Keeping a Backup database in sync with the primary

I have two Linux servers running with one as a hot standby should the
primary fail. It is not critical that they be in sync with every
transaction, but I would like to sync them up with a cron job in the
middle of the night.

Dose anyone have a suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks,
