ConfiguringaTargetShareforDirectory/FileBasedReplication
Configuring a NAS share for Directory/File Based Replication enables the automatic replication of files and
directories on the source partition to the target share. Before you configure a share on the source system for
Directory/File Based Replication, you must configure a share on the target system to receive the replicated
data from the source share.
Note:For information about configuring Directory/File Based Replication on the source system, see
Configuring Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication on page 141.
To configure a target share for Directory/File Based Replication:
1. Select the share and click Edit.
The EditShareSettings page displays (see Figure 94 below).
Figure94:Edit Share Settings Page
2. Select the EnabletoreceiveDirectory/FileBasedreplicationdata check box to enable
Directory/File Based Replication for the share.
Or clear the EnabletoreceiveDirectory/FileBasedreplicationdata check box to disable
Directory/File Based Replication for the share.
3. Enter a SyncID in the box.
The Sync ID is used to identify the source share that will send replicated data to the target partition. The
Sync ID must be identical to the Sync ID of the source share on the source system.
4. Select an Access option:
l Locked - The share is not allowed to receive new Directory/File Based Replication data.
l Unlocked - The share is allowed to receive new Directory/File Replication data.
