Thanks for the reply tezfair.

I am not aware of what Hyper V even does. I have had a browse around but still having difficulty getting my head around what exactly it does!

I think I might just use the built-in backup utility to perdiodically backup to a remote share.

SBS 2008 and backup mirror?

Hi, just found this informative site.

I am a bit of a beginner to SBS servers, I have set up a couple of SBS 2003 servers in the past, so have some knowledge, but I am in no way an expert on them.

I am looking for a solution where I have a primary server set up in one office, and a backup mirror server running at a second, remote location. They would be connected via VPN. Basically, the idea is to have a backup server that is always up-to-date, that can step in in the event of a failure on the primary server.

I am aware that with SBS 2003, you cannot use another SBS server on the same domain. But I notice with SBS 2008 Premium, you get a Server 2008 licence. Can anybody tell me if this second server could act as a mirror for AD and Exchange data?

Thanks

Stu
