This two-part article outlines a step-by-step disaster recovery process for a single Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition Front End Server. In Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition Disaster Recovery Plan, Part 1, we discuss how to prepare an effective disaster recovery plan. In Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition Disaster Recovery Plan, Part 2 we discuss the restoration process.
A single server Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition deployment installed on a physical hardware server provides the lowest level of fault tolerance of all the supported Lync Server 2010 deployments. If a Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition server fails due to a physical hardware failure, the current Lync Server 2010 implementation may become unrecoverable. To ensure that you can recover this type of Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition deployment, you must have a comprehensive disaster recovery plan in place. A disaster recovery plan should include the following: a replacement hardware server, a current backup of the existing Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition topology components, and backups of the Lync Server 2010 Standard Edition user information.
