domain controller, and its running exchange 2003. I am backing up the
information store, public folders and individual mailboxes, nightly. My
question is since everything is running on one machine, in the event that
exchange goes down or i have a hardware failure, how can i get it backup and
running per my setup. Th server is a Dell Poweredge 2600 with a raid 5
array, and a mirror set. The OS is installed on the mirror, and the
transactionlogs for exchange are stored here. The raid 5 array is on a
separate controller, and the .edb and .stm files are stored on the raid5
