Not sure if I need another question but I thought what if the Hyper v server motherboard dies and I have a 2 week old VHD &nbsp;clone on the DC with Exchange 2010 Server and copy it to &nbsp;a new server mount it &nbsp;and restore the Information Store &nbsp;from backup, would that be a good recover plan?

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
