Dhan, in the time you took to insult me, you could have just copied a link and posted it in the mailing list. "Rusty" provided a GREAT reference link for me (Thank you Rusty). I went to the link he posted and it had everything command line I needed to do, the SSH option is the best way to do it in my case scenario.

Dhan, I would appreciate it if you refrained from responding if you have nothing of value to say, I have a business to run and I am solely seeking information to aid in running it.

Did you even try to look at the documentation available on redundant/failover hosting with MySQL replication?

Secondly, your actual problem changed. First, you wanted to clone a server. There are maaaany ways to do that. But you provided no useful information beyond indicating you wanted something like Ghost.

You also say “how do I mirror my site with Mac OS X 10.5 Server?” Well, that tells us not much, because “site” has no meaning. Web? FTP? Torrent? Pr0n Dump? AFP? Streaming Video? I mean come on, give us SOMETHING.

Even so, you got far better responses than your question deserved from people with the time and patience to play “What’s 2go2 thinking?” Including one from Dhan who mentioned a few options, like rsync, wget, tar, etc. Evidently, you didn’t see that.

So then with some prodding, you provide, (sweet glory!) some useful information. Like...that you really want high availability, online or nearline backup, and oh, MySQL is involved.

Dhan pointed out some things that would be useful, like the fact that MySQL has built in replication, and that you may want to actually read some documentation. That evidently is beneath you, so you get snippy. Yet, oddly, you expect people to hand you, for free, a rather complex bit of network design, and when they don’t, you go off on them.

“Do your own studying” applies here too, along with “ask the question you actually want answered”.
