Server-to-Server Synchronization
Server-to-Server Synchronization (S2S) is a SnapExtension that copies the contents
of a share from one Snap Server to another share on one or more different Snap
Servers. Any Snap Server server can be used as either a source or a destination for
replicated content. Once you set up a synchronization task, the source server sends
messages advising all destination servers to begin synchronizing data. The files on
the source server are compared with the same files on the destination server. Files
that have been modified are replicated to the destination server, overwriting the
previous copy.
S2S works with all Snap Server models. The S2S software is preinstalled on all
GuardianOS Snap Servers. (The S2S software is available for download from the
Snap Appliance Web site for SnapOS Snap Servers.) To access the S2S configuration
screens, connect to the browser-based Administration Tool and click the
SnapExtensions
button. Detailed configuration procedures for S2S are available in
the online help.
PowerQuest DataKeeper
PowerQuest DataKeeper allows you to configure user workstations or laptops to
automatically back up data to a Snap Server. Users do not need to remember to
copy important data to the server for regular backup; Datakeeper does it for them in
the background. DataKeeper can be configured to back up user data each time their
PC starts, and to continuously monitor all data and system files that are changed
during the session. The DataKeeper software is included with every Snap Server.
For more information in installing and configuring DataKeeper, see the DataKeeper
Quick Start Guide provided with your Snap Server.
