What's the easiest method to backup my webserver onto a standby machine? It's running on Debian.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

rsync -vcr user@failover_server
add this to your crontab on your local acount, and set up no password ssh between the two boxes so you can automate the process. Kick it off arround the time you usualy deploy your webserver.

If you dont have rysnc (and you should) run apt-get install rysnc
