Re: File Replication
DFS might come in handy here
A good tutorial and more background information can be found here:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows2003-Distributed-File-System.html
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/storage/dfs/default.mspx
Please note that this should NOT be considered as an alternative to backups.
If files get deleted on one copy, the replication will delete it on all
other DFS links as well. But it can be handy to minimize downtime, and
enhance reliability and availibility.
If you want another solution, scripted replication is also possible. I can
advise robocopy for this if you want to play around with it yourself.
