Assuming your Exchange version here...
Download and read the Exchange Server 2003 Disaster Recovery 'Bible'

If you search the msexchange.org (where you found this mailing list)
you will find some great tutorials and articles on the subject as
well.
Bottom line:
1) Document your server; the more the better
2) Perform and test your online and offline backups
3) Read the MSKB's on the subject, and common mistakes
4) Monitor your server, look for errors before they turn into disasters
5) Monitor the performance of your server
6) Don't surf the net on any of your servers
7) Firewall them - both directions
