RE: Question about "Disaster Recovery" for ISA

The ISA server backup will only restore to the unique identifier that it is 
linked with through the original install.  You should take a system state 
backup of all server.  There is also a vb script that will export all your 
setting from the isa server.  Personally, I have ISA on a RAID 5 array for 
speed and redundancy.

If I was you.... I would get a written copy off all the settings before you try 
anything.

Subject: [isalist] Question about "Disaster Recovery" for ISA


http://www.ISAserver.org


Hello,

I have a question about a "disaster recovery" for ISA Server

This is my network archetecture

LAN --- ISA SRV --- Internet

I install ISA Server Enterprise Edition and on my LAN I have 2 publish
servers an Exchange Server and a Web Server.....
On my ISA server, I have only one Hard Disk..... Suppose that my hard disk
fail(crash), How can I rebuild the server.

If a replace the defect hard disk with a new one, I make a fresh install
of Windows 2000 + SP, I reinstall ISA Server Ent. Ed. Does the
installation of ISA reclaim all the configuration settings from Active
Directory .....? If it's not possible does it mean that I have to recreate
manually all my publishing rules and others settings ......? Does I have
to make a restore of the "System State" after reinstalling Windows 2000
SRV and before reinstalling ISA ....?
Does it exist a switch /disasterrecovery for ISA like it exist for
Exchange2k ....?

In short, can you explain me the procedure to rebuild the server or maybe
does it exist a MS doc that explain that .....?

Thanks very much for your help.

Gennaro
