rReplikator Version 5.03

Vista® ready
64-bit ready

In another scenario Hanna, Sue, Joe and Steve decide to store the data they work on locally to their workstations. This has mainly performance reasons. To ensure instant backup and versioning they use rReplikator on every machine.

rReplikator will be installed on every one of the four workstations. Joe, Sue, Hanna and Steve store their data in “My Documents”, therefore the source will have the same name on every machine.

The Server has three disks:

· System (C) for operating system and programs

· Two (D) for the workgroup data

· Three (F) for a mirror of the workgroup data

On disk Two a folder “BackUp” was created. The workstation rReplikators will store the copies to subfolder in \\Server\two\BackUp\ using their Names. Versions will go to to \\server\two\Versions.

On the server a rReplikator shuffles all changed data from the two folders D:\Backup and D:\Versions to the disk F:\, where rReplikator will create the folders BackUp and Versions.

The settings on the 5 different machines:

Computer	Source	Target	History
Joe	C:\my Documents	\\Server\Two\backUp\Joe	\\Server\Two\Versions\Joe
Hanna	C:\my Documents	\\Server\Two\backUp\Hanna	\\Server\Two\Versions\Hanna
Sue	C:\my Documents	\\Server\Two\backUp\Sue	\\Server\Two\Versions\Sue
Steve	C:\my Documents	\\Server\Two\backUp\Steve	\\Server\Two\Versions\Joe\Steve
Server	D:\BackUps	F:\BackUps	---
Server	D:\Versions	F:\Versions	----

In total N+1 licenses are necessary for N Workstations with one file server, to have all data stored on three separate disks:

	locally on the workstation
	central on the servers drive two. Versions go here as well
	mirrored to servers drive three.

For archive purposes an archiving job was scheduled to zip all changed files stored in \\Server\Backup to the temporary folder C:\Temp\DailyZip. Steve has the job to burn these zipfiles to a DVD every morning. A monthly zip of all data to C:\temp\MonthlyZip is scheduled as well for the 1^st day of every month. Steve uses several DVDs to burn these data.
