- 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).

There's 1 issue with this scenario. The problem is have 2 Domino server.
If you move all the users to BESB and the user run's the BlackBerry Desktop Manager it's going to look for BESA. The user would have to change it to BESB and back when BESA is up again. Of course you can tell the user not to use the desktop software when BESA is down.
