I never considered MCS to be more difficult than adding a third-party app. Is that all it does? How does it make the recovery so fast? How does it check for db consistency? _____ From: Tiago de Aviz [mailto:Tiago@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 9:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange Server Redundancy http://www.MSExchange.org/ It is much simpler because it can be implemented on a single day, it replicates data on the bit level, it's a cheap software, and if you want, you can user a slower machine or any other machine for redundancy. No, while Brightstor is replicating, it doesn't know if the file is a database or a Star Wars movie. It's all the same for him.

I'm missing where it saves the time? It has to ensure that the database is consistent right? Or does it? _____
