For a hot backup my solution involves DRBD with heartbeat. http://www.drbd.org/ http://wiki.linux-ha.org/ http://wiki.linux-ha.org/GettingStarted_2fDRBD and for the CVS side of it, try following the thread I started here: "cvs as a heartbeat client" http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-03/msg00182.html I have not yet gotten permission to post my cvs-heartbeat script, so you will have to (re)create it from the same notes I got.
