The background of this solution was explained in:
Message-Id: <200708221143.47492.thomas.flaig at unibw.de> [1]
I know that a better solution would be:
* not to purchase blackboxes, which are also known as NAS, 
* and to have only fast and up-to-date servers as stanby systems.

But on the other hand there are also other places with such 
configurations.
