    Abstract: Examples of systems described herein may allow users to change from an application level disaster recovery system (e.g., an application level replication policy) to a share level disaster recovery system (e.g., a share level replication policy). The change may be made such that a base snapshot need not again be taken when beginning operation under the share level replication policy—rather, the base snapshot previously taken during application level replication may be used in some examples. That base snapshot may be leveraged, an initial set of common share snapshots established, and protection maintained going forward on a share level basis.

    Abstract: Examples of systems described herein provide for share-level disaster recovery on, for example, virtualized file servers by enabling additional snapshots, including self-service recovery (SSR) snapshot migration in addition to replication snapshot migration to a disaster recovery location. In examples, a disaster recovery location may receive a replication of a share of a file system, the snapshot configured for recovery of the share at the disaster recovery location. The replication snapshot may include one or more additional snapshots, each taken since a time of a previous replication snapshot. At least one of the one or more additional snapshots may include an SSR snapshot, identifiable based at least on a tag associated with a process used to create the SSR snapshot at a primary location. The at least one additional snapshot may be extracted for use by another instance of the process at the disaster recovery location.

    Abstract: A file server manager disclosed herein accesses information regarding a selected share of a source distributed file server for replication, where the selected share stores at least a portion of a namespace of storage items and is hosted by a first file server virtual machine of the source distributed file server. The file server manager accesses a mapping between virtual machines of the source distributed file server and virtual machines of the destination distributed file server and replicates the selected share to a second file server virtual machine of the destination distributed file server based on the mapping. The file server manager directs a request to read a first storage item to the destination distributed file server and directs a request to write to a second storage item to the source distributed file server while the destination distributed file server services the request to read the first storage item.

    Abstract: An example file server manager provides a user interface for selection of a share of a source distributed file server to be replicated at a destination distributed file server, where the share of the source distributed file server is accessed using a first file server virtual machine at the source distributed file server. The file server manager configures a policy for replication of the share of the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server based on input received at the user interface and displays, at the user interface, a replication status for the share of the source distributed file server. The replication status indicates that a share of the destination distributed file server corresponding to the share of the source distributed file server has been updated based on a snapshot of the source distributed file server.
