RE: [SLE] File Sync between two separate servers

Hi All,

We have a situation where we have a primary file server, and a back up one, what I would like to do is sync up changes from the primary file server (directory /somestuff for example) with the backup server's /somestuff directory. Ala, any files that have been changed on the primary get copied to the backup machine say once a day?

I know mirroring HD's in the same system would be a better way to go, but has someone done something like this before?

I do every day with Unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ There should be unison packages available with your distribution. I think SuSE 8.0 and above have unison. If not, there's binaries available from the web site. -jrh
