I'm not aware of an out of the box open source or commercial solution that
would do what you probably want for a RaQ4.

rsync can be used to mirror files.  If you either want to manually
add/delete users and sites from the GUI on the destination server or don't
care if they appear in the GUI mirroring the files can be handled rather
easily using rsync.  Otherwise you'll probably want to use rsync in
conjunction with the Cobalt Migration Utility (CMU), which can be used to
export/import sites and users (and their files).  You'd also need scripts
(bash scripts would be easiest) to check which sites and users need to be
added on or deleted from the destination server so that a full server CMU
export/import isn't done on each update.

You said you're a Windows guy so I suspect this would be a fairly difficult
task for you to implement unless you're comfortable working in the shell and
have a short learning curve.  There are at least a few Linux/Cobalt server
admin / programmers, myself included, who could help you professionally if
that's what you're looking for.  And as always I'm willing to help on-list,
time permitting.
