CTE with DFS(R)

The Microsoft Distributed File System Replication (DFS(R)) service is a multi-master replication engine used to keep folders synchronized on multiple servers. Using CTE with DFS(R) requires a unique configuration to make sure that all folders within a GuardPoint are only encrypted once, and that all sources to which those folders are replicated can access the proper encryption key to read the encrypted data.

This section contains the following topics:

• Overview

• Terms and Topology

• Configure DFS(R)

• CTE Configuration Workflow

• Creating Required DFS(R) Policy Components

• Using the Standard/Offline Encryption Method

• Using the LDT Encryption Method

• Troubleshooting

For more information about DFS(R), see the Microsoft DFS(R) documentation at Distributed File System Replication.
