As a part of business continuity plan we are going to have all our servers
replicated in a different place to which a fiber connection is available.
(Currently its running at 100Mb) Servers are running mostly RH Linux 7.2 to
8.x and couple of Win 2000 servers too.
I'm looking for a non-expensive software solution for this task.
Your help is appreciated,

Hello Priyantha,
For the RedHat boxes you can use rsync:

rsync is your best option on linux
On windows? Well, install cygwin (or at least a barebones version of cygwin) and see http://www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php

I know this thread is OT, but I think it's necessary to point
out rsync works for master/slave setups. Email, database, log
files, and FTP complicate matters.

Bill Stearns has some *excellent* information on combining rsync with
SSH & public/private keys if you need to backup the data in a secure
fashion.

If all you need is straight rsync, he has a script for that too:
