Well, the only issue that i'm aware is that the Exchange box being protected can't go under a lot of processing/disk stress or else the secondary box will stand in. The only way to prevent this is to put a serial cable connecting both boxes so Brightstor can check if the other box is alive. No possible on WAN, though. I never had lost mail. I have a filtering server before the Exchange box, so when the exchange box crashes, all mail is queued there until it comes back, that is, for a short while. -----Mensagem original----- De: Byron Kendrick [mailto:bkendrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: quarta-feira, 11 de maio de 2005 00:49 Para: [ExchangeList] Assunto: [exchangelist] RE: RES: Exchange 2003 failover products http://www.MSExchange.org/ Any known issues? How about lost mail?

It's basically a service that monitors changes at file-system level and keeps a remote disk with the same database that your Exchange has while it's online. When your Exchange box crashes, it executes a series of tests to confirm wether it's a network failure or if the "protected" Exchange box is indeed dead. Then, the "Secondary" machine will set the dead Exchange's IP addresses and names on itself and start the exchange services. Once the Dead exchange box is brought back up, you can "reinstate" at some time and all modified data will be copied back to the crashed machine and the Secondary box will stand out. In a matter of 30 seconds you're up and running. Also works with pretty much any other Messaging, database and web servers available for Windows. -----Mensagem original----- De: Byron Kendrick [mailto:bkendrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: terça-feira, 10 de maio de 2005 22:26 Para: [ExchangeList] Assunto: [exchangelist] Exchange 2003 failover products http://www.MSExchange.org/ Anyone familiar with any of the Exchange failover/replication products such as XOsoft WANSyncHA? Anyone care to comment on these approaches to failover.
