Hi all, firstly, big thanks to the developers of ispconfig 3, been great so far

Is it possible in a multi-server setup to have each server configuration mirrored to one backup server?

e.g. consider this setup of servers:
- cp (main ispconfig interface)
- mail (handling all email)
- web1 (web sites & db)
- web2 (web sites & db)

The 'cp' server controls all the other servers.

Could we then have a 'mirror' backup server, where all configuration is stored.
So 'mirror' has details of cp, mail, web1, and web2 servers.

Basically this mirror would be a very simple backup server, that 'could' if needed run everything by itself (mail, web, db)

In the ispconfig admin panel, I can only see the option of assigning one server to be a mirror of one other.
one-to-one

Can we do one-to-many?

Thanks

Not in the current versions. With ISPConfig 3.0.2.1 you can mirror only one to one.

Would this be technically possible though, in theory?

I don't mind jumping into the code and making a patch for this feature.
e.g. if the 'mirror_server_id' field in the server table is the one needed, maybe turn this field into a comma separated list, and then modify the code to loop through each mirror server when running each job.
