If I'm not mistaken (I'm not a server person much) but doesn't Win2k offer replication? If it does that should be sufficient I would think. My company does it the back asswords way and some one pushed content to each box. Thank god it isn't me.
The back up thing is tricky I think. You could be backing one up and what if it has a virus you don't catch or gets corrupted and backed up? I'm not sure what the right answer is for that one. I think my company backs up each of our clustered boxes. Hope that helps a bit John Wilker Web Applications Consultant, Writer Macromedia Certified ColdFusion Developer Founder/President IE CFUG www.red-omega.com Whatever is wrong it is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Unless of course you just got poked in the eye with a sharp stick. -----Original Message----- From: Glenn M. Cross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 5:40 AM To: CF-Server Subject: Clustering for Newbies Couple of "clustering for newbies" questions for the list. I'm going to have two servers setup identically on an intranet and they will be acting as a two node cluster. For those of you doing clustering, what do you use to synchronize content from one node to the other. I expect to setup one of the servers to receive updated content from developers through file shares and then I will have to have some type of realtime synchronization of the data over to the other server. How do you keep the content synced between servers? Next question, I would assume for those doing local tape backups on clusters setup such as this, that one would just cable up the tape drive to one of the servers (we'll call it the primary) and then backup just that server; make sense? These two servers are web servers only (IIS 5.0, CFMX Enterprise). Thanks for input.
