Q

DFS

A

Distributed File System
Creates a server-agnostic UNC path to a store of data, which can be moved from server to server as needed.

Single, unified namespace to access shared folders hosted across one or more servers.

Q

Compression algorithm used by DFSR

A

RDC
Remote differential compression
“diff-over-the wire” client/server protocol that can be used to efficiently update files over a limited-bandwidth network. RDC detects insertions, removals, and rearrangements of data in files, enabling DFSR to replicate only the changed file blocks when files are updated.

Q

DFS namespace root

A

The top level of the DFS tree that defines the namespace for DFS. Domain-based root (jenkinslaw.org) adds fault-tolerant capabilities to DFS by allowing several servers to host the same DFS namespace root

Q

DFS is best for

A

Static data. Things that don’t change often.
Dynamic data that changes often isn’t good because sync errors.

Dynamic data that changes unidirectional would work well.

Q

standalone versus domain-based namespace

A

standalone has a server name as a unc
domain based has the domain name.

standalone is ideal if no AD exists
domain based stores namespace in AD

Domain based namespace can have multiple roots, multiple names.

FSRM's classification rules
You can require certain file types to be saved in certain areas. You can classify files based on location, name, content.
26
RMS
Right Management Service Encrypt the file and use a licensing scheme that's attached to a file. This means the encryption follows the file if it's moved. Unlike EFS and Bitlocker, whose protection is lost as soon as the file is moved. You can set up rules -- this file cannot be printed, cannot be attached, etc.
