WS2022 - Adding Roles & Features (File & Storage Replication)

[Guest /u/jzllc]

I currently have a single server that ALL of our data is stored and accessed. This server is Server5 running Windows Server 2012 R2. I have introduced a new Server into our Domain, Server6, which is running Windows Server 2022. I would like to have files accessible from both (mirrored, as a back up), but don't know if I need only particular Roles and Features or if I should select ALL of these Roles and Features (within File and Storage Services (2 of 12 installed)).

 

Currently, Server5 and Server6 have the same Options selected.

 

Here are my selection options:

 

File Server (Installed)

 

BranchCache for Network Files

 

Data Deduplication

 

DFS Namespaces

 

DFS Replication

 

File Server Resource Manager

 

File Server VSS Agent Service

 

iSCSI Target Server

 

iSCSI Target Storage Provider (VDS and...)

 

Server for NFS

 

Work Folders

 

Like I said, I am trying to mirror these two Servers when it comes to storage, so if one goes down, we can still keep the lights on. I'm trying to do this with as little work as possible so that there are no interruptions of service.
