We have two different solutions in semi production to see wich one pans out 
best.

1, Snap shot the fs, dump, copy restore

2, Snap shot the fs, mount the snapshot and rsynch it to the standby.

A lot easier then messing with IMAP things, but the lag is as large as the 
synch time between hosts.

but for a normal server, with some 3-400 GB storage, we can dump and copy and 
restore fairly quickly.
