The business had decide that in the event of a major failure they were prepared to loose upto a days work. When there was a motherboard failure on the production server, the development server was restarted with the production IP address and the users where up and running in minutes. Maybe not the most complete DR scenario but it worked within the business constraints given, and had the advantage of a fully validating any production backup. It wasn't difficult to set up or administer. BTW the way the production server was fully mirrored. -- Paul Watson # WF Software Ltd # I don't suffer from Tel +44 1436 674729 # stress I'm a carrier Fax +44 1436 678693 #
