copying these directories:
- - /home/vpopmail/
- - /var/qmail/control/
- - /var/qmail/alias
and other directories that exists in both the servers and needs to be replicated, using rsync command:
rsync -avz -e ssh -R /home/vpopmail user@host:/home/rsync/back
on the otherhand it depends on you application, If the files and file systems are too heavey I/O _very_ busy or locked by applications copy/ftp/rsync... commands are not useful specially for DB and it is better to use mirror/shadow/standby features of database.
regarding rsync i have created my own script to move data, feel free to change it
the script i have tested on multiple linux server RHEL, Centos but AIX still need to be modified
