Disaster Recovery model with minimal down-time

Hi, I am trying to collect some ideas for disaster recovery model suitable

for my environment. Hopefully someone can give me hints on this.

I have a blade server with SAN running windows 2000 server SP4 as 2nd-ary

DNS, fileserver, and print server in active directory environment.

I got shipment of a server (stand alone, not blade) from the parent company,

with quite big hard drives (1Tb). Due to plan changes, the server is

available for "anything". I was thinking to utilise this server as disaster

recovery server.

I was thinking a way to incorporate the disaster recovery that could be

tailored to my current environment with minimal configuration (hoping there

is such term in DR windows).

Ideally what I want is: if this blade server at some point dies, while

waiting for replacement parts, all the functions can be flicked to the other

server to allow users to run within minutes. I guess: the most important

thing is the print server role and the files repetoir.

I am still reading DFS, cluster (they are quite long documents) in windows

2000 server. Anyone knows about DFS and cluster in order to achieve my

objective?

I have been doing ghost image alot, but problem with this:

a. it takes time to blast the image back

b. there's downtime while restoring the image

Anyone got any suggestions? Thank you.
