11.0 Setting Up Mirrored Folders

A mirrored folder is a library folder within Novell Teaming that is synchronized with a folder located on a system drive outside of Teaming. When you perform basic actions (adding subfolders and files, modifying files, deleting folders and files) by using the Teaming interface or by accessing the file on the drive, the change is reflected in the other interface. The advantage to using mirrored files is that you can apply Teaming tools to files on a drive, including tools such as text search, workflow, and discussion (in the form of comments applied to the entry in the library folder).

Initial setup of mirrored folder resource drivers is done during NovellĀ® Teaming installation, as described in Configuring Mirrored Folder Resource Drivers in Advanced Installation and Reconfiguration in the Novell Teaming 2.1 Installation Guide.

The Teaming Installation program enables you to set up as many as three mirrored folder resource drivers. If you need more than three, you must manually edit the installer.xml file, then update your Teaming installation. After you set up the mirrored folder resource drivers by using the Installation program, you must perform additional mirrored folder configuration on the Teaming site.
