Hi All

Not sure if this is the right forum. However I will ask and I can always move it.

What I have is an internal application that populates a database during working hours. This database (well a subset) needs to be copied out to two webservers. This is to happen once a day.

One web server is 'live' with the other being a warm backup.

FYI our internet connection is poor and it can take up to 3 hours to do a full replication. Which is to long for an international multi lingual website.

What do you all suggest?

Thanks

Then network bandwidth has to be good if 1 webserver needs to be live.

Hi visakh16

I have tried nightly backups but run into the problem of not being able to restore to a database that is in use. This is after taking the website off line first.
