Hi there,
Im just after some advice on how everyone has their SQL Server set up for redudancy if you dont use SQL Clustering? i.e. a warm standby that you need to "Restore from backup" all the databases from the live server if it goes down?

Log shipping is perfect for a warm standby.

We use clustering and log shipping. We have a 3 node cluster (active/active/active) at the main site. We also have an idential cluster at our disaster recovery site that we log ship to.

We have a 5 9s requirement, so we're redundant everything.

I find it a bit hard to believe they have a redundant tkizer laying about. ;-)

Step 1 was the name change from TDuggan to TKizer

Step 2 is cloning ....
