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 brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
