    file sync between 2 RHL boxes

    Hi folks,
    We have 2 servers here in my work. Both servers are identical running RHL.

    One of these boxes will be our live site and the other will be pre-production that will act as a fall back should anything happen to live.

    My question though is how can I sync the file contents from live to pre-production - any recommended tools out there?

    Anything that would be able to sync only files that have changed since the last sync would be great.

    Thanks,
    Steven

    Thanks Nathan - just found that there online at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do...x-servers.html

    Is it really as simple as that?

    Yes it is, you can sync almost realtime, if you want realtime take a look to DRDB filesystem. But yes, there are a lot of tutorials/howto's for rsync and it will complete the job

    yup, rsync can do wonders and has many options that are useful (currently using on a few sites that need clustering).
