Win 2000 Advanced server mirroring

Hi,

I have 1 2000 Advanced server that running Finance System. I'm worried if the server goes down or hardisk crashed.
How to do a mirror for this server. I want the mirror all same like primary server and the data updated. So if the server down i can up the mirror server immediately while the primary in repair.

thanks

Eric

Veritas makes some good priducts to do so.. like continuous protection server etc...

I assume your running some type of raid. Raid 10 boosts your reliability even further.

I use backup to disk.. i keep an offline server that is semi current. I can restore teh database from disk in less than 20 minutes.

Actually i'm begineer server environment.
How to set the server running on raid 10?
Did you mean that you backup for all system(all folder in that server)?so when the hardisk crashed you just change the hardisk into primary server?

Raid 10 is not two raid 5's mirrored. Raid 5 does not use striping.. raid 10 or 1+0 is striped drives (for speed) mirrored (for redundancy)

But he is right about everything else.. its all about calculating your risk. almost nothing is full proof... so basicaly how much risk do you want to take.

You're right, I was thinking about RAID 50
