They are user files I am interested in saving a 'mirror' of a set of user files on 2 DCs... My understanding was DFS replicated the DFS roots and FRS replicated files in the SYSVOL folder.

Hi, A general question about possible inter-site file replication/synchronizatio<wbr />n options.<br />
I intend to setup a 2003 DC at a branch office connected by WAN. I will place the remote DC in an AD site. For backup/redundancy and security I am seeking options to synchronize files directories on the remote server to a central server. I don’t believe FRS will do this.<br />
My question is do I have any server based or otherwise any options here?<br />

Tools for inter site file synchronization between remote DCs?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
