Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue
The Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication displays replication statistics for shares or partitions that
are configured for Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication (see
Configuring Directory/File or Cartridge
).
To view the Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue:
1. Select a share or partition that is configured for Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication.
If multiple targets are configured, click the arrow next to the share or partition to display all targets, and
then select the desired target.
2. Click
Queue
.
The Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue displays the following information for the
share or partition:
File/Directory or Barcode
The file/directory or cartridge to be replicated.
State
The replication state for the file/directory or cartridge.
Progress
The percentage complete for replication of the file/directory or cartridge.
Estimated Duration
The estimated time it will take to complete replication for the file/directory
or cartridge.
Note:
The estimated duration may display as unknown if replication
has been very recently initiated. After the system has enough
information to calculate a value, the estimated duration will display.
Additional Information
l
The contents of the Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue are dynamic. Because
of this, statistics are subject to change if items are added to the queue.
l
The queue may show a large number of deletion entries after a single directory is deleted. This is
expected behavior, and occurs because several recursive file or subdirectory deletions may be
required.
3. To close the Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue, click the Close icon.
Scheduling a Share or Partition For Replication
When a share or partition is enabled for replication, it is important to regularly replicate the share or partition
to the target systems. Quantum recommends scheduling replication to run after backups are complete.
