Scenario:

I have 2 W2K Servers both PIV 1.8Ghz 512MB RAM PC333 40GB-HDD. PDC & BDC (just for labelling sake). PDC acts as a gateway for my internet & my file server. BDC acts as my workstation.

Questions:

1. What solution would fit if I wish to separate my PDC Files?
2. Is there a software that I can use, if I want to replicate my PDC files to BDC.
3. I've heard of NAS, just want to make sure if there is a 40GB/80GB only?

Can somebody help me as the requirements for me is very urgent...

Thanks in advance

The Windows 2000 solution (provided with the operating system) is File Replication Service (FRS).
Please read the following: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/samplechapters/dsdh/dsdh_frs_ncpi.asp (remove any spaces in URL)

Also, I would do a Google search for "File replication 20000" and read some of the articles that appear.

Extra: for fault tolerance, the best way to set it up is also use DFS in Windows 2000 so that if 1 server is down, the users will automatically be redirected to the other server.
