Hi,
The master server : 10.10.11.1 is p2prddnmdbm
I got a real time slave with the recovery process : p2prddnmdbs
I have a third copy with a H-24 data : p2prddnmdbc
On this server I need to have the copy of the master at 23H00 every day.
So I'm using the script send before.
During the day the buisness modify the database on server p2prddnmdbc
and that's why I use a rsync --delete every night to get a clean copy of
the prod server.
So what's the best way to do the restore ?
Thanks
Matthieu
