A workgroup using a fileserver

If all files of all users are stored on a central server, rReplikator will be installed on that server as well. Depending on the folder structure chosen for the server one or several rReplikators are defined to replicate the user data. The target and history files may be stored to another disk in the server or to another server.

Hanna, Sue, Joe and Steve are working together in a group. To be able to share the files they work all files are stored central on the file server .

The have have to decided their data theme centered with a folder for every theme:

	proposals
	contracts
	customer projects
	reporting

Each of this folders is organized by customer and process. A proposals for the customer “Hybrid transportation Inc” about a new CAD-System made in June 2004 will be stored in	\\server\data\proposals\HybTransInc\2004-06CADSystem.
When Hybrid Inc decides to buy the system, a project folder will be set up for that project:	\\server\data\customer projects\HybTransInc\2004-06CADSystem.
The contract for the proposal will be found under	\\server\data\contracts\HybTransInc\2004-06CADSystem.
The reporting files with financial data etc. will be stored in	\\server\data\reporting\HybTransInc\2004-06CADSystem.

On every workstation a logical drive “Z:” is mapped to \\server\data to make data access more convenient. Everyone in this workgroup has full access right to all the data.

To ensure automatic backup of the data, rReplikator is installed on the server . The server has three hard drives: One for operating system and programs, one for the data and one for the real-time backup of data.

rReplikator is set as follows:

Computer	Source	Target	History
Server	D:\Data	F:\BackUps	F:\Versions

A scheduled copy job is set up as well to copy all the changed data to another server in the company every Sunday morning 6.00 am. This other server is maintained by the IT-staff who do backup on tapes for disaster recovery.

Data are stored on two computers and three drives (well, and archived by the IT-chaps):

	Data on \\server\data
	Data on \\server\backUp\Data and Versions on \\server\BackUp\Versions
	Data on a third server in the IT-department

The four decided as well that only Hanna will be allowed to restore data from F:\Versions. Everyone who needs a former version of a file has to ask her. This is to ensure that no one will try to restore data that are worked on by a third person. Hanna would know because she’s the “bottleneck”.
