#3 Re: Debian server redundacy Posted by randallb (68.45.xx.xx) on Fri 30 Mar 2007 at 16:35 I've also been looking for a server redundancy solution recently. I would probably give DRBD a try if I could simply switch to it with little or no downtime. I really wish there was a way to simply add a failover server to an existing server without changing too much on the existing server. It looks like I'm just going to rsync each night the important stuff (data, /etc/, /usr/local/) to special locations on the backup server and also use mysql replication. If the main server fails and the drives are unusable, I could just do a manual failover, using the rsync'd files. Not nearly as nice as DRDB, but does not require any major modifications to the production server to set it up.
