Any modular messaging experts?

I have a question about modular messaging in a disaster recovery design. If I have MM at one site and a duplicate system at another site, is all configuration and MAC automatically updated between the systems?

That is what some documentation I have read seems to say and the setup I am researching specifically says a "Survivable" modular messaging. I just want to make sure that is the case before I state that it is.

A reason that I am asking is that a comparable Cisco system with Unified Messaging involves doing an actual backup and restore of the main system to the backup site. Cisco says that voicemail would be available while the restore was running and would involve a restart of the SERVICE after it was done. I don't have an answer of what about changes since the last backup? I could be restoring x6150 that used to be Bob, who left the company, and now x6150 belongs to Carol but the backup was from before Bob left so am I now restoring Bob's mailbox and password, etc.?

From the partner bidding on the telephone system upgrade. I laughed out loud when I read this:

<LI class=MsoNormal style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo6">Branch locations are 100% survivable opposed to limited SRST. We can reduce our design costs if the desire is to lower our survivability to the level of Cisco.
Our design includes fully survivable Messaging at separate Disaster Recovery location (primary at data center with backup at HQ). We can remove this capability to lower survivability to Cisco’s level.

That is funny. Pity that during an RFP you can't show that to Cisco, it would be interesting to hear their response. I hope that your management Cisco fan has seen it.
