Security News > 2021 > August > How to Reduce Exchange Server Downtime in Case of a Disaster?

Exchange Server downtime may occur at any point in time due to several reasons, such as malware attack, server crash, database corruption, and hardware or software-related issues/incompatibility.

Exchange Server downtime is inevitable, especially when your organization relies on a standalone on-premises Exchange server.

To avoid downtime and data loss due to database corruption, administrators can create Volume Snapshot Service or Volume Shadow Copy Service-based backups in Microsoft Exchange Server using the Windows Server backup plug-in.

To prevent malicious attacks, such as Hafnium, you must install the Exchange Server and Windows Server updates as they arrive.

You can redirect the users to the other server and turn off the main server for hardware and software maintenance without causing any downtime.

For Server Level Disaster recovery, you can use the Setup /m:RecoverServer to recover and restore a failed Exchange server.
