Hello,
As part of test restoring I would like to try restoring a Small Business Server 2008 server (from backup made with Backup Exec) to a virtual machine in VMware Workstation. The server also has Exchange that handles users email.
Our offsite network includes a VPN with the clients network where the live server is.
Are there any precautions I need to take to stop my restored virtual server from interacting with the clients network, causing damage to their domain or anything of that ilk?
My main concerns are this VM comes online and then starts sending thousands of repeat emails or breaks important databases.
Thanks
