IMPORTANT

When you create a new replication group, replication does not begin immediately. The topology and DFS Replication settings must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain these settings. The amount of time this takes depends on Active Directory replication latency and each member's long polling interval (60 minutes).

To create a replication group to replicate the Projects and Proposals folders from a branch server to a hub server:

1.In Windows Explorer or from the command prompt, create a folder named Projects and a folder named Proposals on a server that will act as the branch server. The folders should be separate folders (that is, not nested in one another).

2.Add some data to the Projects and Proposals folders on the branch server.

3.In Windows Explorer or from the command prompt, create a folder named Branch_Backups on a server that will act as the hub server. Do not put data in this folder.

4.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Replication node, and then click New Replication Group.

5.Follow the steps in the New Replication Group Wizard and supply the information in following fields.

oReplication Group Type - Select Replication group for data collection.

oName and Domain - In Name of replication group, type Branch Backups.

oBranch Server - Type the name of a server that will act as the branch server.

oReplicated Folders - Click Add. In the Add Folder to Replicate dialog box, type the local path of the Projects folder you created in Step 1. Repeat this step for the local path of the Proposals folder.

oHub Server - Type the name of a server that will act as the hub server. This is the server where you can back up the Projects and Proposals folders using backup software.

oTarget Folder on Hub Server - In Target folder, type the path of the folder you created in Step 3.

oReplication Group Schedule and Bandwidth - Select Replicate continuously using the specified bandwidth.

oReview Settings and Create Replication Group - Click Create to create the replication group.

oConfirmation - Click Close to close the wizard.
