Would like some information regarding failover to back up server in case of disaster. What would be the best solution with the least downtime? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Novell Standby Server...and Novell Clustering are the two top choices.

Clustering would be my top option. Standby server has been a pain for alot of our customers. Lee Smith

Standby server has worked great for me. I have 4 servers that are mirrored and haven't had any problems.

Most of the problems I have heard people have had are because they didn't know what they were doing with either Netware or Standby.

Do your homework before implementing any solution and you should be able to implement either.
