Restoring a DFS
Restore DFSR through the WINDOWS ROLES AND FEATURES save set.
-
Restore the DFS topology information:
-
To restore a domain-based system, restore the WINDOWS ROLES AND FEATURES save sets on the domain controller.
-
-
On the DFS host server:
-
Restore the DFS root.
NOTE:You cannot restore individual DFS links. If the DFS root has lost a link, restore the entire DFS root in which that link resided.
- If required, restore any local DFS destination directories.
-
Restore the DFS root.
- If required, restore the remote DFS destination directories.
