I have an older machine which I am currently setting up to be like the primary machine which functions as a mail server and hosts two sites. I would like to backup (or rather mirror): a/ myslq data (all databases) b/ www content I am doing it to have a box to use should anything happen to the primary machine. Will I be better off using mysql synchronining solutions and a separate tool for syncing www content or is it better to become friends with a tool which is able to mirror both sets of data onto box B? Anything else I should consider here? Both machines are in our office. We are managing everything on our own and I would like to have a backup machine just in case... Many thanks for your practical suggestions! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
