So then it's okay if I configure the target to be a file share that already exists and is in use? That won't cause any disruption to user access?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I currently have a set of users using a file share at \\ServerA (running Windows 2008 r2). I want to install DFS and configure replication so that these data are also available on \\ServerB &nbsp;(running Windows 2008 r2) in case \\ServerA becomes unavailable.. It's a key requirement that users do not lose access to the servers at any time during this process. Is that possible?<br />
<br />
If so, please let me know how to do it.
