File and Folder Replication

Hi,

Just wondering what progs any of you quys use to replicate folders, sub
folders and files within from webserver to webserver.

Thanks.

Re: File and Folder Replication

Few options.

1) Dfs (Distributed File System) as part of Windows Server 2003 R2.

2) Robocopy and a batch file
http://winhlp.com/?q=node/58 is one example Google for others.

3) Application Center
This is a product my MS, not sure if it's still available.

Re: File and Folder Replication

My preference is DFS. Robocopy is a poor mans DFS. Put it in a batch file,
define the folders, schedule a task and go. It works well.
