What I do is
purchase ( if money is an
option ) a near identical server, then create your own scripts just to
copy
changed data, using the tar program. For Mysql I use Mysql dump. Do not
host
any sites using postgreSQL so no advice in that area. Cron will only
have to be
copied once, same with most of your config files. DNS obviously is not
an
issue.
I have my
setup working, mirroring data
daily.
Have you
thought about renting a dedicated
server for the role you are after?

Yes i need to mirror all
functions, programs, crons,
databases etc to do with a web server. I have been looking this up and
it
seems, as roberto said in an earlier post, its is going to be an
expensive
exercise. I really need a cheap option at the moment if there is such
a
thing.
Cheers

Hi All,
I have a server that i need to mirror elsewhere for data redundancy
purposes. What is the best way to have this done? The sites on my box
are MySQL and PostgreSQL driven so those need to be on both machines as
well. Ideally id like to have a main server and in any event that the
main server went down, switch to the other server.
Any info greatly appreciated
Do you mean that you need to mirror the MySQL & PostgreSQL
databases, or some non-database files, or both?
