a Source Share for Directory/File Based Replication on page 178).
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.
You should perform a synchronization in any of the following situations:
• When Directory/Filed Based Replication is first enabled for a share.
• If a Directory/File Based Replication job fails.
• If Directory/File Based Replication is disabled for a time and then is
re-enabled.
Note: Even when replication is paused, the system continues to
queue Directory/Filed Based Replication operations. Each time
an operation is queued, the system logs an administration alert
that reports the total number of queued Directory/Filed Based
Replication requests.
Note: If a synchronization fails, make sure the target share is
unlocked (see Configuring a Target Share for Directory/File
Based Replication on page 201).
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 .
