2.2.9 Windows NT Replication Service
Windows NT provides a service to replicate files and directories from a system
to one or more other systems. The sending system is called the export server
and the receiving system is the import server. The export server is checking the
defined export directory for new, deleted or changed files in regular intervals. If
it encounters a change, the import directories of the import server will be
updated.
Windows NT server supports export and import functions. NT workstations only
support the import function. NT servers can also export and import from/to an
OS/2 LAN server. By exporting files from one file system to another (for
example from NTFS to FAT), the file names must meet both systems
requirements.
You can define one export and one import directory per server. These
directories can contain 32 subdirectories with 1024 files each at most.
2.2.9.1 Export Service
To configure the export service do the following:
1. Create a user account for the Replication service.
•
