> You've not had to deal with high availability / redundancy before ? Actually, not on this level. I have always built websites for clients, some of whom were more concerned with uptime than others, but this is only the first business app that is used to run an office that I have hosted off-site. I've built business apps before, but always installed a server on-site.
I've had very few problems with my web server, but I do walk a fine line running people's websites without a backup server. I run a RAID 1 (mirroring) setup which provides redundancy in case of hard drive failure. And I have other PC's around that I can convert fairly quickly to a server if I need to. All data and websites are backed up daily in case of catastrophy. I haven't had time (or rather, made time) to trying to setup a fail-over server. When I looked at it before, I would have had to purchase Windows 2000 Server Advanced to achieve that, and that was cost- prohibitive. I take one step at a time as a 1-man operation. There's only so many irons I can put into the fire at once.

It's a big area to get into, what with risk/threat assessment etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262045 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
