You have two options I think: rsync drbd drbd is pretty cool and the bandwidth needed for the system is quite light (100MB card is acceptable). This is good in a short DR environment, specifically where your servers are concerned.

Hello folks:

I am running a single server hosting several domains, websites, email and email lists etc.

I am a bit nervous about have a catastrophic failure that takes the service down for as long as it takes me to rebuild things from backups.

I have a second box running the same version of SuSE. I thought it would be cool to be able to have an automated method that keeps the second box ( secondary backup box ) updated with the current files on the main server.

Any suggestions how to achieve this? Could it be as simple as using the "mirror" program? Rsync?
