Exchange Disaster Recovery event @ Microsoft Campus UK
I'm delivering an Exchange disaster recovery event in the UK in December and we've been owerwhelmed by the responses to the event. It has been very well subscribed, and this makes me wonder if there aren't enough prescriptive guidance documents available on strategies showing how you cope in the case of a catastrophic event.
We've got a couple of documents detailing how to recover from disasters. The Disaster Recovery Operations guide explains how to back up and restore critical data, whilst the Whitepaper on using recovery storage groups allows you to recover data from an older backup copy of the database without disturbing access to current data. I got these documents, amongst others from the Exchange documentation library but I wondered, do we need to run more "how to recover from disaster" type events like this one, or do we need to produce more documentation? If so, what would we need in addition to what's already out there on the web? It would be interesting to know.
