From what Citrix has said you can create two identical farms (in your
case a single server farm) and install the same licenses on both. (as
long as only one is in use at any one time.
The trick for this config will be for you to maintain that server the
same way you maintain your current one. That way when you need it you
will be exactly the same and wont have problems (like you upgrade the
front end of an app on your prod box and the backend but never upgrade
the app at the DR site).
Anway one good way to do this would be to Image your existing server and
pump that to a duplicate at the DR site. Then as needed re-image it.
Also don't forget the TS license servers...... Those need to be
available in the event of a total data center failure.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix Backup Server
Hi all. I need to set up a backup server offsite. It will house backup
copies of all data (several gigs), including 2 Access databases (less
than 100mb combined), and email (we currently use Exchange and I haven't
decided how best to backup that yet). There is a fiber connection
between my PDC and where the backup server will be located. I think
that installing metaframe on the backup server would be the easiest
solution so that my users could get at their data from just about
anywhere if something happens to our building.
We are running MFXP, FR2. Do you have to have special licensing to
install it on more than one server? I won't need additional CALs
because there will never be any users on it providing that our building
doesn't burn down. =20
Also, do you have any suggestions about copying all this data from the
PDC to the metaframe box? AND, has anyone ever installed ISA on a
metaframe box before? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
