If you want the servers to be constantly mirrored, I can't help, but otherwise the CMU will probably do it. For example, once a week you could use the CMU tools to mirror from one to the other. If you wanted it more frequently you could script it. Creating a script can be difficult, but if you get good at doing the CMU manually, there's a program called 'expect' that will record what you type and create a script from it. Then you can replay your script daily (or however often you like) to keep the servers in sync. I know some people use the CMU tools as their primary means of backup. That's too bandwidth intensive for me, but it sure would make doing a restore easy. There are many people on this list (not me) who have the ability to help you create a solution like this for a fee. If you have the do-it yourself mentality and the time to burn, try using the CMU. (can someone send a link to that? I can't find it) There are many helpful and knowledgeable people who can help you answer a specific question.
