Re: Is it possible to have online DR server for SMS 2003?

If you've got the budget for another server, this is the primary approach
that I would consider:
- Have a hot backup server on standby, have SQL Server installed w/ current
service packs. From your current SMS site server, have an automated process
copy the contents of the SMS backup folder to the hot server. Copy the
package source as well. Use the sms recovery wizard to create a task check
list for the recovery process (this should contain your database backup as
well). In the event of a catastrophe, you could have the hot backup renamed
to the old site server, run through the recovery process and have the new
site server up in running in short order.

Thanks steve.
Doea the standby hot server need to be in the network? if yes then how
can this server have same hostname as the main server? we can not join
the other server in domain with same name.
