Hi

I am running a failover server, one primary and one secondary.
Both has their own bdb and at any point of time data on the
both the servers should be consistent.

Suppose, if one server is down for a long time, can I copy the
data files from one server to another.
What I meant to ask is, how to port the data between
the 2 servers; which files need to be copied; or is db_dump
and db_load going to do any help?
