Avoid Editing Conflicts and Gain Useful Insights with a DFS-R Replacement
Patch Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) weak spots by leveraging a Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution to supplement your existing DFS.
While Distributed File System Replication (DFS or DFS-R) might be appropriate for basic needs, a high-volume environment can expose problems with the solution.
SureSync and SureSync MFT are more than capable to replace the replication/synchronization portion of DFS while adding additional value with several significant features that make an IT department’s job easier.

Here’s Where DFS-R Falls Short
DFS-R is fine for basic needs. But a high-volume environment imposes limitations, putting a cap on what you can do with your files, and how quickly and securely you can do it. Without a DFS-R replacement, the result is lost productivity and limited scale.
Simultaneous Editing Creates Chaos
Multiple users can create multiple updates on different servers before copies can be synchronized.
File Updates That Are Lost
File conflicts are resolved by replicating the newest file and losing changes made by other users.
Hard to See What’s Going On
Limited reporting options and not much feedback on replication progress.
Can’t Synchronize All Files
Files stored on FAT or ReFS volumes cannot be synchronized at all.
Only One Way to Replicate
Data replication is through one multi-way algorithm which can’t be changed.
Not Very Secure
Files encrypted with the Encrypted File System (EFS) cannot be synchronized.
