Hi,

I have Exchange 2003 in Windows Cluster. We want to have a DR for our
Exchange environment. Is it possible to have Exchange in DR site and restore
Exchange database of production to DR Site so there is minimal time required
to bring up Exchange in case of total disater at production site.

I will be very thankful if anyone help me on this.
Regards
Kartik

If you have an identical server and can get your backups there, sure.
However, you might consider looking at E2007 and CCR.

Exchange 2007 SCR would be a better option.
