To mirror the DNR machine requires several items:

1. rsync daemon running on dnr.cbi.tamucc.edu
2. crontab entry on mirror machine to synchronize pobot
3. crontab entry on mirror machine to synchronize cbidb and recreate stnattr.dat and the smcorr table
4. crontab entry on mirror machine to synchronize clerk
5. crontab entry on mirror machine to synchronize clerk/archive

The file /etc/rsyncd.conf (reproduced below) is a symlink to ~cbidb/etc/rsyncd.conf. This file allows anonymous rsync connections to DNR from specified hosts. The host pc173.cbi.tamucc.edu was used for testing and should be replaced with the name or IP of the actual mirror.

rsyncd.conf

	
# rsyncd.conf

[cbidb]
	path = /u3/cbidb
	read only
	exclude = var/alert/* var/log/* etc/*httpd.conf
	hosts allow = pc173.cbi.tamucc.edu

[clerk]
	path = /u3/clerk
	read only
	exclude = var/* archive/*
	hosts allow = pc173.cbi.tamucc.edu

[pobot]
	path = /u4/pobot
	read only
	exclude = var/* inbox/* pobotarc/*
	hosts allow = pc173.cbi.tamucc.edu

[clerk-archive]
	path = /u3/clerk/archive
	read only
	hosts allow = pc173.cbi.tamucc.edu

The following are the crontab entries and scripts used on the mirror machine to keep its database up-to-date.
