File Server protection requirements

In addition to the general application requirements, you must also meet the following requirements to protect a file server.

You can use a one-to-one configuration for file server protection. You cannot use a one-to-many, many-to-one, or chained configuration.
The target must be a dedicated, stand-by server which does not host any critical applications.
During failback, the Server service is restarted, which may also restart any dependent services.
File server protection is currently only supported in a flat domain structure.
Microsoft Server Core is supported for file server protection.
