Hi Scott, Thanks for your reply. That's an interesting way of achieving redundancy. In regards to your setup, does the secondary server share the same Postgresql or backend database? Could you provide more details on which files/folders you backup/sync with the secondary server?
Thanks! For the InterMapper Team at Dartware, is there an official best practice to achieve redundancy? For backup/sync setup like the one used by Scott above, what files and folders should be backed-up or sync'ed? Regards, Leonard Siu Quantum Data Systems (H.K.)

When the primary server goes done, we manually enable the service. All the steps are automated via windows scheduler. --------------------------------------------- Scott Piehn JCWIFI.com Division Manager Computer Dynamics 451 W.
