Site Backup

I was wondering if there was any way to backup one site to another site on a different server. So if the first site goes down you could redirect users to the second site and it would be the same.

I looked through the backup in cpanel and it did not seem like it has this functionality. If anyone knows of a script that can do this it would be awesome.

Thank You

yess... lets assume you down want to download the entire server, then upload to a second server... that would be time consuming.. and limited to your ISP provided bandwidth.

you will need ssh or evil telnet access.

do a remote loggin to serverA with telnet or preferably ssh.
one inside ServerA, open a FTP connection to ServerB with the program FTP.

switch to binary mode with the ftp cammand bin.

then upload all the files to server B.

Is there a way I could have it automatically backup every night, without me doing anything to it?

Regular Backups are the Job of the Administrator.
on a well maintained server, every week or so the hard drives will be dumped to tape and put in storeage.

its not your job to backup in this way.
talk to the adminitrator of the server and ask them about what backup procedures they have in place.

Backup DNS For Domain - (4)

Hey, I'm not sure the technical term, but you know how domains have primary and secondary name
servers? Well, I know that when you go to a domain, it queries NS1.ASTAHOST.COM (for example if you
were hosted here) and if NS1 is down, it goes to NS2. Well, what I have a web server running on my
network and what I'd like to do is have it setup with a "Site Temporarily Down" message and then
if the server goes down for example.com, NS1 & NS2 also go down, have it redirect to a third DNS
server to redirect it to the server on my network with the "Site Down" message....

Netgear Questions - What is this 'site survey' tab? (7)

NetGear has been installed on my computer for quite a while....and I use it for Wireless Internet.
Recently I tried reading some articles about how to secure my wireless Internet through WEP/WPA

which Mac addresses to block. I was wondering if there was a way to see who is using my wireless
connection to get on the Internet. I have no idea which tab in the NetGear information pop-up tells
this, but I was guessing that the 'site survey' tab did the job. Except then if...
