An alternate recovery method to replacing a failed node is restoring or rebuilding a failed node. The procedures for restoring or rebuilding a node are identical to the procedures for restoring or rebuilding a stand-alone server.

Furthermore, to restore or rebuild a failed node, you must have the required backup sets. For more information about how to restore or rebuild a server, see "Selecting an Exchange 2000 Disaster Recovery Strategy."
