NAS Network Attached Storage is the most versatile option because data transfer is through the network, however, DAS NAS Direct-attached storage is the most practical option since it would be enough to connect computers through a cable with a high data transfer capacity, therefore, you will not need a large bandwidth or configure a network.
A common method of sharing information between Windows Servers is through the network. This feature allows you to share access to a folder with multiple users who are connected to the same network.
This method is extremely practical but you must remember that this technique does not generate copies on your local disk and therefore, the reading and writing of the files depend on you having a stable connection, also, if the computer that stores the original version of the shared folder is turned off or damaged, no user will be able to access the information of the shared folder. Go to the location where the folder you want to share is located and right-click on it.
A menu will appear, and you must move your cursor over the "Give access to" option and click on "Homegroup View and edit ". In this window, you can add different computers that are connected to the Network and give them permission to add and edit information in this folder.
There is a tool available in Windows Server with which to carry out the synchronization process between servers, this tool is named "DFS Replication" and next I will show you how to configure it.
Before continuing, keep in mind that you must have previously configured the network permissions, also, if you want to use the "Hub and spoke" topology, you must have at least three computers connected to the replication group. The "Add Roles and Features Wizard" tool will allow you to choose the preferences of the installation. Choose "Role-based or feature-based installation" as the type of installation and make sure that the destination server that appears in the third window corresponds to the computer you are using.
Click "Next" until you reach the last step of the installation. Once there, a summary of the installation will be displayed. Note: Keep in mind that you must carry out this installation process on all the computers you want to synchronize. Once opened, select the "Multipurpose replication group" option and click on "Next. In this step you can assign a name to the replication group, you can also add a description that helps you manage one or more replication groups.
In this step, you should carefully consider which option best suits your needs. If you want all the information that is replicated to come from a single hub member, you must choose "Hub and Spoke", on the other hand, if you want the information to be replicated mutually between all the computers that are connected to the replication group, you must choose "Full mesh".
Here you can set the frequency of data replication, also, you can adjust the Bandwidth rates and thus optimize the use of the resources you have. In this step, you will have to assign one or more primary members depending on the replication group topology.
The primary member will serve as a reference to manage differences during replication processes. In one-way file synchronization, the data files are updated from one single source to multiple target locations and platforms. But no data is stored back to the source. And in a two-way file syncing, various locations and platforms work together where two-way communication is established between every pair within the system.
Most people confuse file syncing and backup, but both are entirely different processes. One of them cannot replace another, and in most cases, you would need to rely on both of them. In file syncing, the same data is updated across multiple locations and platforms.
It lets a team work on a project without the need to be in a single place. Then the systems connected in a network continuously check for file updates and download the files whenever an updated version is available. On the other hand, backup is primarily a way for businesses to protect the data by copying the information from one location to another.
For instance, you would duplicate the content on a laptop onto an external drive. The backed-up data is not accessed by anyone for any collaboration work but stays at one location so that it can be used to restore the system in case of any crash. Backup is only for protecting the data assets to ensure business continuity without any major hassles.
File syncing is indeed a blessing for handling work on multiple devices at the same time. People can have full flexibility with file syncing to work collaboratively without relying on the inconvenient back and forth emailing.
