Hi there
I'm currently testing CPS 2010 R3 and have installed on my test environment that runs on Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V Environment with all guest VM's running Windows Server 2008 R2.
I've installed the continuous protection server components on 2 servers, one as the protection server and one as the business server.
I've created a folder called shared and shared that with everyone full control permissions. The folder's NTFS permissions are FULL Control for the admin account used to install CPS and Modify for users.
I created a CPS job to continously replicate files whenever they change and copied some initial data into that shared folder.
I started the job and all was Ok and the files were replicated to the protection server.
On a third Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server with Office 2007 installed, I then made a change to a Word document and saved the file, all seemed OK, but on the protection server I noticed that the change didn't sync or replicate properly and the original filename on the protection server was now set to 0 bytes in size and a .tmp file was created that was the size of the original file. This happens to all Office documents, Word, Excel etc.. but not to text documents I've edited with notepad or wordpad.
If I stop the job and restart, it syncs everything back to normal but obviously I want to use the 'whenever a file changes' option to continuously protect my file changes.
I know from other research that when Office edits a file, it creates a tmp file of the original file, creates a new blank file, copies the new contents and deletes the tmp file so it seems CPS syncs the first two changes but misses the final part of the edit process.
I've tried permissions, running as administrator but can't seem to figure it out.
I'm assuming this isn't normal behaviour? so hopefully someone can help?
I'm doing further testing by downgrading to CPS 2010 R2 and 2010 and see if that does the same thing.
Regards
Pete
