It's weird the report show me backlogs but when I compare the folders that suppose to contain backlogs there are similar.<br />
<br />
I ran this cmd:<br />
dfsrdiag backlog /rgname:&lt;REPL_GROUP&gt; /rfname:&lt;REPL_FOLDER&gt; /smem:&lt;SRV_A&gt; /rmem:&lt;SRV_B&gt; [/v]<br />
<br />
When I check the folders like:<br />
<br />
\\server01\IT\Depart\ and compare to \\server02\IT\Depart\<br />
<br />
Check the files that show in backlog report and they are similar. So my question is what DFSR consider as a backlog if I see the same file (same security, same date and size)?
