That would depend on what you would like to replicate? The whole server or just certain folders for your application such as the mysql folders, or ftp folders?

Terms you will want to search "High Availability Linux File Server".


This will get you some info allowing you to ask more specific questions (samba, nfs, etc.).

If you would only like to replicate the data, one possible solution would be to use rsync. A simple google search will easily get you some nice pieces of advice on that topic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync
