Directory replication under NT4 Server

[Gavjp 0]

Hi All.

 

I want to replicate the entire directory structure of my PDC to my BDC (for fail-over purposes) using the directory replication feature.

If possible, I want it to replicate a few times a day.

I dont use login scripts.

Is there a way to do this?

I have gone through a bunch of confusing documentation about replication and cant seem to figure it out.

The PDC has multiple drives in a RAID 5 configuration with about 2.5 million files amounting to about 55GB.

Can it only replicate scripts, since it seems to only point to the script directory?

I have made one or two attempts but nothing happens.

I have tried to just specify the drive letter I want to export in the "From Path" box and set the sub-directories under "Manage" but no go. I have created a space on the BDC and specified it in the "Import" section in its replication app, with no joy.

Am I dreaming?

Is there a third party app of some sort?

Any help or comments will be much appreciated.

 

Thanx

 

P.S.

 

Is it just me or is the whole replication thing confusing??
