Hi managers,

Couple quick questions to pick your brains if you don't mind.

I am working on implementing a disaster recovery plan and was curious to
what people on this list use for mainly their Tru64 systems in case of
disaster. My main concern is getting another system online by the next day
with a duplicate load of my current system and being able to restore our
databases to this, but on top of this I'm curious as to the best way of
rerouting network traffic as well. I've found a few resources online where
I can restore a a Tru64 system via Custom written CDs..

Now is this a viable solution? What about setting up a failover system at
one of my remote sites with a fault tolerant frame system? Just looking for
some ideas, or something that you guys have personally used.
