Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to like the idea of one SRP, and replicating Profile AND state databases between the 2 servers....

- 2 Domino servers running concurrently (Different Domino Server names, obviously)
- BES sw (identical versions) installed on BOTH of them with the same SRP (Obviously the BES Task only running on one server at a time - ServerA)
- Profiles and State databases replicating between the two Domino servers
- ALL BES Services running on both servers concurrently
- MSDE database on ServerA
- Both Domino servers point to the same MSDE database on ServerA
- ALL users on BESA (BES Task running), No users on BESB (BES Task not running)

If BESA goes down:

- restore MSDE database from backup to ServerB
- Point ServerB to local MSDE database
- MOVE users from BESA to BESB using the BlackBerry Manager on BESB
- Start the BES task on BESB

Voila. All users are back up and running, no new service books to send to the devices (same SRP).
