Backup People!

This video is really intresting for me (only 20 mins in), I like what I hear about DFS, would be intresting to find out if this would work with SBS 2003 R2....?

The video quaity doesn't seem that good, I'll download and have a look... shame you couldn't get closer to the screen.

EDIT:

Could use DFS to provide remote backup....for my clients? Cool Doesn't look like you can, Enterprise SKU Sad

She should of gone into services and stopped the Windows firewall service. Wink

Good news about the PST's syncing!

Great, more like these I and on Vista Server!

OMG VISTA FTW LOLZ!!1one

Interesting video.. just thought I'd nitpick

"So it's CFS... it stands for C.F.S..." Tongue Out

More videos on the server would be cool. It's not talked about too much amidst VS2005 and SQL server etc. Either way.. Go Channel9!

Cheers,
Aditya

SBS 2003 R2 does not have DFS Replication. Just curious - what is your replication scenario with SBS that you are think of?

One clarification, you only need the Enterprise SKU on one side of a connection if you wnat cross-file RDC i.e., the ability to do RDC across files with different file names/path. So yes you can use DFS (in collection scenario) to back up remote servers (not clients tho because we are only on R2 server and of course on Vista for totally different scenarios - namely sync'ing between my PCs in a workgroup/domain).

Thanks for your f/b especially stopping the firewall service...note in Vista post the Dec CTP you will not have to do that!

C.F.S. aka Clusters, File Services and Storage. We are the team developing features in all these areas. We have several file services features such as DFS, FSRM (File server resource manager for quotas and file screening) as well as storage features such as VDS in R2.

Hey Robert, I've noticed that you ask questions then talk for ages without letting the person answer your question. You can see the frustration on the persons face lol.

Hi Shobanab,

I have a client who owns a couple of business which are not related to each other. I have installed SBS 2003 into both sites, he has asked about the possibility of replicating the data between two the sites.

I thought there was a new release of SBS due, which includes Windows Server 2003 R2. See here.

The other thought I had, is if I had a Win2k3 R2 box in our offices, the couldn't I set up each of my clients servers to use DFS to backup to our servers here, thus off site backup with a trusted supplier.

I was thinking out loud, most of my clients are in the SME market.

Thanks for posting back, it's so great having away with the people you develop the goods. Big Smile

EDIT: TYPO's

If you measure the amount of time I'm on tape and the person I'm pointing the camera is on tape, it probably is about 1/100th of the time. Sometimes I get carried away. Sorry. But this is a conversation, not a PR-release.
