Abstract
The present invention is directed toward a system and method for server back-up. A set of Primary servers and at least on secondary server is coupled to a set of networks. Each server has a host file module for assigning it a common node name and a unique node name. Each server has a high availability module for transmitting a server status over a network. The primary servers each have a set of services operating on their respective networks. The secondary server has a duplicate set of each service running on each primary server. Upon detecting a primary server status which indicates that a primary server is inoperative, the secondary server starts the duplicate set of the primary set of services corresponding to the now inoperative primary server.
