Controller and motherboard both crashed and 1 HDD was corrupt. Managed
to make image of other HDD and used that to restore server capabilities
- obviously a disaster recovery situation so I want to be prepared in
the future just in case.

If your email system is not already on a RAID array, you should consider
this option. You didn't specify the reason for the failure, but if it
was
due to hard drie failure, and RAID would mitigate that problem. You can
also
simply mirror the boot drive with a separate drive. Finally, keeping the
data on drives other than the one running the OS and mail program can
help
you get back up and rolling faster.
