Have you looked into <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/dfs-replication/dfsr-overview" rel="ugc">DFS</a>? &nbsp;It works well, comes with Windows Server, runs in real time, and is completely transparent.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy" rel="ugc">Robocopy</a> may also fit your needs. &nbsp;It comes with Windows (or is available via download) and will do what you need, but will require a little work to get it doing what you want.<br />
<br />
Lastly, a COTS product like <a href="https://www.tgrmn.com/" rel="ugc">ViceVersa</a> sits somewhere between DFS and Robocopy. &nbsp;It's not free, but I use it for replicating files to a DR site and it works pretty well for me.

I agree with Roy and Paul. DFS might be a way to go. Maybe you have some questions about it so I suggest you check to Frequently Asked Questions. &nbsp;<br />

Maybe you could use hardlinkbackup <a href="https://www.lupinho.net/en/hardlinkbackup/" rel="ugc">https://www.lupinho.net/en/hardlinkbackup/</a>

Hi <br />
<br />
Do i need to install the DFS on the Windows 2012 File server , where the &quot;STU&quot; share is located on E Drive- on the server ?<br />
<br />
Or can i set up a DFS role of a another Windows 2012 member server and setup the backup?<br />
<br />
Thanks
</div>


<div>
Typically DFS set up on the servers participating in the sync, but I imagine you could use a third server with mapped drives to do the same thing. &nbsp;I've never tested that, so wouldn't trust it until I had beat it up a little.

Hi <br />
<br />
We have a windows 2012 file server and i have created a share called &quot;STU&quot;<br />
<br />
Within this share “STU”, I have created home directories -HomeU1, HomeU2, HomeU3…. HomeU4.....HomeU10 for User1, User2....User10.<br />
<br />
When User1, User2, User3… User10 &nbsp;...logs into a Win10 workstation, their respective home directories will be mapped and they will be working on a word document and saving to their home directories.<br />
<br />
I would like to do minute-by-minute backup of the STU share to another folder in the file server and it will be only few megabytes per minute.<br />
<br />
Is there any free software that can do this type of backup?<br />
<br />
Any help will be great <br />
Thanks

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
