Hi All,
We were thinking more about the mirror/backup system thread being posted
earlier. It occurred to me, wouldn't it be possible to use rsync to mirror
an entire Cobalt system to another one?
I know the Cobalt store a good deal of its configuration information in
Postgres, but with rsync the database files would get mirrored to the target
system too.
We are thinking of this not so much to support a 'hot mirror', but as a way
to have warm spares on hand that we could quickly (or automatically) bring
on line if the primary system failed.
