    I have (7)Windows 2008 file servers and I am currently backing these  up without any problems.  I also have shadow copies enabled and everything works fine.  My company would like a better D/R solution and I am looking for other options to get a file server back online extremely quickly in the event of a server crash without having to cluster each file server.  ThThe D/R server does not have to be 100% updated, but we just want to get something up and maybe change the shares permissions so everyone is in read-only mode until we get the original file server back online.  We have plenty of network bandwidth between the servers and I will keep using tapes incase the data ever gets corrupted due to a virus, etc, but does anyone having any good ideas?





    I was thinking maybe creating 1 huge server(tons of storage)and then use DFS(DFS-R) or robocopy to replicate the data from each file server to this 1 backup server.  Obviously there would be a lot of traffic flowing initially but once everything is synced you can keep robocopy running on each file server and syncing the data as needed.  Then if the 1 of the file servers crash I could maybe rename the backup server(lower TTLs on the DNS names of the other file servers) and mount the correct data and have a file server back online quickly.  There has to be a better solution because everytime we would restart the server we would need to script robocopy to run, etc., but I just can not think of anything simple and do not think Data Protection Manager 2007 could help with this either.  Anyone have any ideas on probably the simplest way to replicate storage across a network and have a file server on standby?  If there is any P2V ssoftware out there that would only replicate the change, that would work as well.
