DFS-R for Web Server Replication-Week 27

You can find this week’s video here.

This week’s video lesson covers the end to end process of installing DFS, adding shared folders, troubleshooting, and watching it in action.

Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) is a powerful means of keeping the content on multiple servers in sync with each other. There are other options, like Robocopy and various 3rd party tools, but DFS-R is a native Windows App which works beautifully for most replication situations. It’s near immediate, easy to setup, easy to manage, and requires no maintenance.

This week’s video lesson covers the end to end process of installing DFS, adding shared folders, troubleshooting, and watching it in action.

Last week started a mini-series on web farms, so this week lays the foundation for Shared Configuration and other web server content replication discussions.

This is week 27 of a 52 week series for the Web Pro. Past and future videos can be found here: http://dotnetslackers.com/projects/LearnIIS7/
