the most important thing is the print server role and the files repetoir. I am still reading DFS, cluster (they are quite long documents) in windows 2000 server. Anyone knows about DFS and cluster in order to achieve my objective? I have been doing ghost image alot, but problem with this: a. it takes time to blast the image back b. there's downtime while restoring the image Anyone got any suggestions? Thank you. Lito
