Replication is momentarily paused while the snapshot is being created. Once the snapshot is complete, replication resumes and the backup of data can commence. However, we offer here some guidelines which may be adopted. No other configuration actions are needed. If this is the case, it is recommended to create 2 or 3 Policies to fit your needs:. Policy 1. Dedicated to backing up some-but-not-all DFSR data.
It will by omission, exclude DFSR data. What happens to the restored data depends on what type of restore you did, authorative or non-authorative which is default. The backup operator then has to move the file s manually to the original location, using the PreExisting. The backup operator then needs to move the file s manually to the original location - without the need to look into the PreExisting.
This also has the potential of unwanted replication conflicts which land in the Conflict and Deleted folder. I don't think you want this under normal circumstances When you restore DFS-R data using the Snapshot-Tool from your storage vendor, everything depends on the way this snapshot is presented to you.
Normally there are two possibilities: 1 the restored snapshot overwrites all previously existing data on the restored volume and is then treated as a normal volume. This is where Microsoft Support comes into place and tells you that you definitely will have data loss. This is also the reason why you do not want to use VMware or HyperV-Snapshots on DFS-R Systems - it is unsupported and higly dangerous when used without thinking about the consequences of snapshot-restore of multi-master-databases.
Also the restore of a domain controller from a snapshot will destroy your AD, which is also a multi-master-database But don't think about restoring the DFS-R database itself, it will brake things Which technology used is your choice, but you have to think about the consequences of each solution - this is what I'm doing right now To answer your question about the need of the restore of a whole snapshot, i can tell you that normally this is not nescesary.
I think every storage vendor already supports virtual snapshots and the presentation of these snapshots to the end-user. Like EMC - there are some virtual LUNs used only for snapshots, when you tell the storage to show you the contents of a snapshot you don't need the place to hold the whole volume.
The snapshot itself only needs the storage capacity of the delta data created since the snapshot-creation. I cannot tell you any more details here, because I'm not the storage specialist, I got this information from our EMC consultant which configured the whole thing Another Viewpoint One additinal way to restore data is to activate VSS on every volume holding user-data with one or more snapshots created daily.
You need some storage capacity extra for this, but user-data restore is really really easy using Shadow-Copies from a volume or even a folder or single file. Seems like my problem has resolved itself. I am afraid though that a second restore will do the same.
I have created a test share on two servers and did some extensive testing on backup and restore with DFS.

Wrong place. Restore successfull right? Unfortunately not But anyway Now 5 hours later. My folder is still not replicated to the other server : Couple of things that came to mind Annulla Invia. You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer!
