Standby Server runs on Linux and it will function as a backup
server for NT Server, NT Workstation, 2000 Server, 2000 Pro, Novell,
Unix, or Linux as well . The software is installed on the Linux
server only. Optional software included with SOS may be installed
on the NT/2000 server. Sync2NAS, an archiving utility and Beyond
Compare, a utility that can used to compare shares on both servers.
The software comes on CD or can be downloaded. Installation is
quick and easy and can be accomplished in just minutes. The S.O.S.
software package is installed on the standby server. The installation
is as simple as typing ‘install’ and pressing enter.
Sixty seconds later the install is finished. An icon is created
on the desktop.
Launch the GUI interface and type in the name and IP address
of the main server, enter a username and password, click ‘Refresh’
and the available shares on that server are listed in the ‘Available
Shares’ window. Select which shares you want mirrored, click
‘Save Configuration’ and then click ‘Start Sync’.
That’s all there is to it.
