Directory Replication in HP-UX 10.20

[Darrell Lindsey_1]

Hello Forum,

I have setup a standby database on a separate machine for my primary system and
all is working well, but I am stuck with the replication of my user directories
and files. What I need to know is if there is a tool or application in which
to replicate the operating system files (such as user prints, etc) over to a
directory on our backup machine.
I know it can be scripted, but I would prefer to use a tool if possible.
Thanks for the assistance,

Take a look at the rdist utility. I've never used it, but, it looks like it
will help you. Information on it is in the Internet Services, Installing and
Administering guide.
Basically you give it a list of files to keep in sync. When any of those files
are out of sync it pushes updates out to other systems or pulls from the
master. I'm not positive which.
For user directories where new files are created and old ones deleted, you may
need to script something to update the list for you. Maybe it can work at the
directory level. Take a look.

Thanks, Dave!

I'll definitely look into it and thanks for taking the time to respond.
