I'm looking for a way or a software that will create a mirror of my server in real time. I have two identical server. I would also like the same thing for a workstation. I have two identical workstations and i would like to have them mirrored for redundancy purpose. I would like that in real time if possible.

Thank you

Yes clustering is not for standard ed. It has to do with the number of cpu's supported, I think.

Anyway, real time mirror?

Closest you will get with "what's in the box" is DFS. If I remember correctly you can set how often it replicates.

If that doesn't help then just a simple vbs to run robocopy with the /mon (monitor changes) and /mot (monitor time) switches.

Caching of shared drives is another "out the box" solution.

I more formal aproach? Google may be your friend.

I also was looking for a similar solution.

Although mine was not necessary to be in real time.

I used robocopy as a "free" and "low tech" way to replicate data (with the mirror command) to another file server.

it works.

replicates only changed data (after the first replication)

you can output log files to track your failures

i wrote mine to a batch file, schedule it using windows scheduled tasks program.

I mean i'm sure there are much better ways with more administration control etc...

but hey its free, it works for now....buys you time so you can budget for something better.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.
