Mirroring same Data on 2 different servers?

[colinmitton]

I have a Data folder on one server in site A, currently Site B link to site A to get there data from there.

Just recently I have put a server in to Site B and was looking at having the servers on site A and B replicating / mirroring the data so the people on each site accesses there own copy.

Does anyone know of any good packages that deal with data replication? I would like them to make sure changes are moved around very quickly but want to add some resilence to the system so if one server breaks down the data is still available on to each site.

Both servers are W2k3 servers and may have the possibility of using 2 IOMega NAS instead of servers in the future.

Hope this makes sense!]

Look into DFS - it's built in, and should do the job.

Thanks I'll loo in to DFS, though few of my friends did not talk very nicely about it! Has anyone else used it much and any tips / tricks with it.

Then your friends didn't configure it correctly. It's even better in R2.

Any tips for when I configure it, I've never used it personally?
