Exchange Cluster - database replication

[jamesjames1]

Hi all,

My boss want to have Exchange redundancy so I recomended clustering. I have never set an EXchange cluster up but have read the papers on shared storage cluster, i.e. a cluster which ahve a databas on NAS or a SAN storage...

Geting back to the point, my boss want to replicate the exchange database between servers in the cluster so that there is not a single point of failure in the NAS\SAN device.

Is this possible?

It seems to be only 3rd party tools which can achieve this..... Any ideas would be really good

Is a simple restore of backups to the repaired/alternative server not possible?

Otherwise, you could look at exchange 2007 CCR - it introduces replication functionality. Obviously, it's not released yet.
