    Hi,

    We are moving to a dual windows server solution for redundancy and we want the web files to be automatically synced between the 2 servers. What robust and good quality s\w would you recommend for this?

    Thanks

    You could use the inbuilt clustering facility in 2008 R2 to do this although you would need a centralized storage facility (some type of SAN). If that isn't suitable, have a look at -http://www.xlink.com/REPLICA/ent/clusterdescription_ent.aspx (don't worry, XLink is NOT a porn site!).

    We use this for replicating a couple of SQL Servers in real-time with automatic failover and it is an excellent piece of software. Stable, does what it says, and has helped us out a few times and has been flawless in operation. It also syncs IIS so might be perfect for what you want. Doesn't cost the earth either compared to many competitors products.
