Can anyone help me? I have 2 servers on the same LAN, one as a live server and one as a backup server, both running SCO OpenServer Enterprise. I need to mount the /u filesystem of the backup server as a directory on the live server, so that if I use the df -v command I can see it as an additional filesystem on the live server, eg assuming I mount it as /dev/back:
Mount Dir Filesystem blocks used free %used
/ /dev/root 1296384 972142 324242 75%
/stand /dev/boot 30720 15264 15456 50%
/u /dev/u 2506540 1874904 631636 75%
/back /dev/back ???????? ???????? ??????? ??%
I would then use crontab to cp -r all directories within the /u filesystem of the live server to this filesystem on the backup system at scheduled times after hours.
Is it possible to do this, or do I have to set up nasty ftp scripts to do it instead?. I tried using rcp but it resulted in rather spectacular kernel panics which did not go down too well with the business owner. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
