mirroring cPanel

[Gus]

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can mirror servers.
Or mirroring the servers so that what every is on one will be on the other as a backup server.

Thank you.

You might look at rsync.

I haven't used the following script (ribs) yet but it might be worth a look.

there is no other way?
I know the DNS servers is going to be one of the main stuff like NS1 , NS2 LA server. NS3 , NS4 NY server . I am guessing something that would copy root save. and keep saving each new file from server to backup server. so if LA server would go down the DNS to NS1 , NS2, would not work so it would roll over to NS3 , NS4 to the new server and would be on and running. Then again has anyone done this? or am I just making this up in my head.
Or is there away to network VPS's ?

if anyone knows anything let me know Plz.

From.

There is a way - we've got two servers in two seperate datacenters synchronising data between themselves every 5 minutes. If the "backup" server detects the main server is unavailable for any reason (even if it's just Apache down, MySql down or a whole network/hardware failure), then it'll take complete control over all applicable sites. Maximum of 5minutes outage.

However, due to the work we had to put into getting the script working etc etc, I can't give too much information (commercial confidentiality and all that), but I think I can say have a look at how /scripts/cpbackup works - that'll start you going...

That's the spirit!
