I need a server recommendation and installation guidance

[jm]

I have an existing server that is too old. I have to upgrade it.

It is Windows 2000 and will stay Windows 2000.

I can find a server from Dell, Gateway or somewhere else.

My main problem is how am I gonna get all the old data on the new
server? I have only done upgrades on existing machines. The old
server has the OS, of course, and I can reinstall all the necessary
ODBC drivers, files, etc., but it has an Exchange Server on it and I
am a little worried. I have no idea how to get that installation on
my new machine. Ideas? How do I get the information store off of one
machine to another?


Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Oh yes, server recommendation (up to three thousand dollars) is
appreciated also.

Hire someone to install your Exchange Server. He/she will know
how to set up everything, and how to get the data across.

Gee thanks.

I have decided to restore the new server from a backup.
