Re: DFS Question

No, DFS-R doesn't need much bandwidth. it uses a compression algorithm where only the changed bits of the files will be transferred (instead of transferring the whole file all over again). :)

DFS-R (R for replication), to be exact, if you want all shares in all 6 servers to have the same data.

if you want all clients to be using the same PATH to access the folder, then use DFS-N (N for namespace).

Does DFS-R require much bandwidth? This is to be implemented using 512Kb WAN links but only 2 or 3 files are changed per day.
