Managing Storage Replica

Storage Replica (SR) is a feature of Windows Server 2022 that replicates storage volumes to other systems. SR is only available with the Windows Server 2022 Datacenter edition. With SR, you replicate all the files in one volume, for example, the F: drive, to a disk on another host, for example, SRV2. After setting up the SR partnership, as you update the F: drive, Windows automatically updates the target drive on SRV2, although you cannot see the files while Windows is replicating the volume (from SRV1 to SRV2). An SR partnership also requires a drive on the source and destination hosts for internal logging. SR is useful for maintaining a complete replica of one or more disks, typically for disaster recovery.
