To be honest with you one of the best things to do is add another server (just a PC acting as a server will do)<br />
<br />
Because Citrix has no server licensing, all client based, you can add a second &nbsp;PS server into the farm which will give you a lot of redundancy / DR capability straight off<br />
<br />
After that things to do incoude a system state backup of the server and preferably use something like Backup Exec System Recovery so you have a DR image that can go onto any hardware that you get in to replace the failed kit if/when that happens

I am running a Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 and I need to make sure I have a backup / disaster recovery plan in place. I need to know what needs to be backed up? And if possible the procedure to backup what is needed. I run a nightly backup of all my data and could easily add certain folders off this server as needed. I would just need to know what else had to be backed up and the process for restoring.

Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 Backup/Disaster Recovery procedures

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
