I currently use Unison every 30 minutes to copy over my Apache stuff, |
| 2 |
while MySQL is running on the backup box as a slave to the primary box, |
| 3 |
which works beautifully. Unison tends to really hog the CPU power of both |
| 4 |
boxes during sync, and root has to have unobstructed ssh (priv/pubkey) |
| 5 |
access from/to each box. This may not be the best way of doing things, but |
| 6 |
just an idea. |

Possibly I might switch to rsync for the Apache stuff. What do you guys |
| 9 |
think? |

Best of luck to you! |
