Syncing file system images between two Windows 2008 servers

[bmann]

Hello. I have a project to sync file system images in 53 directories on our production database server with a new failover Database server on Windows 2008 server. Can I use SQL Server 2008? It would be nice to sync within 15 minutes of each other. Not critical, but would like the best performance. i would appreciate anyone's response.

so every 15 minutes you want to look for new or changed files and sync them with anouther server?

Yes. Maybe sooner if possible. I have been reading about Robocopy. Are you familiar with the Windows 2008 server robocopy? I am interested in the best solution. Thanks.

There are lots of products out there to do that... I don't think SQL Server 2008 would be very effecient way of doing that at all.

There are programs that can monitor the file system itself.
