    I'm wanting to have a backup file server running so that if our main server
    gives up the ghost that I can be back up an running in a matter of little
    time as possible. Can rsync be used to do this. I was thinking that I could
    maybe have it setup to where it would sync up the directory on the main
    server to the backup each night an then if I had a problem with the main
    one I could transfer the users to the other machine an then be back up in
    less time. I know that any work done after the sync would not be there but
    at least I would have the past days data to work with an the users would
    just have to recreate one days worth of work at the least.
    If this is not possible can someone suggest another solution that would.

    I have a raid level 1 running on the server so I have redundant hard drives
    if one goes bad.
    I just went threw a problem where the raid controller was what went bad so
    I was down totally. I have a spare machine that would be ok for a server in
    a backup roll if needed for a few days.

    thanks for info.
