Why not just use an online backup service? Mozy? Carbonite? I use Carbonite and it works well. I've used Mozy, too, and it was fine, until they doubled their prices overnight.

Hi I am getting a little worried about this hurricane.. we were just told to evacuate on Saturday.. I have my server in my office. The website runs a brain cancer registry with pretty important database stuff. More valuable than money:) How would you approach setting up a redundant server across the country so if my town gets wiped out, we still have access to the website? The problem would be: keeping the databases synched DNS stuff: how to set up DNS so that if my main server goes down, people are directed to the backup website and when the server is back up, the dns reverts back to the main site? I use MS SQL server for the database. It is not a high volume of transactions per day - but they are kind of important. thanks Al ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347028 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
