Greetings to all:
In a nutshell: I need to test DR for Virtual Exchange 2010 servers hosted on
VMWare VSphere version 4.0.
I have daily VCB backups of the mailbox servers and daily TSM/VSS incremental
backups of
the actual mailbox databases.
Is there any online documentation or DR checklist available to help me get
started?
Should I be using a better TSM/VSS method of backups to simplify the DR process?
Am I in store for a lot of weeping and gnashing of my teeth?
Please see the results of 3 tdpexcc commands from one of our mailbox servers
below. Any push in the
right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Danny Schmanny
