Thanks for the PM, but it would be better if you respond in the thread so that others may also benefit.
So you have two SCO 5.0.5 machines that you want to have mirror each other.
If you are looking for a magic bullet, forget it.
SCO have solutions based on 5.0.7 and Unixware, that will provide this kind of product if you need minute by minute redundancy.
If you can live with once per hour or per day mirroring then use either NFS or FTP to copy the changed files from the primary system to the backup system.
An alternative is to add transaction logging to your application on the primary system, and have a background process on the secondary machine post those transactions to the data files on that machine.

ruptime(1) General Commands Manual ruptime(1)
NAME
ruptime - show status of local machines
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
outputs a status line for each machine on the local network that is running the daemon. status lines are formed from packets broadcast
once every 3 minutes between daemons (see rwhod(1M)) on each host on the network. Each status line has a field for the name of the
machine, the status of the machine (up or down), how long the machine has been up or down, the number of users logged into the machine, and
the 1-, 5- and 15-minute load averages for the machine when the packet was sent.
The status of the machine is reported as ``up'' unless no report has been received from the machine for 11 minutes or more.
The length of time that the machine has been up is shown as:
Load averages are the average number of jobs in the run queue over the last 1-, 5- and 15-minute intervals when the packet was sent.
An example status line output by might be:
The above status line would be interpreted as follows:
is presently ``up'' and has been up for 1 day, 5 hours and 15 minutes. It currently has 7 users logged in. Over the last 1-minute inter-
val, an average of 1.47 jobs were in the run queue. Over the last 5-minute interval, an average of 1.16 jobs were in the run queue. Over
the last 15-minute interval, an average of 0.80 jobs were in the run queue.
If a user has not used the system for an hour or more, the user is considered idle. Idle users are not shown unless the option is speci-
fied.
Options
If no options are specified, the listing is sorted by host name. Options change sorting order as follows:
Sort by load average.
Sort by up time.
Sort by the number of users.
Reverse the sort order.
DIAGNOSTICS
No status report files in
Ask the system administrator to check whether the daemon is running.
