Small Business Server 2008 Backup

I recently had my first experience with SBS 2008's restore process. I must say I'm impressed at how well it worked. It was a bit of a disaster recovery situation (aren't they always). I'll post more about this later, but suffice it to say in a 4 drive RAID5 system, half the drives had failed. After replacing the drives, we booted to the SBS 2008 installation media and started the restore. Within 2 hours, the server was backup as if nothing had happened. Most impressive Microsoft!

My first post is dedicated to Michelle. Thanks for turning this blog over to me. Perhaps we'll have some guest posts from her once and a while.
