How to DR to an alternate server

Use the DrTool to have FileFly replicate to an alternate server.

1. Create a new Policy, and select for the Operation to Create DrTool File From Source.

5. Download the generated text file.

6. Open the DrTool on the server where the stubs are migrated.

10. When prompted, select whether to update the path information on Swarm also.
