I'm moving the DS from a Windows 2000 PS4 to a Windows 2003 PS4 on
Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.

So in a disaster I have to restore my ghosted server (that is
not a datastore) then copy a backup of the access datastore database
onto the ghosted server and follow the below procedure and I should be
able to get back up and running?
This sounds good in theory but has anyone actually done this in
a lab?
Thanks for the info!

Recovery is easy.
Restore the Access database on one of the servers.
On that server create a file DSN (ODBC Administrator) using the
Access driver).
Run dsmaint config on that server to point the .dsn file
(default username=citrix, default password=citrix).
Then run dsmaint failover <Access ServerName> to point all other
servers to the server hosting the Access datastore.

What is the simplest yet safe way to backup Citrix PS4 servers?
I am running a small PS4 farm using the Access datastore. I am using a
ghost image to deploy new servers on identical hardware (the ghost image
is of a server who is not the datastore).
Would it be possible to recovery from any farm failure using a
combination of the ghost image and the nightly datastore backup? I've
moved the access datastore between servers before but what if the
datastore was down. I'd ghost a new server and would I be able to take
the nightly backup of the access datastore and place it on the server
and make it a the datastore? Once the new datastore was online then I'd
just point the still running servers at the new datastore?
How is everyone else handling this? I would appreciate any
advice on this. I had been taking a full backup of the datastore server
nightly but I really don't have the tape space for this.
