Thanks for the thought, Brian. After your suggestion, I tried to do some research on DFSR. Beyond the MSDN schematics and an article that seems to get “reprinted” on several sites, I can’t really find anything about how well this works. I realize that it is in beta right now but have you seen anything about how well it works, limitations, etc.? Thanks.

I think you should wait a month or two for R2 to come out. It has DFSR which will do this, and probably better than Replistor or the other products. Don’t both comparing FRS to DFSR … it’s totally different.

 

Thanks,

Hello:

 

I am seeking opinions on Legato’s Replistor product. Specifically, we are looking to replicate file-based data with large files over a WAN (256kbps to 1.5Mbps). The total size of the replicated data could vary from zero to tens of gigs with an individual file being as large as tens of megs. We would like to let Replistor (rather than FRS) handle the replication for DFS.

 

My understanding from Legato folks is that this does a bit-to-bit compare and only moves the modified bits. This would be very useful to us for moving large files where only a small portion of it has changed. I am contrasting this with FRS which would file-to-file compare and then replace the entire file regardless of what changed.

 

Am I correct in my understanding of the product? Are there other products that I should be considering for this task?

Have folks on the List had good or bad experience with this product?

Will this integrate with DFS the way I think it will?

 

Thanks in advance.
