What's the best way to replicate the contents of servers?

Here's the situation. Got a client who wants to take his 5 existing servers - one a general file/app server, one an email (probably Exchange) server, one running MS SQL, and I'm not sure about the roles of servers 4 and 5. Needless to say, he wants to take
the existing servers and relocate them to his home. He also wants to replace the servers with new versions. The old servers are running an older version of Windows Server (assuming 2003 but could be newer) - but he IS willing to spend money upgrading
the OS if need be.
He wants to take the 5 servers and replicate the contents from the old servers to the new ones. Then periodically update the old group with the updated data on the new group - so in case of disaster, he can quickly either move the old servers back to his
office OR at least recover the data quickly by way of a sync session.
What is the best way to go about this? Will he need to upgrade the OS on the old servers to make it happen? Money isn't much of an obstacle.

Here's some info on migrating the file server.

For exchange migration I'd ask them here.

The sql should be faily simple backup / restore but better to ask them over here.

What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?

What's he best way to include Adobe PDFs on my blog?
I create worksheets as a teacher and would like to share them from my blog. Currently I am linking to Scribd etc to share PDFs. If I upload the worksheets as an image is there a way to adjust the size/resolution of the PDF for easier viewing?
Thanks!

PDFs are just files. Can you upload files to your blog space? If yes, just upload the PDFs then, in a blog entry, provide the web link (URL) for each file (PDF).
Or, place the PDFs into your free acrobat.com "files" storage (5GB free). You have one as you have an Adobe ID (needed to make your post here eh).
https://cloud.acrobat.com/
You can have acrobat.com provide a "share" link to the PDF. Place that into a blog entry.
Or - same idea as above (use a "file share" service) -- Microsoft's OneDrive, Adobe's Creative Cloud, Google drive, DropBox, others ...
Be well...

What is the content Tab

Hi All,
We have just started using OBIEE as a business intelligence solution and I am in a process of creating RPD for our current data model. However, as I have gone through the official oracle documentation and various posts but I am still not sure what is the CONTENT tab of an LTS signifies logically?
Can anyone please elaborate upon this with a small example or direct me to a more precise documentation with an example?
I will be highly thankful.
Thanks,
Ronny

Thanks but it's not mandatory
and give only those who
want.
If it was possible for me, I will give you a little
bit of point because I'm now sure that you
can't use the tab content of an lts for a level based
measure ;-)
good evening and go Netherlands !

since in this case you dont seem to have a key value to figure out what your header is, it is better to go for a two level mapping. i.e first read all the data - each line as an xml tag. and in the first mapping group it as required and then use it for your original mapping.

This is iweb development where after publishing, things look different in IE than other browsers. U r correct that this is due to IE software but is iWeb related. After all, one uses iweb not to just publish in Safari but for all browsers.
Which means that you are only considering half of the problem, but that's your choice.

What is the "Content" DVD used for in CS5 Master Collection?

Hey Everybody,
Sorry--I know there must be some cue I am over looking somewhere, but what is the Contents DVD fo in the 4 disk CS5 Master Collection Installation Pack? I have installed everything on a new MacBook Pro. First 3 DVDs are very logical (in terms of what they contain and how to install them), but the 4th one just has a bunch or read-me files in various languages. Is there something on this disk I need to install?
Many thanks in advance!

What is a best way to write SQL ?

Sample Case
drop table t;

insert into t values ('A01', 11, 'R');

1/     In table t each reference having 2 records one with P another is with R
2/     In table b each refrence merged into single record and there are many records which are not existing in table t
3/      both t and j tables can be joined using a = j
4/     If from table t for a reference indicator is 'P' then if have to pick up l and m columns, if it is 'R' then I have to pick up n and o columns
5/     I want output in following format
A00     P     FIXED          100

Is this?

What is the best way of monitoring HD content in FCP?

I hope to get the Mac Pro listed below, What is the best way of monitoring my HD edit from FCP?
Can I output to a HDTV, or is a computer monitor better?
Do I need a capture card to output the signal, or is my below system adequate? i don't need one for capturing as i have will be using a Panasonic AG-HVX200 with P2 card, Can i use this camera to output to a TV/Monitor?
Message was edited by: calihal

Well, given your situation, the best option is the Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display. I have a full review here as to why it is a good solution.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/ross_shane/MXO.php
This will cost you $995 for the MXO, and $900 for the Apple display. So under $2k. The other options are more expensive. Broadcast quality HD LCDs start at $3500. And other capture cards range from $295 (decklink Intensity) to $3500 (AJA and Decklink). And HDTV will still require a capture card, like the Intensity with HDMI out, but won't be suitable for broadcast quality. It will, however, be perfectly fine for seeing what your HD footage looks like on an HD set that most people will have in their homes. So I take back my initial statement and say that if you have a tower, the Intensity and HDTV is your best option...if you aren't needing full broadcast quality. If you just need to see what it looks like.
