Re: Virtualize SBS2003 server?

Absolutely doable
The one issue you may run into if you have to bring the virtual SBS up is reactivation.

I have a CPA company with a single SBS2003 server. I have one assistant who
uses RWW from home to access the server. I recently suffered a hardware
crash that took nearly 2 weeks to repair. Since this is unacceptable for my
job I decided that I need DR plan for myself. I have been reading about
Windows Virtual Server and wondered if this may be an option for me. I could
clone my SBS2003 server onto a Virtual Server and then when my primary
SBS2003 server crashes, I could bring the Virtual Server up at a secondary
location with all the settings and configuration being identical......so long
as the router is configured properly, I'm guessing. This would allow my
assistant to continue using RWW. As for data, I daily backup my data using
an Internet Storage site. I could download the data once the Virtual Server
is up running. Does this sound viable?
