RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

I'm not sure you are going to find anything out there that is less expensive, and gives you what you are looking for, then going with DFS in 2008. I think the 3rd party products have more features, but you will pay a premium for them. We had been using Double-Take at my previous job, and switched t

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

Yeah...there were a couple different types of errors -- one was insufficient space for replication (the drive on the main server was low on drive space so it couldn't replicate...) and another problem was as you said that there were open files when it was trying to replicate. Unfortunately, those

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

Rsync or Xcopy via scheduled task if you're looking for a free MS based replacement. Just watch out for task overlap, I've seen people schedule 15 minute replication intervals for all deltas but it wasn't enough time to complete...task queue fills up, you get the idea. I've also seen some IT

Re: Best way to schedule server reboots?

My shutdown scripts stop services first, and check if they are still running before executing the shutdown. If they dont stop after so many tries, they all get restarted and I get notified. Its all batch using Sysinternals tools. Nothing is perfect in terms of automation. The rest is user behavior

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

I'm using RSYNC, but in no way is it real time. Just a few syncs a day. But it is used for DR purposes, as you mentioned. I think I would like to go the DFS route once we get going in Win 2008. -Original Message- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:te...@treasurer.state.ks.us] Sent: Wednesday

I don't know if you're eligible for the MS Certified Partner program, but you get a 5 pack of PSS incidents per year with your membership. In my experience they were always super-fast and never charged the incident if it was even a close call. If you're a consultant doing work for MS shops, th

RE: Data replication in real-time (or near real-time)

So when you noticed that the data was not there did you check your DFS logs to see if there was a problem. We are currently using Windows 2008 and the only times we have seen this behavior were listed in the logs showing the DFS errors. The other reason was also listed in the logs, depending o

Possibly. That being said, I my case most of the users are at least power users, due to the needs of software to run with enhanced permission. L John-AldrichTile-Tools From: David W. McSpadden [mailto:dav...@imcu.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 10:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subje
