I have a production server that cannot go down and a server slated for
mirroring. Can someone suggest a good method to (on a daily basis)
synchronize the production server's file system on the mirror as well as the
/etc directory including permissions, file ownership and the password file.
This procedure/solution/method must also be secure (rsync over ssh might
require allowing root login which is unacceptable), and cheap (Veritas
Netbackup is not possible). Implementation of this must be done without
taking down the production server or putting it in any risk. Tar and scp
would be tricky because of little disk space.
