DFS Replication

DFS replication (DFS-R) can improve bandwidth bottlenecks and enable users to spend their

time more efficiently. DFS-R replicates data from a remote server to a local server on the

LAN, providing users faster access to files. DFS-R also uses remote differential compression

(RDC), which only replicates changes to a file rather than the entire file.

Note:

Replication over the network is not the same as backing up a server. Replication,

though convenient for avoiding WAN-related delays, is not a substitute for regular backups

on an external hard drive or shared volume.

In Server Manager, select File and Storage Services.

Select the server on which to enable DFS-R.

Select Tasks > Add Roles and Features.

Use the Add Roles and Features wizard to add DFS-R.

When the installation is complete, restart the system.

In Server Manager, select Tools > DFS Management.

Right-click Replication and select New Replication Group.

Use the wizard to complete adding the group.
