DFS folder replication

Question

I want to replicate a folder from source server to destination server. I am looking only for a one way folder synchronization(Source server to destination server) & not from the other way(Destination server to source server).
Is it possible only for the one way synchronization?

Hi @Lingampalli, Sandeep Kumar Reddy ,

DFS Replication uses a compression algorithm known as remote differential compression (RDC). RDC detects changes to the data in a file and enables DFS Replication to replicate only the changed file blocks instead of the entire file.

You can follow all these links for one way synchronization
