Synchronizing a Share
Synchronize a NAS share to synchronize the contents of the share with
the corresponding share on the target system. To synchronize a share, it
must be configured for Directory/File Based Replication (see Configuring
a Source Share for Directory/File Based Replication on page 93).
Synchronizing a share ensures that the contents of the source share are
the same as the target share. The synchronization verifies that the same
files exist in both locations, and that no additional files exist in either
location. This is important because, during replication, files that are
deleted on the source share are not automatically deleted on the target
share. These files are only deleted during synchronization.
Quantum recommends that you periodically perform a synchronization,
and also that you also perform a synchronization before scheduled
space reclamation.
Note: If replication is paused, always perform a synchronization after
replication is resumed again. Any file deletions that occurred
while replication was paused will be propagated from the
source shares to the targets.
To synchronize a share, select the share and click Synchronize Now . The
status of the synchronization job displays in the Status column.
To cancel the synchronization job, select the share and click Abort Sync .
