Win2k3 R2 DFS Replication Service

-

hi there,

 

i'd advice, setting dfs replication service replicate directories dfs use, because data size large i'm wondering whether possible pre-stage content first , let replicate delta data only. because data size large , we'd minimize time takes sync. using win2k3 r2 dfs , replication services.

can advise.

 

 

many thanks

momo

hi momo,

generally speaking, backup program reliable use. prestage data, may use backup program (ntbackup utility) restore files parent dfs folders onto alternative disk location on destination server. afterwards, can create new dfs link in current dfs namespace, , add both source dfs folder , target dfs folder folder targets in link.

dfs replication prestage operation

how use backup program prestage data before dsfr synchronization in windows server 2003 r2

as know, replicaiton flow won't occures since hashes computed dfsr source , destination dfs folders' content on both servers should identical because backup/restore it.

besides, robocopy option pre-stage dfs data.

get out , push! getting out of dfsr pre-staging
