Depends on what data is on the system, if it is just static content then I would configure the backup system the same way as the primary and setup a rsync over ssh job to keep the web content in sync. If there is a database or other things then it can be more complicated. nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
