Geographical replication with Plesk

[thewolf]

Hi,

Is there any script or 3rd party add-on for Plesk for geographical replication of sites?

Let me make an example: we have some sites (PHP+MySQL) hosted on the primary Plesk server in one datacenter.

We want to replicate the same sites to a hot stand-by Plesk server in another datacenter.

If the primary Plesk server goes down (or its datacenter goes down), we update the IP addresses for the sites in question on our nameservers and point them to the stand-by Plesk server at the other datacenter.

So Plesk replication should be (near) real time for both files and databases to avoid losing changes when the main site fails.

We know to handle this manually (e.g. rsync for files and MySQL replication for databases), but we'd like to find a solution that integrates with Plesk (e.g. also copies over Apache settings, SSL certificates, allows to set different IP addresses for the backup sites, etc.).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, Parallels Panel does not support clusters. As you have mentioned - you can use rsync or some other solution replicating the data on the file system level.
