How can I best use Virtual Server 2005 for Disaster Recovery?

I need to design a coop and disaster recovery site. I have just begun using
Virtual Server 2005. If I buy Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager will this
help me move Server's in a Disaster Recovery Situation?

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..http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb740791.aspx.
Platespin also has some great P2V technology, but I'm not sure if they
support MS Virtual Server 2005 - I doubt it.

I work for the Department of the Army and Windows 2008 has not been approved
and probally won't until it first Service Pack has been released.
