Protecting a File Server
Connection settings
The Connection tab includes options that will be applied to the specified source/target connection.
Route
This setting identifies the
Target IP Address
that the Storage Mirroring data will be transmitted through. You
should only change this setting if you want to select a different route for Storage Mirroring traffic. On a
machine with more than one NIC, this increases the flexibility of configuring Storage Mirroring activity. For
example, you can separate regular network traffic and Storage Mirroring traffic on a machine. The default
ports will be used.
File shares
By default, all non-administrative file shares are selected. You can add other data that you want to protect by
selecting the checkbox next to it in the tree view.
NOTE:
On a domain controller, you cannot protect the NETLOGON and SYSVOL shares, and they will not
be visible in the File Shares tree.
You can also select non-application specific data under the Volumes folder.
NOTE:
If
Override Generated Rules
is selected on the
Advanced
tab, this control will be disabled.
To refresh the tree view to show new source directories or files that may have been added or removed, select
the logical node, then click the
Refresh
button. If a node in the volumes branch is selected, then the items under
that node will be refreshed.
Mirror type
The following options specify what files you want sent from the source to the target during a mirror:
•
Full
—Copies all of the directories and files in the replication set to the target machine. If a mirror has
already been completed, another full mirror will overwrite the data on the target.
