By contingency do you mean Disaster Recovery? Do you need off-site data protection? Are you considering data replication for continuos data protection, or does a traditional backup strategy meet your RPO? Beyond the solutions offered by Microsoft in the above mentioned resource, there are a few third-party solutions that provide realtime data replication across a WAN and automatic recovery of Exchange in the DR site in the event of a site wide disaster. XOSoft, NSI, Neverfail and SteelEye Technology are a few of the vendors you may want to investigate. DISCLAIMER: I am a SteelEye employee.
hi, thanks for replying. I was planning to use HP Business Continuity Volume (BCV) software to replication. Do you have any idea of BCV whether it works with exchange? pls guide. we already have BCV working for oracle and do not want to invest in any other..

HP's website seems to indicate they have some support for automated recovery of Exchange...http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/evm/index.html "The Storage Solutions Group continues to work closely with the EVM team to provide the type of end-to-end solutions customers have learned to expect from an industry leader. These Solution Guides describe backup and recovery procedures using EVM with specific third party applications, as well as presenting best practices to the user. The Solution Guides available are: Non-Disruptive Backup & Restore for Oracle 9i Oracle 9i EVM v2 Data Warehouse Oracle EVM 2.0 Compatibility Certification Rapid Restore Solution for SQL Server 2000 Rapid Restore Solution for Exchange Server 2000 Non-disruptive Backup & Rapid Restore for SAP Rapid Restore and Non-Disruptive Backup for mySAP.com (Windows 2000 /Oracle)" I suppose you are replicating locally? THe BCV software seems to support snapshots on a LAN, not continuous data protection across a WAN which is needed for the highest level of RPO in the event of a complete site loss.
