I can tell you one *not* to use. Microsoft DFS. We recently had one of our raid array's lose it's format...Drives were all fine, Windows just couldn't set the format anymore. Considering that we were mirroring to our colo facility via DFS, this should have been a non-issue. Unfortunately, DFS decided that since it couldn't see a drive here, it should just go ahead and erase all the files over there.
That cost us a days worth of work. On Mar 15, 2010, at 12:49 PM, Ian Skinner wrote: > > On 3/15/2010 10:33 AM, Justin Scott wrote: >> What sort of systems and how are they connected?
