Is this as confusing as it seems? I'm fairly new to this type of configuration, and somebody recently asked me about it. I thought maybe it's something like RAID 1, which a child with half a brain can do, but syncing 2 servers together seems to be a bit difficult, not clear cut as "creating" a RAID 1 array.
What about NAS drives? Can I have redundant NAS drives as well too? Just thinking in terms of high availability, and looking for some education in this case.
So my background is this: I know how to build computers. I know basic networking. I.E. Switch is different than a router. And though I don't know 100% of what a router does, I know it shares the internet. I know if I plug an internet cable into the "WAN" port, it'll share the internet. I know if I plug another router on the same network, I have to disable DHCP and assign it an IP address outside of the auto-scope and plug it into the "LAN" port.
that's basically my extensive networking knowledge. Oh yeah, mapping and sharing drives.
please help!
