Disaster Recovery Backup

[Guest Falcon1]

Hi,

 

I'm starting to plan our disaster recovery plan for our 2000 and 2003

servers and beside backing up the System State and making a ERD disks for

each servers, having daily backups of the data, what else should I consider?

 

I thought about backing up the C:\ drive so that we don't have to re-install

all the applications. (System state, Program Files / WINNT and any other

required folders been backed up at the sames time.) Would that allow a full

restoration of a server with this? Am I missing anything else?

 

Then I can move on to planning each application and what's the longest we

can go wthout it and how long to restore from scratch or to troubleshoot.

 

Your thoughts and input are important since I'm in the process of updating

myself from WINNT to Windows 2000 and 2003 servers technology.

Thank you

Gabriel
