How do I make a clone of a server? One of my server are down all the time and won't be able to fix it till Monday. I have a server laying around that's doing nothing. How do I make a exact clone of the server? I also have to configure dns right? I need to make it so that if one person uploads to one server the other one gets it too.

Possibly "ghosting" the drives?

Yes,
for instance I think Norton Ghost works with Linux.

Would I have to pull the harddrive out? They are in the same cage and stacked on top of each other. Is there a way to do it using the network?

I also use Ghost quite often. It has lots of options. Correct me if I am mistaken but I am almost certain it can also ghost across networks. :) :)
