bullfrog3459 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can sync more then 1 file server in TCAdmin? LMK Thanks! TMK as long as the file structure is the same regarding how the games and mods and what not are arranged and that they all are zipped or not zipped then yes you should be able to put more than one.

integrapynoy Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Would both file servers be synced and running simultaneously? I'm just trying to set it as a backup should 1 fail. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 They would not synched at once. You would need to mirror any changes to both of them manually if you wanted to keep them the same. You would also need to manually change the server that the remote servers are pulling from if one went down. Best suggestion would be to keep a iso image of the fileserver and a spare box. This would allow you to load a server quickly in case of failure to the main one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 We use one file server and keep a mirror on another server just in case. We just manually update the backup game files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Same as sickpuppy except that I automated the backup to not bother updating everytime I add a mod/plugin/map/patch. this is the best solution so if your file server go down you just have to go in each server config and switch the file server.

integrapynoy Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Couldn't and wouldn't it be easier to just put both file servers in TCA and then if one goes down then you can just sync the other one instantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using another FTP server so I can upload exe,bat, etc and sync game installs files + their zip remotely (else thats zip only). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
