Example PowerShell script to perform a DR operation from a local directory data source to a Filespace mount-point. This particular scripting example can be adapted. 

It relies on LucidLink client installed as a service with an unmounted mount-point and ensures it is only running once.

Once initiated, it mounts the Filespace to Z:, confirms the mount exists and performs a Robocopy from example path C:\Data to Z:\Data, awaits upload completion, syncs metadata and file data before unmounting.

Setup:

lucid service --install
lucid service --start
lucid link --fs <filespace.domain>

Schedule:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "dr_sync.ps1"

Script:
