As long as your data is safe, and you're comfortable in recovering data
using tools like ESEUTIL and ISINTEG than your basically ok.
A full server restore is not really an issue, it's pretty straight forward
but very time consuming.
Make sure you know your configuration and you can setup a new server, use
the original server name, setup Exchange with the /disasterrecovery switch,
patch your server with the appropriate hotfixes and service packs and you
should be up-and-running.
Try this in a test environment, you'll see it works.
If you have a system state backup (which includes the metabase) this makes
it much easier, but still you have to rebuild your server.
A full backup is ofcourse the easiest way to recover. Personally I like the
Backup Exec Intelligent Disaster Recovery option very much, safes a lot of
time.
Test this, document this, train this. On a regular basis. One day you'll be
happy you did, believe me :-)
Cheers,
Jaap

I am in the middle of designing a DR for my Exch Org. I have a question
about backing up the Metabase. Should this be an every day occurrence?
In other words - should I set it up to be backed up every day? I have had
an issue in the past where I had to install Exchange over itself because
my Metabase corrupted. I'm not sure of the Metabase yet and if it's an
ever changing thing like the Stores are.
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you -
Jon
