If you're doing something rsync-like, and if your buildings are close, you could simply move the backup server to the primary server's location, reconfigure the network interface, and drop it in as a replacement for the dead fileserver. That might be safer than risking a previously-mentioned fumblefingers. In that case, you might want a backup of the backup machine, so that if you deploy the backup in this way, it doesn't become a single point of failure. This might be more of a hassle than you want to deal with. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
