Is it possible to have server clones or sync'd duplicate servers?
Completed
Instead of a failover server, is it possible to have a perfect duplicate server, or basically two servers that record the same thing all the time, have all the same settings except maybe the IP address, so if someone steals the entire server, you still have a perfect duplicate that keeps on working?

Hi Jeff!
I see no obstacles for this.
Just make two separate servers and set them up equally (except the IP address, ofc). As for the syncing - NX has no built-in mechanisms for this. Just as an idea - you can use API to get new settings from one Server when they change and apply it to a “duplicate”.
As an alternative you can setup a backup storage located in a different place/device to preserve existing video archive and a failover, so your cameras get instantly transferred to a running Server in case your main Server gets physically damaged/stolen. With this approach you don't need 2 physical servers and complex workarounds, while still having all your data intact.
