That has worked well for us--been using a customized version of
nvhotbackup for over a year now. It tars up key directories and copies
them over as well. We put in some error checking that fires a TEC event
if there are problems.

Should work fine so far as I can see.  hat's what hotbackup was for --
synchronizing the backup server w/o taking the primary down.

James-

Thanx for the info, it came in Handy..

Now for my next question.. I want to create a backup 7.1.3 server in my
environment.  Can I install 7.1.3 on my backup server, restore the
backup
using nvhotbackup which I currently do twice a day for the primary 7.1.3
server, then do a reset_ci for the new server?

Thanx.
