Hi We have a file system that is mirrored by rsync across two systems to save net work traffic and increase speed when accessing the files. It also allows one of the machines to be taken off site and still work.
At the moment I am backing up each filesystem separately. However since the file system is about the same size as out backup tapes I would like to be able to backup just one. I could just use a redundant automount to access the filesytems on the backup server such as mirror -ro server1,server2:/mirror and then use tar to backup the files. However running NFS on each machine just for this seems a bit excessive and it would be nice is I could get Amanda to backup up which ever of the servers responded.
