I have a simple file share on Windows 2012 R2 server which I would like to be high available. I created failover cluster, but I'm not able to set up FileServer service as there is no shared storage. For my purposes buying high available shared storage is very expensive option.
The manual way would be to create secondary file share and use robocopy for syncing. In case of failover I would need to change network path to 2nd server.
Is there any fully-automated solution which is free or included in Windows licence?
I would use DFS and setup replication between the servers, you can set it for one way or full mesh replication. DFS Blog from MS.
