Hi,
We have 2 Sun servers, a v480 and a v240. The v480 is
the production system and the v240 is the
test/failover box. We use TSM for backups over the
network. I need to build an effective Disaster
Recovery plan.
If I had to rebuild the v480 from a fatal crash, I'd
have to reinstall the OS from CD and then recover the
data from the TSM server. This doesn't seem like an
effective solution. Is there another backup strategy
that I should be looking at, maybe that could enable
me to netboot and rebuild the system exactly as it was
before the crash from the last backup? I don't want
to spend time recreating the slices and that sort of
thing (from a hardcopy partition table printout most
likely). I'd like an exact replica of the system from
the last backup. Commercial and non-commercial
solutions are welcomed.
What's the best way to keep the v240 in sync with the
v480? Using rsync makes sense I guess, but if there's
a better solution, I'd be interested in hearing. The
databases use Informix's C-ISAM
Will summarize.
Thank you in advance,
Joe.
