That seems reasonable.

The primary reference material for for CVSup is the home page:
http://www.cvsup.org
and the Frequently Asked Questions page:
http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html
This handbook is also good:
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html
The www.onlamp.com folks also have some good information:
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/08/16/Big_Scary_Daemons.html
However, in general, you want to follow these basic steps:
1) Get and install CVSup (both the client and the server). You may
either do this from source by getting a modula3 compiler and building
it and then building the CVSupd sources or by installing pre-built
binaries:
a) URLs for the sources are:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/ezm3/ezm3-1.1-src.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/ezm3/ezm3-1.1-src.tar.bz2.asc
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/ezm3/ezm3-1.2-LINUXLIBC6-boot.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/ezm3/ezm3-1.2-LINUXLIBC6-boot.tar.bz2.asc
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/sources/cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/CVSup/sources/cvsup-snap-16.1h.tar.gz.asc
b) The URLs for the FC3 RPMs for cvsup are:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/3/i386/cvsup-16.1-6.h.i386.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/3/SRPMS/cvsup-16.1-6.h.src.rpm
For myself, I prefer to have the sources to build everything in case
some problem develops that I need to fix or if I need to port to a
new platform for which I do not have the pre-built runtime. Your
mileage may vary.
2) Getting the CVSupd server running on your cvs repository machine for
the repositor(y/ies) you desire to mirror.
3) Get the CVSup client running on your backup cvs repository machine.
4) Get a schedule of running the CVSup and when it has finished doing
your backup.
This document:
http://motoyuki.bsdclub.org/BSD/cvsup.html
should help you in setting up your CVSup mirror.
Good luck,
-- Mark
