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.
