Error Need a redundency solution for Solaris.

Dear friends,
I look after 10 Solaris servers. What I need to do is to come up with a solution so that in case one of the servers dies, be able to create the same server in the shortest possible way. I believe in Windows OS they use something called "Ghosting ". My question is what should I use to do the same in Solaris.

I await for your responses in anticipation.

Best regards
Snili

a few good tools for unix backups when you do not have a tape drive are:
dd
rsync
netcat

There are numerous articles on using these with a quick search on google. Smilie

You might consider looking at different RAID architectures.

A google search on keywords RAID and mirror should result in a nice return.
