A stand-by recovery server After you completely set up the stand-by recovery server (with the exception of installing Exchange 2000 Server), keep it shut down in a safe place until it is needed to replace a production server.
- Windows backup set A Windows backup set includes three parts:
- Dynamic data backups A back up of any mission-critical data or other data that is impossible or difficult to re-create manually, such as Web pages, Web applications, custom scripts, and databases of non-Exchange applications.
Note Although having a separate backup of the Exchsrvr folder (Exchange installation folder) is useful is some recovery scenarios, this folder is typically not backed up as part of the stand-by recovery server method.
- Exchange 2000 database backups To back up Exchange 2000 databases, use the Microsoft Information Store backup options in Windows 2000 Backup.
Perform these database backups daily to keep them current.
