DFSR : Re-replication configuration
asked on
Hi Team,
A DFSR scenario suggestion needed.
There was a Replication Group that mapped \\server1\sydney and \\server2\sydney. Someone deleted this Replication Group sometime back and now server2 has old data. I performed following steps to fix it:
1. Renamed DFSPrivate in server2 to DFSPrivate.old
2. I ran below ROBOCOPY in server1 to copy incremental difference from server1 to server2:
robocopy "D:\Data\sydney" "\\server2\sydney" /XO /V /TS /FP /TEE /E /ZB /L /R:1 /W:1 /MT:64 /xd DfsrPrivate /COPYALL /tee /LOG+:C:\logs\sydney.log
3. Recreated replication group.
Now, when I run below command to compare backlog, it keeps returning huge numbers, unexpected to my understanding.
dfsrdiag backlog /RMem:server1 /SMem:server2 /RGName:"Sydney" /RFName:Sydney
Am I doing it wrong? What's the right way to deal with this situation?
Thanks, much appreciated.
