I have experimented abit with rsync and it looks like = it would do the job. My question is; what files or binaries should not, or cannot be = replicated? Obviously the kernel should be separate. I want to be able to take the backup, plug it in where the primary was, = change the IP and everything would be as it was up until the point of = the last rsync. Thanks Tom
