For a hot backup my solution involves DRBD with heartbeat.
http://www.drbd.org/

http://wiki.linux-ha.org/GettingStarted_2fDRBD
and for the CVS side of it, try following the thread I started here:
"cvs as a heartbeat client"
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2004-03/msg00182.html
I have not yet gotten permission to post my cvs-heartbeat script, so you
will have to (re)create it from the same notes I got. Sorry.
