As a part of business continuity plan we are going to have all our servers replicated in a different place to which a fiber connection is available. (Currently its running at 100Mb) Servers are running mostly RH Linux 7.2 to 8.x and couple of Win 2000 servers too. I'm looking for a non-expensive software solution for this task. Your help is appreciated, Priyantha

rsync is your best option on linux On windows? Well, install cygwin (or at least a barebones version of cygwin) and see http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations

I know this thread is OT, but I think it's necessary to point out rsync works for master/slave setups. Email, database, log files, and FTP complicate matters.
