From time to time I get this questions:
- "How can I know if the BizTalk is the right tool for the job?"
- "How to plan for disaster recovery?"
- "How to configure BizTalk for high availability?"
- "How to have different environments with BizTalk?"
- "What should I backup in the BizTalk databases and how?"
- "How to use log shipping? Is it possible?"
- "How to deploy using scripts?"
Certainly you have also asked yourself this sort of questions. Well, lucky for you there's now a great document with the answer to this questions and to a lot more. You can get it here (there's a PDF, DOCX or CHM version).
This document was assembled based on real-world experiences. It's called the "BizTalk Server Operations Guide".
For more details check the BizTalk Server Team blog.
Until next time ;)
