I am not an linux expert, but was wondering whether in principal the
following is 'do-able' ...

Have CMU backup to an FTP server every night and then have another
backup server running cmuImport every night on a cronjob to duplicate
the other server. Then if the primary goes down we could have some sort
of heartbeat monitor that switches across to the backup. Yes, users may
get some dupe mail, but apart from that everything should carry on
before ... or am I being na$B}W(Be here?
