syncronize via networkercommand?

[koenlibbrecht]

Hi all,

I know that you can "copy" your files via the uasm command from one volume of the server (in this case Win2000 server) to another volume on another server. I use this command to copy during weekend the datavolume of a server to a "hotstandby" emergencyserver.

an example of the syntax used in a batchfile sheduled by the standard win2000 sheduler is:

uasm -s -i <source> | uasm -r -m <source>=<destination>

Now i would love to finetune this and use a command to do a differential copy each day from source to destination.

This means that any file created after the last &quot;syncronize&quot; will be created on the destinationvolume and every file deleted after the last &quot;syncronize&quot; will be deleted on the destinationvolume.

If i shedule this command each eve, then every morning i have an online backupserver totally equal to the sourceserver. This gives the security that when the sourceserver crashes, users can start to login directly and immediately to the backupserver and start working again. (with in the worst case losing only the work of that day)

thanks in advance for your help,

Koen

I don't think usam is best for this type of work.. For UNIX, try rdist. For Windows platforms, I believe Robocopy should do the trick.

Good Luck!
