Is there a way to mirror a plesk system?

[bgrampa]

Hello,
is there a way to mirror an entire plesk system on a different server? I want a backup server that, in cause of problems, can be turned on (changing ip) and able to replace the main one.
A simple solution could be to schedule a daily import (using the migration manager), but unfortunately it's not possible.
Do you have any suggestions? hints?

Thanks,
Bruno

From the Administrator's Guide:

Back up the entire server. You can do this only through the command line. The backup archive will include your control panel license key, mail server and DNS server settings, information on database servers, domain templates, virtual host skeletons, user accounts, domains, web sites with web content, SSL certificates, databases, site applications, and custom buttons.

Not exactly a mirror, but if you use the commandline backup tools and have a clean server standby you can restore that backup on the clean server when needed.

See http://download1.swsoft.com/Plesk/Plesk8.0/Doc/plesk-8-backup-restore-users-guide.pdf for the documentation.

mirror

Again:
Does anybody have any ideas for real mirroring a VPS?
The idea is to mirror a mailserver-VPS on different hardware-nodes.

Thanks a lot for your ideas.
