1. Exchange Disaster Recovery Tip: Save a clean directory database before your Exchange server crashes!

When your Exchange server crashed, most likely you need restore it from the tape. It is time consuming. But, If you have a clean and working dir.edb stored somewhere else, you don't need to restore it from the tape, just copy it back! So when your Exchange server is in a good condition, copy the dir.edb file to a save location such as another server, or your SAN. (Of course you want to do this during your scheduled maintenance time)
