The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Using DFS for system resilience

Asked by ccfcfc in Windows 2003 Server

Tags: dfs, 2003, backup, using

Have 2 servers used purely for storage of business data (server a) and the second server (server b) to be used purely to back as a backup of the data. This server (server b) is then to be backed up at a certain time to a tape device.
Both servers will be running 2003 server and on the same LAN.

So will Windows DFS provide this functionality ? I guess from looking at functionality DFS is used mainly (in conjunction with FRS) to distribute resources and data over a number of servers and provide resilience. The ability to separate one server to contain all the data and available to backup is the fuctionality required.

I guess there must be a software solution to this. The obvious solution is using goof old XCOPY but this fails with files not using the 8.3 format.

Appreciate any advice
