The Filespace

Part of the cell namespace is the filespace, which consists of files and directories. These can be physically stored on many different machines, but are available to users on every machine, as long as those users have the proper authorization. You manage the filespace in units called filesets, which are hierarchical groupings of related files. Although files are distributed throughout the network, located on and managed by different servers, users see a single filespace. DCE provides administrative tools to assist you in backing up, moving, and replicating filesets.
