Considerations For Enabling A Consistent User Experience When DR Is Invoked
To ensure that users subscribed to resources in StoreFront are available in DR scenario remember to replicate the subscription database which is now a *.ebd file stored at the following path located on your StoreFront server “C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\Services\SubscriptionsStoreService\1__Citrix_Store” and the file name is “PersistentDictionary.edb” with references from – “FAQ: Subscribed Applications Saved on StoreFront 2.0” – http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139037.

If you have customised your RfW interface with your own organisation logo, colours e.t.c it is worth ensuring that you backup and or replicate the changes made to “C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sites\Citrix\StoreWeb\contrib)” so that in the unlikely event your DR is invoked users will still have the exact same look and feel and exact website addr when they login without actually being aware that your DR data centre or site has being automatically invoked due to infrastructure, communication, network failure or major disruption with references from – http://blogs.citrix.com/2013/06/26/customizing-receiver-for-web-in-storefront-2-0/.
