Windows DFS backup question.

A customer has 4 servers for this windows DFS that uses the same UNC path. The issue is that currently these 4 servers are out of sync.

 

Based on the local configuration/physical location, end users access the namespace via different access nodes/servers. For example, user A has a profile saved on server A, it didn't get synced to server B,C,D; next time user creates a new profile on server B, he would lost everything saved on server A.

The customer is seeking solution to consolidate data from 4 servers then migrate a master copy to new servers.

I tried to set up network share subclient and backup was successful. When I looked at the backup log it appears that Commvault only use one access node to perform the backup. I know it is more like a sync issue which most likely needs to be resolved before backup but can you please advise if anything can be offered from Commvault? 

Kind regards,

Boyi

Good afternoon.  I would guess that the issue is most likely related to the DFS being out of sync but can not say for sure.  I would recommend opening up a support case for this.  Please update this thread with the progress.
