SBS 2008 backup domain server questions


 We are in the process of implementing SBS 2008 server (domain,AD,DNS,exchange).
This would be our primary domain controller & mail server. This server will have only
AD accounts & mail server and nothing else.


If we wanted to implement a backup(standby) domain controller,exchange,DNS in the same network on another server, just incase our primary SBS 2008 goes down.

Couple of questions about this backup(standby) SBS 2008:


1.  Can we setup a backup(standby) SBS 2008 in the same network ?
2.  Can we have both the primary & standby connected in the same network ?
3. Do I need to buy a seperate SBS 2008 licenses for the standby server ?
4.  Does SBS 2008 have some inbuilt feature or utility which can Sync between the
     primary and standby server ?

  Any other suggestions are also welcome

@Jaredjar:

Can you provide me your email id or elaborate more on the

"Image for Windows"

Is this a good disaster recovery tool which can be used against SBS 2008 ?
