RE: [cobalt-users] Is there a way to copy and move the entire con tents of the Hard drive

[Brandon Wheaton <brandonw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a script I wrote to work under Solaris. It is scheduled 
under cron and completely copies everything from the main drive 
to a standby once nightly. Think of it as a poor man's RAID1 :^)

You will have to tweak things a little for Linux operability, 
but the script is straight forward and should serve you well.

Take care.
