Are your production servers VMs? If so, then you simply need a means
of getting a copy of them to your DR site. Your RPO will determine if
you need periodic snapshots or realtime replication to your DR site.
I will be demonstrating SteelEye DataKeeper, my company's DR solution
for Hyper-V, at Microsoft's Virtualization launch event in Bellevue on
Monday. The same technology can be applied to Microsoft Virtual
Server 2005 - but I'd highly suggest you take a close look at Windows
Server 2008 and Hyper-V.
If you have Physical servers in your primary data center, you will
need to look at some P2V tools, including the one included in
VMM..

Platespin also has some great P2V technology, but I'm not sure if they
support MS Virtual Server 2005 - I doubt it.
