Note: For information about specifying the Sync ID on the target
share, see Configuring a Target Share for Directory/File Based
Replication on page 107.
To configure a share for Directory/File Based Replication:
1 Select the share and click Edit .
The Edit NAS Share page displays (see Figure 50 ).
2 If it is not already selected, select the Enable replication check box
to enable replication for the share.
3 Select the Enable Directory/File Based replication to target Sync
ID check box to enable Directory/File Based Replication for the share.
Or clear the Enable Directory/File Based replication to target
Sync ID check box to disable Directory/File Based Replication for the
share.
4 Enter a Sync ID in the box.
The Sync ID is used to identify the target share that will receive
replicated data from the source share. The Sync ID must be identical
to the Sync ID of the target share on the target system.
5 Click Apply .
Note: After you configure a share for Directory/File Based Replication,
you should periodically synchronize it to keep it in sync with
the target share (see Synchronizing a Share on page 95).
Replicating a Share
Replicate a NAS share to send a snapshot of the share to the target
system. A snapshot is required to recover the data on the share at a later
time. If you have not configured a replication schedule for a share,
replication only occurs when you manually initiate it (see Configuring a
Replication Schedule For a Share on page 93).
Note: During replication, files that are in use on a share are skipped.
To replicate a share, select the share and click Replicate Now . The status
of the replication job displays in the Status column.
