- There is an article in the December 21, 1992 LAN TIMES about the newest
- release of SFT (SFT III), and using it to mirror servers. The article
- says it's still in beta.
-
- You could also configure a fully functional "hot spare", but if your
- server went down, you would still have to perform the necessary surgery.
- This of course would not be 100% fault tolerant, but with a hot spare,
- and mirrored drives on your server, you'd be in pretty good shape for
- a minor disaster.
-
- Hope this helps.
