Backup and recovery procedures for Exchange 2000 clusters are different than backup and recovery procedures for non-clustered servers (also known as stand-alone servers). For example, you must back up and restore additional static data and dynamic data for Exchange 2000 clusters, such as cluster configuration data and the quorum disk resource.

For information about the advantages of clustering, see Exchange 2000 Server Clusters.
