Hello,
created a namespace, added a folder, configured full mesh replication between 4 members, everything seemed to work fine (data started replicating to all other members when added to any of them, etc.). Left them for initial replication over our slow link.
Tonight Windows backup process ran and backed up all the data. DFS process stopped while the backup was running (that's what event viewer shows). After it started again, all the data that wasn't already replicated to other member servers is missing from the "primary" one...
Now whenever i restore that missing data to the original folder, dfs starts syncing and removes it again.. The only way to restart the whole thing is to disable replication to all folders, wipe them, wait for such changes to apply, etc.
The server i'm adding data to is Server 2008 R2, other DFS members are Server 2012 R2.
Why is this happening and how do i fix it?...
Thanks!
