How to tranfer the Existing 160GB Shared NTFS Root Folder to DFS Management and Replicate this folder.

Dear All,

This is my first time using DFS Management. I created a test files and folders to my namespace and it works fine in Replicating the files to my HQ and Branch server. But I can see in Staging Quota is 4.00GB.

So I am planning to transfer my NTFS root folder (D:\shares\DATA 160GB used space) in DFS Namespace and Run the Replication.

I just want to know how it affects the Staging Quoata. if I run the Replication to my 160GB what value of Staging Quota will appear in my replication -> membership tab-> Staging Quota?. Or I need to increase the Staging Quota first to 1TB before adding my NTFS Root Folder that I want to transfer?

Thank you.
