SideBar    Prerequisites for Exchange 2007 SP1's SCR

Executive Summary:
You can add site resilience to your Microsoft Exchange Server organization by implementing standby continuous replication (SCR) with Exchange Server 2007 SP1. You have to manage SCR through Exchange 2007's Exchange Management Shell (EMS) because the current version of Exchange Management Console (EMC) doesn't include any controls for SCR. In case of a server failure, you can make the SCR copy of the database the active database and restore user access to mailbox data with a five-step process


Standby continuous replication (SCR) is the big new feature in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1. SCR uses continuous log replication, or log shipping. You configure servers in a remote location (typically another data center) as targets to accept replicated transaction logs from source servers and to use the data to update local copies of mailbox databases. If catastrophe strikes the source server, you can use the copies of the mailbox databases to restore messaging service. The value of SCR is that it adds site resilience to the list of options you can consider when you plan for business continuity. . . .
