DFS Administration

Administration of DFS is a significant task because several processes that implement DFS need to be set up and maintained. However, administrative tools are provided to aid in this task. DFS configuration is varied and flexible, so a DFS administrator has the additional task of designing and evolving a configuration of DFS servers and clients that best suits the needs of the system's users. DFS day-to-day administration includes fileset administration such as making filesets available, backing them up, and moving them.
