Hi there,

what it the recommended way to mirror or synchronize cvs repositories ?

I would describe mirroring as:
	server A does READ/WRITE access, while server B only has READ access.

- This sould be possible with CVSNTUp or simply copy the whole 
repository ? (while CVSNTUp seems to be more efficient ;-)
- Has anyone used CVSNTUpd ? Any problems ?
- It there a better method in CVSNT ? (so not to use CVSNTUpd) ?
- Does it matter if A is "normal" cvs on unix and B is cvs-nt on nt ? 
(or vice versa ?)

I would describe synchronize as:
	 BOTH server A and B are doing READ/WRITE  .

- Is this possible with cvs ?
(I can imagine all kinds of problems with time synchronization, 
conflicting changes etc.). I think cvs is NOT designed for distribued 
repositories with READ/WRITE access, right ?
So only one master with READ/WRITE and N mirror with READ, right ?


thanks for you help,
kind regards,
Bernhard.
