I concur... especially considering the restore time in the event that replication screws up and critical information is pushed off to a Staging area, inaccessible to the user.

However, even Microsoft admits that FRS is....well, broken. It gets better with each QFE, Service Pack and HotFix, but the basics are just flat broken. I'm not sure that I'd recommend it for anything remotely critical. But, to each his own.

I work with some folks that sync 240+GB between 12 servers using T-1 as well.. There are some tuning factors that should be followed: What is DFS topology? Make sure you using dfs & frs tuning docs. Setup Ultrasound to monitor... Let me know if you need more details. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 7:06 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] DFS use question We have one of our largest sites in England and another large site in the US, with at least a full T-1 between the two sites. We have a share with about 70GB of data in it, that both sites regularly need to access. Would this be something we could use DFS for with automatic replication, or is this way out of DFS's range? And if it's out of the range of DFS, how are others solving this issue? A program like Veritas Storage Replicator, or NSI DoubleTake? Or will DFS suffice? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of the Cooper Cameron Corporation and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
