5507.5 Extended Backup with rapid recovery
Backup + Duplication of data to remote standby server machine using
-
Transaction logging via PostgreSQL replication management, in event of failure the standby server is ready to become the system server and there are no lost database transactions.
-
Rsync data file nightly
(Rsync is a program for synchronizing 2 directory trees across different filesystems even if they are on different computers)
The remote machine should NOT be in same geographic area, Muli have established our standby server (and Muli Hosting server at Gosford) clear separation. -
Remember you need to establish and verify a procedure to redirect end users to the new server and this is not instantaneous but provides the minimum down time in the event of major system failure.
