I have two Windows 2000 server, (I need to use them as primary and secondary server) if the first server fail or malfunction, the second server should be ready with complete data.
how do I synchronize the two server for the data to be Identical.

Two way to do it.

1) Use the clustering capabilities of Windows 2000 advanced server. Have both systems hooked up to the same RAID disk array. When one fails the other will take over. Make sure you test the solution

2) Install the same software on both machines and then replcate the data between the primary and the secondary. When one machines fails you manually fail over to the second machine. Do not set your replication interval to short as there will be problems if a new replaction starts before the previous one is completed.

Thanks Norm
