For my disaster recovery plan I am looking for a free/open source file replication program which could copy all files including open/busy files to a remote server. Would appreciate any suggestions or help.

3"I would like to have some food. Any suggestions?" .. please be more specific. How much data are we talking about? Should this be a constant replication or done couple times a day? You have already mentioned one possible piece of software in tags (`rsync`) but we need to know more about your needs. – Janne Pikkarainen Jun 28 '12 at 13:15

For all the static and slow changing content closed files etc something like rsync will do. The open and busy files would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis as for example how you deal with a database is entirely different from how you deal with a plain busy file.

Alternatively you can use http://www.logicwreck.com/index.php/2012/06/16/ftp-synchronization-script/, this is a simple script which will synchronize any files or directories created/updated/deleted in a directory on your server with a ftp server.

Use https://github.com/logicwreck/solutions/tree/ftp_synchronize for now - we're doing some changes. – Logic Wreck Jan 22 '13 at 19:00
