[Casper] Disaster Recovery

[Ernst, Craig S.]

I have our second Mac server setup as a secondary distribution point that gets synchronized automatically each night. I actually have a folder in the same CasperShare folder for the database backups to save to as well so they too get replicated to the other server.

In theory, if my primary server bit the dust I should be able to run the JSS Setup Util against the second server, get it installed, then install the most recent nightly JSS Backup already saved up to the server, update the DNS pointer and it's done. Might need to fiddle with user accounts and permissions for the file share as well. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes though.

Someone let me know if my logic is off here. I know I brought up this discussion before as well.

I'm looking into implementing Disaster Recovery and wanted to see how users on this list go about doing this for JSS. Currently have two servers dedicated for JSS use. One is the production server running JSS and repository for all data/packages. The other is in stand by in case case primary goes down. What I like to learn is how quickly you can recover if your primary goes down and how you go about backing up/sync to your 2ndry server if any.

Thanx in advance
