What do you guys think of DRBD as a solution to this? Benefits: - fast synchronization - backup server failover possible - no changes to BackupPC itself or the backup strategy Caveats: - the very same device parameters on both servers: identical file system and size etc. - if not on a cluster file system, only one side gets to read/modify the data Thomas
