I've used rsync with some good success. Between (2) 450 Mhz PIII's systems with Barracuda drives, we kept about 2 GB of users, configuration data and websites sync'd to 15 minute intervals. I setup a private 'admin' LAN between the two systems to keep network performance on the customer side unaffected by the backup traffic. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Lewis" <schvin@schvin.net> To: "Rowan Crowe" <rowan@sensation.net.au> Cc: <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 4:28 PM Subject: Re: keeping identical copy of second drive > Rowan Crowe (rowan@sensation.net.au) wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I am just about to take delivery of a new 1RU machine which has identical > > 20Gb drives, one of them in a removable caddy.
