Hi, I am looking at setting up DFS replication to a branch office and I was wandering if you use this as a backup or if a user in the branch office makes a change on a file does this then get replicated back to the main office? &nbsp;If so does it lock the files so they cannot be edited at the same time?<br />
<br />
Thanks
