In theory you could use a script bring down cce gracefully, tar the =
essential stuff and copy somewhere at like midnight or so and then bring =
it back up and copy to an alternate location. There are a lot of file =
to be concern, but should be possible. In the event of a crash you will =
need to untar on top of an existing server and will recreate the =
environment. cce will take a few seconds to copy so the server should =
not be down for more than maybe 10 seconds or so, the rest is simple =
copy of files.
