Hi all, We have a server which is highly critical. Data loss or downtime on it is not an option so we have a hardware RAID 1 and also a second "hot host" (in another building) which replicates data from the main one every 30 minutes (via rsync). However it is this 30 minute window that concerns me because that leaves us open to 30 minutes of data loss. So basically what I'm asking is (without switching to Sun equipent) is it possible to do some sort of network RAID where data is written to both systems simultaneously? We need our system to carry on with no data loss even if one of the servers should suffer a complete system failure (ie be blown up or thrown out of the window)...... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to receive faxes to your personal email address?
