Situation:
We have a file server with a 1.6TB drive array. The data is crucial to
our company. It runs on a RAID 5 array with a hot spare and a battery
backed write cache. The underlying filesystem is Reiser3. Basically, I'm
not terribly worried about standard hardware failure. However, there
still remains the possibility for things like fire which pay no heed to
Reiser's atomic transactioning. And there's still the concern for human
behavior. ("What? Of COURSE I'm sure I want to delete that directory!")Proposed Solution: Build an identical server with another huge array. Put it out at a remote branch. Have a nightly cron job that runs rsync or something to copy over new data or files which have been changed (but to not replicate deleted files). Question: Does anyone have any suggestions or prior experience they wish to share?
