Hi,
We are using DFS to replicate between 10 different servers and one of them is getting crazy high backlogs (500,000+ backlogged). I have googled the issue and not found any solutions that would pertain to our issue. Hoping someone can help. Please see description below.
10 servers all in the same datacenter on the same network. Only one of them is getting backlogged to the point it does nothing but play catch up. The servers are virtual servers. Most of them are on separate VM hosts. However a couple share the same host including the one in question. However, when I check performance on the VM host it seems to be just fine. Plus of the two on this VM host only one is getting backlogged. I have done the calculations to set the Staging folder's Quota to a hair above what the calculations recommend (I did this on all 10 servers to stay consistent). I have also edited the registry with the high performance settings as suggested by many sites online (I also did this on all 10 servers to remain consistent). However, the server still remains backlogged. The only warnings in event viewer are Event ID 4202, 4204 and 4412. Which from what I have gathered is the server trying to catch up the backlogs. We do perform nightly backups. At which time DFS does stop while the backup takes place. But if this was the issue I would think the other servers would also become backlogged.
Does anyone have any ideas for a possible solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
