Commercial tools to replicate / synchronize share points / share drives to remote sites
I have a 180GB share drive / sharepoint which users publish
(or update / write ) xps & pdf files to.
I thought of using MS 'robocopy' (2 separate jobs that will run
despite running into error conditions) to synchronize the share
drive but users prefer a commercial tool from Veritas/Netbackup.
What's the tool available to do this without mapping the remote
DR site's share at the local Prod site? Preferably a low-cost tool
that can do almost realtime 'mirroring' or 'synchronization' so
that in the event the local Prod site is suddenly down, the remote
end would have a good copy of the share.

Thanks Arnold.
Just one last clarification:
in DFS setup, the local end still need to map a drive
to the remote end's file share?

Yes, "local end" means "local clients".
Just found one article below, is BestSync real or it's just a 'hype' as this is the first
time I've heard a tool that can do realtime synchronizing of MS SQL database:
http://www.risefly.com/fseqna.htm
Questn:
Can BestSync synchronize the opened or locked files, such as data base file?
Ans:
Yes, BestSync supports "Volume Shadow Copy Service" of Windows XP/Windows 2003
/Windows 2008/Windows VISTA/Windows 7, even opened files or locked files such as
SQL data base file, OS registry file, Outlook PST files can be synchronized/backed up correctly. Other software may fail if the files are using. You need not worry this if
you are using BestSync.

Looks like in DFS setup, the local end still need to map a drive
to the remote end's file share? Am I right about this?
Btw, does DFS comes free of charge with Windows OS (2008) ?
