BDS Mirror Exchange

[SimonFinn]

Hi

I am setting up a Backup Domain Server to mirror our current NT4 server and replace it whilst we upgrade the server to Server and exchange server 2000.

I am inexperienced in exchange and am wondering if there is a way of setting up our BDS to mirror the exchange on our primary server and then take over when we take the current primary server offline to upgrade.

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Any help would be great.

Thanks Si

Further to my above question,

Is it possible to setup a new exchange server and copy all the folders/settings/data from the primary server to the new server using replication.

Then take the primary server offline and continue using the server setup through replication as the temporary primary server?

Thanks Si
