A central server backs up other servers

In this scenario the IT people installed a central server replicating the data housed on de-central department servers..

rReplikator „server“ has been installed on the central server. The server drives are

	System (C:) for operating system and applications
	Data (D:) The RAID-Array for data backup and versioning

The central server has a system drive and a built RAID-array with a lot of disk space. For every server a directory “BackUp-XX” and a directory “Versi-XX” has been created, where “XX” stands for the department. rReplikator delay has been set to 120 seconds to avoid conflicting file accesst. Department servers store data in a directory “Data”

For every department a rReplikator has been defined:

rReplikator Name	source	target	History
Dep-A1	\\Server-A1\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-A1	\\Two\Versi-A1
Dep-HQ	\\Server-HQ\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-HQ	\\Two\Versi-HQ
Dep-QA	\\Server-QA\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-QA	\\Two\Versi-QA
Dep-E1	\\Server-E1\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-E1	\\Two\Versi-E1
Dep-P1	\\Server-P1\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-P1	\\Two\Versi-P1
Dep-P2	\\Server-P2\Two\Data	\\Two\Backup-AP2	\\Two\Versi-P2

Data are stored in two locations:

	On every department server
	On the central server

For data archiving for every rReplikator a zip-job has been created to zip every night all new and changed data to “D:\Archive-XX”. A copy job has been defined to copy every night all new and changed data to a 2^nd server as backup.
