At my job we have a web server our boss wants cloned just in case it goes down so we can have minimal down time, it has gone down in the past and it's taken us a few days to get back up after trying to troubleshoot the problem which turned out to be a bad wall socket. Now I was thinking about using clonezilla and just cloning the drive but like I said before we want minimal down time and as far as I know clonezilla would require shutting down the server before cloning. Earlier I was told about a method that mirrors one drive to another and everytime a change is made to the primariy it's copied onto the secondary, sort of like a raid set up but not with raid. I'm still researching into that to see if that's a viable solution. Any suggestions to accomplish this? Also as a FYI I can't install any hard drives into the server to start a raid and I will be backing up to a external USB drive either connected to it directly or to another machine, either or will work. Thanks!<br>

Yes, I have a DVD drive, but what I don't have is the "know-what" and a<br>
little of the "know-how" to put on the DVD(s). Here is the link on GT mirror<br>
site for CentOS 5.6 h<br>

what do I need to pull down from among those files to make a successful<br>
install? In what order?<br>
<br>

GT doesn't have the full DVD iso. only the torrents.<br>
<br>
Yes. It's more a single DVD. The choice was to not require a double layer<br>
DVD.<br>

First, download the 2 DVD image files from here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso" target="_blank">http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso</a><br>
<a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso" target="_blank">http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso</a><br>
<br>
Burn those 2 separate /*image*/ (.iso) files to 2 separate blank DVDs<br>
/*as images*/ (not as a regular file) and label them accordingly (DVD 1<br>
of 2 and DVD 2 of 2)<br>
Then boot off the freshly burned 'DVD 1 of 2' and follow the prompts...<br>

Try this link <a href="http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/centos/" target="_blank">http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/centos/</a> Follow the links<br>
until you get a page listing the various iso's available and choose both<br>
of the dvd images. Make sure you click on the isos link. The Tech site<br>
is linking to torrents for the dvd. The Tech link is not a page where<br>
you can download the torrents.<br>
<br>
Open your cd/dvd burning software, such as Brasero, you should be able<br>
to select burning an iso image or have it recognize as an iso image.<br>
